Industrial Automation Business Intelligence Brief

This repository generates a daily brief focused on:

• Business keyword news (virtual commissioning, digital twin, PLC/robot simulation, intralogistics)
• Competitor updates

Outputs

• business_intelligence_brief.md : human-readable report for GitHub
• business_intelligence_brief.csv : structured data export
• docs/index.html : static HTML page (GitHub Pages)
• data/seen.json : history of seen links to avoid duplicates
• data/latest_by_topic.json : last relevant article per topic/competitor (fallback when there is nothing new)

Each topic or competitor always shows content when available:

• New articles this run → only those new articles are listed
• No new articles → the last stored article from latest_by_topic.json is shown instead

Timestamps in reports (generation time and article published) use America/Mexico_City, formatted as YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM and labeled (Mexico City).

Project structure

• config.py — feed URLs, keywords, output paths
• datetime_utils.py — Mexico City timezone helpers (zoneinfo)
• feeds.py, filter.py, storage.py, collector.py, writers.py — fetch, filter, dedup, fallback, and report logic
