Rapid Motor Control Center (MCC) Configuration Generator with OpenAI Agents

Custom Motor Control Center (MCC) engineering typically requires months of design iterations. Build an automated design assistant using OpenAI Agents SDK and Groq Cloud to process customer electrical specifications and instantly output standardized panel layout wireframes and component bills of materials.

Construct an OpenAI Agents SDK application running on Groq Cloud to automate electrical specification parsing and MCC panel bill of materials (BOM) generation.

Delivery guide

How work is evaluated

Evaluation

Evaluates the agent's speed and correctness in converting raw motor horsepower and voltage requirements into accurate electrical component lists.

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

bom_completeness

Validates all necessary starters and breakers are included.

Binary check

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

Dimension 2

inference_latency_seconds

Time taken to generate complete configuration using Groq acceleration. • target: 1 • range: 0.1-3

Binary check

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