Supplier and Process Quality Audit for Forging and Die Forging: Multi-turn Dialogue and Prompt Engineering

Forging and die forging production and audit data is sourced from raw material quality certificates, heating furnace systems, press collection data

What the data for this category looks like

Forging and die forging production and audit data is sourced from raw material quality certificates, heating furnace systems, press collection data, MES systems, non-destructive testing instruments, and customer forging drawings. Update frequency follows per piece, per batch, or per furnace heat. Daily documents include forging process specifications, cutting cards, heating furnace records, forging process cards, mold life records, heat treatment work orders, and ultrasonic testing reports. Document fields include furnace number, heating temperature, holding time, forging batch number, defect equivalent, forging ratio, and others. Units include ℃, hours, mm, and more. The length of a single document typically ranges from hundreds to thousands of characters.

What constraints these characteristics impose on multi-turn dialogue and prompt engineering

Since data is updated frequently per furnace heat or batch, dialogue context must limit turn count to avoid old data interfering with batch matching. Multi-field business documents require prompts to clearly specify core audit fields for extraction, preventing omission of key information such as furnace number and forging batch number. Multiple data sources require multi-turn dialogue to guide users to supplement missing parameters, ensuring audit completeness. The high severity of errors requires mandatory verification of key matching items in multi-turn check links, preventing batch confusion or missed defect detection.

How to set the configuration

This configuration is based on FastGPT v4.17.0 logic.

Configuration ItemRecommended SettingRationale
Context turn limitFirst 3 turns of dialogueForging production data updates per furnace heat or batch; old dialogue content is redundant and easily introduces batch confusion
Document chunk length800–1200 charactersSingle-segment content of forging process specifications and test reports falls within this range
Session parameter bindingBind chatId, messages, variablesTrack session batches, dialogue history, and audit parameters entered by users
Single recall result countTop 5 resultsForging-related document entries are concentrated; too many results easily interfere with audit judgment
Prompt variable configurationFill in forging batch number, furnace number, defect typeMatch core business fields that need to be verified for forging audits
Retrieval result sortingSort by detection time in descending orderPrioritize the latest heating furnace records and ultrasonic testing reports

Three Common Mistakes

  • Omitting the messages parameter when calling the dialogue interface prevents association of retrieved forging documents. The symptom is that returned results do not reference process specifications or test reports. The cause is incorrect configuration of session context binding.
  • Failing to bind the chatId parameter prevents persistent storage of dialogue history. The symptom is that no corresponding session record entry exists in MongoDB. The cause is neglecting required configuration for session tracking.
  • Failing to limit core audit fields in the prompt, and not guiding verification of material furnace batches and forging batches during multi-turn dialogue, leads to batch matching errors in audit results. The cause is not designing prompts based on business fields of the forging category.

How to Verify Correct Configuration

  • Initiate a test dialogue, enter a forging batch number, and check whether returned results are associated with heating furnace records and ultrasonic testing reports for the corresponding batch.
  • View the session storage medium, and confirm that the dialogue history corresponding to chatId has been correctly written.
  • Trigger a multi-turn dialogue, enter different audit parameters in sequence, and check whether variables correctly transmits field values entered by users.
  • Debug the knowledge base retrieval link in the workflow, and confirm that the number of recalled results matches the configured single recall limit.
