AssetOpsBench: A Real-World Evaluation Benchmark for AI-Driven Task Automation in Industrial Asset Management
TL;DR
An automated evaluation framework that uses three key metrics to analyze architectural trade-offs between the Agent-As-Tool and Plan-Execute paradigms, along with a systematic procedure for the automated discovery of emerging failure modes is introduced.
Abstract
AI for Industrial Asset Lifecycle Management aims to automate complex operational workflows, such as condition monitoring and maintenance scheduling, to minimize system downtime. While traditional AI/ML approaches solve narrow tasks in isolation, Large Language Model (LLM) agents offer a next-generation opportunity for end-to-end automation. In this paper, we introduce AssetOpsBench, a unified framework for orchestrating and evaluating domain-specific agents for Industry 4.0. AssetOpsBench provides a multimodal ecosystem comprising a catalog of four domain-specific agents, a curated dataset of 140+ human-authored natural-language queries grounded in real industrial scenarios, and a simulated, CouchDB-backed IoT environment. We introduce an automated evaluation framework that uses three key metrics to analyze architectural trade-offs between the Agent-As-Tool and Plan-Execute paradigms, along with a systematic procedure for the automated discovery of emerging failure modes. The practical relevance of AssetOpsBench is demonstrated by its broad community adoption, with 350+ users and over 500 agents submitted to our public benchmarking platform, supporting reproducible and scalable research for real-world industrial operations.
