Behind this dataset
Same schema. As many rows as you need.
These 200 rows came out of a blueprint — 15 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 record links to device type and usage pattern
- Faults follow manufacturer-specific probabilities
- Maintenance actions resolve specific error codes
- Incident timestamps mimic hospital shift cycles
