What you are building
The core problem, expected build, and operating context for this challenge.
Track serialized work-in-progress pallets through simulated open62541 station buffers. Generate dynamic lot dispatch proposals to eliminate workstation starvation and line imbalances.
Plant Production Dispatcher
Extract station buffer occupancy and machine operational states from open62541 snapshots.
Calculate queue dwelling times and upstream buffer accumulation rates.
Detect developing bottlenecks where buffer utilization exceeds operational safety margins.
Synthesize re-routing dispatch proposals for downstream work-in-progress lots.
Kanban-style station queue visualization with queue latency heatmaps and dispatch action approvals.
Mock time-series data reflecting factory buffer capacities, lot arrival timestamps, and station processing rates. Starter examples below are synthetic. They are not downloaded records.
open62541 OPC UA Reads structured equipment state arrays and station buffer queues via open62541 data models.
agno, pandas, fastapi. Agno provides lightweight agent orchestration to monitor multiple station buffer queues and propose dispatch schedules. Requires capability to evaluate mathematical constraints and schedule balancing heuristics.
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.
Identifies the primary bottleneck station based on queue dwell time.
Proposes dispatch routing that diverts WIP to alternate available stations.
Rejects dispatch reroutes when alternate buffers exceed 85% utilization.
