Behind this dataset

Same schema. As many rows as you need.

These 120 rows came out of a blueprint — 26 columns with generation rules behind each one. Open it in Data Factory to retune a column, add your own, wire in foreign keys, and run it at the size you actually need.

Rules it was built with

Each row represents a daily summary for one production line.
Includes variables for machine runtime, energy consumed (kWh), and waste produced (kg).
Flags for scheduled maintenance and energy-saving interventions are tracked.
Lines with >10% energy reduction compared to baseline are highlighted.
Missing values for machine runtime must be marked as 'N/A'.
