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).
