What is AssetOpsBench?

AssetOpsBench is a unified framework for developing, orchestrating, and evaluating domain-specific AI agents in industrial asset operations and maintenance. It provides reproducible scenarios, agent tooling, and evaluation pipelines for multi-step workflows in simulated industrial environments.

Domain-Specific MCP Servers

| MCP Servers | Important tools | |---|---| | IoT | get_sites, get_history, get_assets, get_sensors | | FMSR | get_sensors, get_failure_modes, get_failure_sensor_mapping | | TSFM | forecasting, timeseries_anomaly_detection | | WO | get_work_order_distribution, predict_next_work_order, ... | | Vibration | compute_fft_spectrum, compute_envelope_spectrum, ... | | ... | ... |

Agent Frameworks

• [Plan Execute](./src/agent/plan_execute) — plan-and-execute sequential workflow to work with any LLM
• [Deep Agent](./src/agent/deep_agent) — planning, sub-agents, and virtual filesystem for long-horizon tasks
• [Claude Agent](./src/agent/claude_agent) — ReAct-based orchestrator using Claude with agent-as-tool delegation
• [OpenAI Agent](./src/agent/openai_agent) — ReAct-based orchestrator using OpenAI models with agent-as-tool delegation

MCP Environment

The src/ directory contains MCP servers and a plan-execute runner built on the Model Context Protocol. See [INSTRUCTIONS.md](./INSTRUCTIONS.md) for setup.

Example Scenarios

| Domain | Example Task | |---|---| | IoT | "List all sensors of Chiller 6 in MAIN site" | | FMSR | "Identify failure modes detected by Chiller 6 Supply Temperature" | | TSFM | "Forecast Chiller 9 Condenser Water Flow for the week of 2020-04-27" | | WO | "Generate a work order for Chiller 6 anomaly detection" |

Some tasks focus on a single domain, others are multi-step end-to-end workflows. Explore all scenarios on Hugging Face.
