Challenge brief

What you are building

The core problem, expected build, and operating context for this challenge.

Coordinate warehouse dock appointments and carrier queue allocations across Jurong industrial facilities. Reconcile truck driver slot requests against loading bay limits and live traffic condition feeds.

Warehouse Operations Supervisor

Ingest carrier pickup appointment requests containing container numbers, prime mover registration, and booking time windows.

Query Singapore real-time traffic condition APIs to estimate hauler travel delay along major freight corridors.

Assign loading dock bays and staggered staging slots based on fork-truck availability and hazardous cargo restrictions.

Synthesize an operational yard gate pass with QR token and automated carrier arrival notifications.

A terminal dashboard displaying bay occupancy, pending hauler booking queues, traffic congestion alerts, and single-click appointment reschedule approvals.

Use data.gov.sg real-time traffic and weather APIs alongside synthetic JSON carrier pickup manifests stored in a local mock sandbox. Starter examples below are synthetic. They are not downloaded records.

Singapore open data API Extract real-time traffic and road incident APIs from data.gov.sg to calculate inbound hauler travel delays.

agno, fastapi, pydantic. Agno provides lightweight structured tool calling to integrate external traffic APIs with deterministic bay assignment schemas. Fast reasoning LLM via hosted API with structured output mode enabled.

Submit runnable source, pinned dependencies, setup commands, a working interface, example outputs, and a recorded end-to-end demo. Include tests and an action log.

Assigns non-overlapping dock bay time slots across valid carrier requests.

Adjusts pickup arrival buffers when traffic incidents are reported on corridor routes.

Generates structured gate access tokens containing bay assignment and container ID.

Rejects pickup bookings that exceed warehouse physical handling capacity.
