Shift Handover Summary Agent with CrewAI

When control engineering and maintenance teams change shifts, critical ongoing fault investigations and machine status updates can be lost. In this challenge, developers will deploy a two-agent CrewAI system (Shift Summarizer Agent & Safety Inspector Agent) that reads continuous SCADA event logs and generates concise, safety-audited shift handover reports.

Challenge brief

What you are building

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

Deploy a CrewAI shift handover agent team to summarize SCADA downtime events and safety alerts for incoming plant crews.

Delivery guide

How work is evaluated

Evaluation

Evaluates accuracy and safety highlight inclusion in generated handover summaries.

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

Alarm Highlight Check

High temperature alert must be explicitly listed in critical alerts array

Binary check

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

Dimension 2

Log Summary Completeness

Percentage of downtime events captured accurately • target: 1 • range: 0-1

Binary check

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

Learning goals

What you should walk away with

  • Define CrewAI agents with clear shift handover reporting responsibilities

  • Process raw SCADA downtime logs and produce chronologically ordered summaries

  • Highlight unresolved safety interlocks requiring immediate attention

  • Format output reports in standard industrial shift log structures
