However, existing benchmarks such as AssetOpsBench rely on manually authored scenarios and cover a limited set of asset classes. We extend AssetOpsBench with a Smart Grid Transformer asset class and four IEC-grounded diagnostic tools for health-index prediction, dissolved-gas analysis, winding-temperature assessment, and load-profile assessment. We further introduce ScenarioGeneratorAgent, a pipeline for synthetic industrial-agent scenario generation. The pipeline constructs evidence-grounded asset profiles, allocates coverage-aware scenario budgets across operational domains, and generates candidates through a hybrid validation-and-repair loop that enforces schema validity, tool reachability, physical plausibility, standards alignment, and deduplication. To improve scalability, we apply two-level caching, parallel focus-group generation, thread-pool offloading, batched LLM calls, and early rejection filtering. On Smart Grid Transformer scenario generation, these optimizations reduce end-to-end runtime by $8\\times$ for 50 scenarios while preserving quality, achieving a composite quality score of $74.2 \\pm 1.9$ compared with $73.8 \\pm 3.0$ for the unoptimized baseline. These results show that standards-grounded synthetic scenario generation can efficiently expand industrial-agent benchmarks without sacrificing scenario quality.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/synthetic-scenario-generation-for-evaluation-of-industry-4-0-agents", "canonical_source": "https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.22563", "published_at": "2026-07-28 04:00:00+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-07-28 04:29:06.345634+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["artificial-intelligence", "ai-agents", "ai-research"], "entities": ["AssetOpsBench", "ScenarioGeneratorAgent", "Smart Grid Transformer", "IEC"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/synthetic-scenario-generation-for-evaluation-of-industry-4-0-agents", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/synthetic-scenario-generation-for-evaluation-of-industry-4-0-agents.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/synthetic-scenario-generation-for-evaluation-of-industry-4-0-agents.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/synthetic-scenario-generation-for-evaluation-of-industry-4-0-agents.jsonld"}}
