Challenge brief

What you are building

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

Correlate unstructured operator shift notes with Sparkplug B edge telemetry alarms and line state transitions. Synthesize actionable shift handover briefs and maintain a persistent historical resolution playbook for recurring production anomalies.

Operations Shift Supervisor

Parse Sparkplug B metric streams and device lifecycle payloads to identify anomalous machine trips.

Ingest informal text handover notes recorded by outgoing machine operators.

Align timestamped operator mitigation actions with underlying telemetry recovery events.

Synthesize a validated shift handover report highlighting unresolved line interlocks and verified operating tips.

Split-view shift console with incoming alarm timelines, draft handover cards, and operator note reconciliation editors.

Simulated Sparkplug B telemetry dumps (JSON-serialized payloads) and mock operator log snippets in local fixtures. Starter examples below are synthetic. They are not downloaded records.

Eclipse Sparkplug Sparkplug B device lifecycle state messages, metric timestamps, and property metadata structures.

mastra-ai, pydantic, sqlite3. Provides modular workflow orchestration for multi-step text normalization and time-series alarm correlation. Local or hosted LLM with strong technical summarization and timeline extraction capabilities.

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.

Correlates raw operator notes with Sparkplug B alarms within +/- 5 minutes.

Extracts explicit unresolved mechanical issues into an incoming shift task list.

Exports handover briefs adhering to standard ISA-TR106 shift documentation structures.

Produces read-only handover summaries; does not manipulate PLC states or reset active safety interlocks. Use mock external writes. Require human review before any real deployment.
