Non-Ferrous Metal Smelting Business Process Guidance: Multi-Turn Dialogue and Prompt Engineering

Non-Ferrous Metal Smelting Business Process Guidance: Multi-Turn Dialogue and Prompt Engineering

What the data for this category looks like

Business data for non-ferrous metal smelting originates primarily from real-time production collection systems, quality inspection laboratory reports, ERP work order systems, and equipment operation logs. Data updates follow three rhythms: Equipment operating parameters refresh every 10 seconds. Quality inspection reports are compiled daily. Monthly work order ledgers are updated each month.

A single business document includes fields such as furnace number, smelting temperature, raw material ratio, output volume, and qualified inspection rate, with units of unmarked, ℃, %, tons, % respectively. Some documents also include process code snippets and equipment fault records.

Real-time high-frequency equipment data requires multi-turn dialogue to quickly sync the latest parameters. Avoid using expired data to guide processes. The multi-field, multi-unit document structure requires prompts to clearly define matching rules between fields and units. This prevents extraction errors. Long business process steps need multi-turn dialogue to track core parameters in variables. Ensure that each step's input is correctly linked to its corresponding process step. Monthly updated ledger data requires periodic cleaning of old data from conversation contexts. This avoids redundant information disrupting current processes.

How to set up configurations

Configuration ItemRecommended ApproachRationale
chatId binding ruleBind by smelting work order IDEnsure multi-turn dialogue contexts for the same work order are not confused, and associated with corresponding business data
messages length limit8000–12000 tokenCover interactive steps and data across the entire smelting process, avoid context overflow
variables binding scopeBind furnace temperature, raw material ratio, output volume fieldsFocus on core business parameters, reduce invalid context usage
Conversation timeout600 secondsAdapt to the multi-turn interaction duration of complex smelting processes, avoid mid-process interruptions
Prompt template length1000–1500 charactersCover process steps, field requirements, and unit rules, ensure accurate guidance

Three Common Misconfigurations

  • Phenomenon: The configuration button disappears after referencing a variable, and temperature settings cannot be modified. Cause: Temperature settings were enabled before binding parameters in variables. Variable referencing in FastGPT v4.17.0 locks some configuration items.
  • Phenomenon: After calling an interface call workflow, the running data in the conversation log is empty. Cause: The smelting work order ID was not correctly bound to the chatId parameter, so the context cannot be associated with corresponding business data.
  • Phenomenon: When passing an any parameter to the prompt of the "text content extraction" module to extract code snippets, the complete response shows the code snippet as undefined. Cause: The ownership field of the code snippet was not limited in the prompt. Code snippets for non-ferrous metal smelting are mostly process parameters; extraction fails without a clear scope.

How to Confirm the Configuration is Correct

  • Initiate a multi-turn dialogue, enter the smelting furnace number and raw material ratio parameters in sequence, check if variables correctly capture and save the input content.
  • Call the interface, then view the conversation log to confirm that the messages list contains complete interactive steps and context data.
  • Test the text content extraction function, enter a smelting process code snippet, check if the returned result includes the specified fields and units.
  • Simulate a long-duration interaction, confirm that the session is not interrupted early within 600 seconds, and the timeout setting takes effect.
