Introduction
why? what? faketory is factry's demonstration factory dataset what started as an internal project to demonstrate our product to internal teams using data that resembled a plant, evolved into a dataset that has broader use each simulated production line represents a typical beverage mixing and bottling process the data in this simulation follows realistic industrial logic tanks fill in sequence, pumps and mixers activate when required, and each stage is synchronized with downstream availability (e g the mixer only empties when a storage tank is ready to receive product) overall plant layout our plant consists of 2 lines each line produces flavored soda by combining filtered natural water with various concentrated ingredients in a controlled mixing process the process consists of three main areas input tanks preparation and buffering of incoming ingredients mixing area controlled blending and batch mixing storage & bottling intermediate storage and final bottling each component is instrumented with simulated sensors (level, flow, rpm, energy) that generate realistic process data for monitoring, control, and analytics demonstrations asset dimensions natural water tank t0 50 m³ (ø 4 m × h 4 m) lemon concentrate tanks t1 2 5 m³ (ø 0 5 m × h 2 5 m) lime concentrate tanks t2 2 5 m³ (ø 0 5 m × h 2 5 m) hfcs tank t3 28 m³ (ø 1 5 m × h 4 m) preservative tank t4 300 l (ø 0 35 m × h 0 78 m) soda storage tanks s1, s2 16 m³ (ø 1 6 m × h 8 m) process data and units of measurement pump flow rates are entered in liters per second (l/s), converted from m^3/h from the following guideline water pump 30 m^3/h ingredient pumps 0 25–0 5 m^3/h (small dosing pumps) output pumps 100 m^3/h (large transfer pumps)
