| Summary: | Industry 4.0 is characterized by the availability of sensors to operate the so-called intelligent factory. Predictive maintenance, in particular, failure prediction, is an important issue to cut the costs associated with production breaks. We studied more than 40 publications on predictive maintenance. We point out that they focus on various machine learning algorithms rather than on the selection of suitable datasets. In fact, most publications consider a single, usually non-public, benchmark. More benchmarks are needed to design and test the generality of the proposed approaches. This paper is the first to define the requirements on these benchmarks. It highlights that there are only two benchmarks that can be used for supervised learning among the six publicly available ones we found in the literature. We also illustrate how such a benchmark can be used with deep learning to successfully train and evaluate a failure prediction model. We raise several perspectives for research.
