Motor Control Center Automated Estimator with OpenAI Agents SDK and Cerebrium

Motor control center (MCC) engineering and configuration leads to long delivery lead times due to manual bill-of-materials generation. Implement an automated MCC configurator using OpenAI Agents SDK deployed on Cerebrium to generate BOMs and wiring diagrams from single-line drawings. Reduce design review iteration time by 80%.

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

complete_bom_coverage

All input motors have corresponding control gear in output

Binary check

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

Dimension 2

bom_accuracy

Accuracy of component rating selection • target: 0.95 • range: 0-1

Binary check

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