Build OPC UA Remote Telemetry Diagnostics with OpenAI Agents SDK and OpenAI o3

Industrial remote monitoring systems struggle to pinpoint root causes when complex machinery telemetry degrades across connected OPC UA nodes. Build an autonomous telemetry agent using OpenAI Agents SDK and OpenAI o3 to diagnose SCADA signal anomalies, reducing mean time to detection below two seconds.

Delivery guide

How work is evaluated

Evaluation

Evaluates the agent's accuracy in identifying telemetry root-causes and executing corrective PLC actions within time thresholds.

Datasets

Challenge datasets

Public datasets, plus the private datasets you have access to.

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

Diagnosis Accuracy Test

Checks if the diagnosed root cause matches the simulated fault.

Binary check

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

Dimension 2

latency_ms

Time taken to ingest telemetry and emit diagnosis • target: 1500 • range: 0-5000

Binary check

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