“…As synthetic data continues to gain prominence across various domains, it delivers significant advantages such as cost reduction, increased accessibility, and reinforced privacy protection, thereby underscoring its pivotal role in contemporary research paradigms. Its utilization is evident in the discovery of causal relationships in manufacturing processes (Marazopoulou et al, 2016), predictive maintenance training in digital twins (Mihai et al, 2021), automotive manufacturing applications (Luckow et al, 2018), anomaly detection (Shetve et al, 2021), and production scheduling optimization (Georgiadis et al, 2022). Its role in the realm of big data analytics for future smart factories has been highlighted (Gao et al, 2020), along with its potential for improving quality and efficiency in the casting industry (Sun et al, 2021).…”
