Supplier and Process Quality Audits for Steel Rolling and Finishing: Multi-turn Dialogue and Prompting

The data for this category comes from slab or billet batches, reheating furnaces, mill automation control systems, online thickness and width

What Data Looks Like for This Category

The data for this category comes from slab or billet batches, reheating furnaces, mill automation control systems, online thickness and width measuring equipment, surface inspection devices, and manufacturing execution systems (MES). Data is updated per coil or individual steel product, with some parameters synchronized in real time. Daily associated documents include rolling plans, heating schedules, rolling specifications, shape and thickness records, surface quality reports, and quality certificates. Data fields include batch number, thickness (millimeters), surface defect level, furnace temperature (degrees Celsius), and others. The structure changes dynamically based on rolling process nodes.

Constraints Imposed by These Characteristics on Multi-turn Dialogue and Prompting

This category’s data is updated per coil or individual product, with some synchronized in real time. This requires multi-turn dialogue to bind chatId to track the full-process data of the current steel coil, to avoid mixing up across batches. Daily associated documents include multiple types of process parameters, so prompts must accurately match specific fields such as rolling plans and surface inspection reports, and cannot be called generically. The timeliness of real-time data requires that the dialogue context be limited in rolling range, to avoid old data interfering with current audit judgments. The requirement for coil-level traceability requires that batch association information be retained in dialogue, to ensure that audit results can be mapped to specific steel coils.

Configuration Settings

Configuration ItemRecommended ApproachRationale
chatIdBind to the current steel coil batch numberTrack full-process audit data for a single steel coil, avoid mixing up across batches
variablesPass in batch number, thickness deviation (millimeters), surface defect levelInject real-time inspection data into prompts, match business document fields
Context window size800–1200 charactersAccommodate multiple process documents and real-time inspection data for a single steel coil, avoid context overflow
Rerank trigger conditionTrigger when messages contain inspection fieldsPrioritize sorting document fragments related to the current steel coil quality
messages formatArrange in the order of system prompt, user input, tool returnAlign with the context parsing logic of multi-turn dialogue, ensure the model correctly understands the audit workflow
Timeout threshold300 secondsAdapt to synchronization delays of real-time inspection data, avoid dialogue interruptions

Three Common Misconfigurations

  • Phenomenon: The rerank model call record is not displayed in the dialogue details page. Cause: No rerank-triggered context identifier is associated in messages, causing the system to not synchronize relevant data for this process.
  • Phenomenon: Placeholders in the prompt are not replaced with actual business parameters, and returned content is unrelated to steel rolling quality audits. Cause: Corresponding fields are not passed via the variables parameter, or the passed field names do not match the prompt placeholders.
  • Phenomenon: After triggering a specified response in multi-turn dialogue, the system ends the session without waiting for new user input. Cause: No continuation trigger rule for messages is configured, causing the context to not retain the waiting state.

How to Confirm Configuration is Complete

  • Enter the dialogue details page of FastGPT v4.17.0, check whether messages contain business variables such as the current steel coil batch number.
  • Initiate a simulated audit dialogue, enter test content including thickness deviation and surface defects, verify whether prompt placeholders are correctly replaced.
  • Check the context window configuration, confirm that the rolling range adapts to the number of process documents for a single steel coil, avoid key data being truncated.
  • After triggering the rerank process, check the dialogue log for relevant markers, confirm that the rerank logic is working properly.
