Drafting Process Documents and Exception Reports for SMT Mounting and Electronic Assembly: Source Citation and Traceability

What this category of data looks like

This category of data covers the entire electronic assembly workflow. Daily documents include BOM and coordinate files, line change lists, stencil and reflow oven temperature records, first article confirmation reports, SPI/AOI inspection reports, maintenance records, and traceability labels. Data sources include BOM, Gerber and coordinate files provided by customers, factory MES systems, solder paste and component batch ledgers, data collected from mounters, SPI/AOI equipment, and reflow oven temperature collection systems. Data updates are triggered in real time by work orders and line change operations. Fields in a single document include part number, reference designator, component batch, inspection parameters, reflow oven temperature curve, and no additional statistical percentage data.

Data sources for this category are scattered and updated in real time. Citation and traceability processes must bind exclusive data sources for corresponding work orders to avoid mixing data across work orders. Single documents have multiple fields linked to production steps. Citations must accurately match fields such as part number, reference designator, and component batch to prevent invalid matches. Data updates in real time with work orders and line changes. Traceability must link document generation timestamps and work order IDs to ensure cited content is valid for the current production step. Citations for exception reports and process documents must directly link to original inspection equipment and MES records to provide clear basis for subsequent quality traceability.

How to set the configuration

Configuration ItemRecommended ValueRationale
quoteMaxToken800–1200 tokenSMT documents contain long text such as reflow oven temperature curves and inspection reports, and need to cover complete cited content
responseDataAssociate work order ID and component batch fieldsAccurately match exclusive data for production work orders to avoid confusion across work orders
detailEnabledDisplay original fields of cited content such as part number and reference designator to meet traceability requirements
Single search limitTop 6 entriesSMT documents have many associated fields, need to cover sufficient matching results while avoiding redundancy
Cited content templateInclude document generation timestamp, work order ID, and original inspection parametersProvide clear original data identifiers for traceability

Three common errors

  • Scenario: No optional values appear when selecting variable references in citation configuration. Cause: Variable output for corresponding work order ID and component batch was not configured in the preceding node.
  • Scenario: Cited content cannot match corresponding reflow oven temperature records. Cause: Real-time updated data source timestamp was not bound, and old version line change list data was cited.
  • Scenario: Cited content is truncated and original documents cannot be traced. Cause: quoteMaxToken value is too small, failing to cover complete inspection report content.

How to confirm configuration is complete

  • Generate a process document for a simulated work order, check whether cited content is linked to BOM and reflow oven temperature record data for the corresponding work order.
  • Manually modify fields of a test document, verify whether cited content updates synchronously to confirm binding to real-time data sources.
  • View the citation log in FastGPT v4.17.0, confirm that each piece of cited content is marked with document generation timestamp and work order ID.
  • When drafting an exception report, cite content from SPI/AOI reports, check whether detection data for the corresponding component batch can be matched.
