A Review of Publicly Available Datasets from Manufacturing Systems

Smart manufacturing systems adapt to changes in the environment, which are detected via sensors. Decisions are then made by the control software of such manufacturing systems, e.g., by integrated AI-based algorithms. The design and evaluation of such algorithms require the availability of high-quality datasets. This paper provides an overview of the existing publicly available manufacturing datasets, offering a detailed exploration of the current landscape of shared data resources in the manufacturing sector and highlighting the utility of these datasets. The review identifies nine notable datasets with extensive documentation and comprehensive data coverage. Each of these datasets is described in detail and can be used for developing intelligent manufacturing systems, assessing their quality, and reporting on open gaps.
