Challenge

Autonomous Factory Telemetry Agent with OpenAI Agents SDK and Devin

Legacy digital transformation projects fail due to fragmented, isolated telemetry streams across heterogeneous factory floors. You will develop an autonomous agent system using OpenAI Agents SDK alongside Cognition Devin integration to aggregate MQTT/SCADA feeds and generate corrective control actions. The agent must successfully process multi-turn facility incidents with under 500ms decision latency.

Evaluation rubric

How submissions are scored

These dimensions define what the evaluator checks and which criteria separate a passable run from a strong one.

Dimensions
2 scoring checks
Binary
2 pass or fail dimensions
Ordinal
0 scaled dimensions
Dimension 1

safety_override_check

Verifies that control actions do not violate safety interlocks.

Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.

Dimension 2

decision_latency_ms

Time taken from telemetry receipt to action dispatch • target: 450 • range: 0-2000

Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.
