Supplier and Process Quality Audit for Metal Cutting Machining: Deployment and Upgrade

Data sources for this category include product drawings and 3D models, CAPP/CAM systems, machine tool collection terminals, tool management systems

What this category of data looks like

Data sources for this category include product drawings and 3D models, CAPP/CAM systems, machine tool collection terminals, tool management systems, MES systems, and measuring tool data. Data updates are triggered by work order execution, workpiece completion, sampling inspection, or tool replacement. Daily documents include process routes, operation cards, tool lists, CNC programs, first-piece inspection records, patrol inspection forms, and measuring tool calibration records. Fields include tool life (unit: hours), process dimension tolerances (unit: mm), CNC program version numbers, and others.

What constraints this category's characteristics impose on the deployment and upgrade phase

The multi-source, heterogeneous nature of data in this category requires adapting parsing rules for specialized documents such as process routes and CNC programs during deployment, and reserving mapping capabilities for specialized fields such as tool life and dimension tolerances. The high-frequency update characteristic requires configuring data synchronization triggered by work orders or tool replacements, to avoid delays that disrupt audit processes. The need for cross-document association requires configuring cross-document associated retrieval capabilities during deployment, linking operation cards and first-piece inspection records to meet the requirements of linked process and inspection data for supplier audits. For intranet deployment scenarios, access restrictions of local systems such as machine tool collection and MES must be accommodated, while meeting local storage requirements for production data.

Configuration Settings

This article is written based on FastGPT v4.17.0.

Configuration ItemRecommended SettingRationale
DB_MAX_LINK20–30 connectionsThis category of data is updated frequently with work orders, so a sufficient database connection pool is required to support concurrent queries
REDIS_URLLocal intranet Redis service addressUsed to cache frequently accessed tool lists and process route data, to meet low-latency requirements for production scenarios
STORAGE_S3_ENDPOINTEnterprise intranet object storage addressUsed to store large-volume production documents such as CNC programs and first-piece inspection records, to comply with local deployment requirements
FE_DOMAINEnterprise intranet domain name or local IP:8080Used to configure the frontend access address, to adapt to intranet deployment scenarios
ROOT_KEYRandomly generated 32-character stringUsed for system administrator permission verification, to ensure access security in production environments

Three Common Configuration Errors

  • Phenomenon: The frontend page fails to load after deployment. The browser console displays 404 errors or resource loading failures. Cause: FE_DOMAIN is not correctly configured as the local deployment access address, leading to incorrect frontend resource paths.
  • Phenomenon: The system logs prompt database connection failure after startup, and the audit configuration interface cannot be loaded. Cause: The address and port of the intranet MySQL service are not correctly filled in, or database permissions are not granted to the deployment node.
  • Phenomenon: Audit interface calls time out, and logs show retrieval time exceeding 30 seconds. Cause: A reasonable connection number for DB_MAX_LINK is not configured, causing the database connection pool to be exhausted and unable to respond to concurrent queries from multiple work orders promptly.

How to Confirm Proper Configuration

  • Access the configured FE_DOMAIN address, and confirm that the frontend page loads normally with no resource loading failure prompts.
  • Run a database connection test, and confirm that the connection number configured by DB_MAX_LINK supports at least 10 concurrent queries.
  • Upload CNC programs and first-piece inspection records, and confirm that the documents are stored normally to the storage service corresponding to the configured STORAGE_S3_ENDPOINT.
  • Log in to the system backend using ROOT_KEY, and confirm that administrator permission verification works correctly.
