Behind this dataset

Same schema. As many rows as you need.

These 78 rows came out of a blueprint — 22 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 event includes a unique sensor ID and timestamp.
Inventory item ID must link to a standardized catalog.
Events capture movement type: in, out, relocated, or audit.
Anomalies (e.g., missing items) are flagged with a status code.
Entries include location zone within the institution.
