What data for this category looks like

Data sources include product drawings and 3D models, CAPP/CAM systems, data collected from machine tools, tool management systems, MES systems, and inspection and measuring tool records. Daily documents cover process routes, operation cards, tool lists, CNC programs, first-piece inspection records, patrol inspection forms, and measuring tool calibration records. The system triggers data updates per work order, each workpiece, sampling batch, or tool change. Document fields include operation number, tool model, cutting speed, feed rate, calibration error value, and more. Most formats are structured tables or parameterized process text.

What constraints do these characteristics impose during deployment and upgrade

To support multi-source data access, configure cross-system data pull adaptation rules during deployment to avoid format incompatibilities. Match data refresh frequency thresholds to data synchronization triggered by high-frequency updates, to prevent incremental data accumulation. When processing process documents that include structured parameters and CNC code in chunks, retain complete key fields to avoid losing process benchmark information during retrieval. During upgrades, synchronize and migrate business data associated with multiple systems to prevent the knowledge base content from being disconnected from actual production. The accuracy of retrieval results directly affects machining quality. Configure recall rules during the deployment phase based on the process logic of metal cutting machining.

Configuration Settings

Configuration ItemRecommended SettingRationale
DB_MAX_LINK20–30Match the concurrency requirements of multi-source data synchronization in metal cutting machining scenarios, and adapt to the concurrency volume of workshop-level data collection
MONGODB_URIBound to the dedicated connection address of the workshop process databaseIsolate production process data from other business data to ensure data access security
REDIS_URLredis://:custom 32-bit random password@target server IP:6379/0Cache frequently accessed process parameters and retrieval results to reduce database read and write pressure
STORAGE_S3_ENDPOINTAccess endpoint of enterprise internal object storageStore large-volume process documents such as CNC programs and 3D models to ensure large file reading speed
FILE_TOKEN_KEYCustom 32-bit random stringEncrypt access tokens for process documents to prevent unauthorized access to production data

Three common errors

  • Phenomenon: After upgrading to a new version, the original process knowledge base content is not displayed synchronously. Cause: The database migration step was not executed, causing the process data from the old version to not be mapped to the database structure of the new version.
  • Phenomenon: After redeploying the reranking model, each retrieval returns results marked false for reranking. Cause: The access key or endpoint address of the reranking model was not configured, causing the system to fail to call the reranking model to complete result sorting.
  • Phenomenon: Request timeout occurs when multiple stations concurrently query process data. Cause: The DB_MAX_LINK configuration value is too low, causing the database connection pool to be exhausted and unable to handle concurrent process data query requests.

How to confirm configuration completeness

Perform a database connection test to verify that the configured MONGODB_URI can normally connect to and read process document data. Upload a CNC program or operation card document to trigger vector generation and retrieval, and confirm that retrieval results include key process parameters from the document. Check system logs to confirm that the cache service configured via REDIS_URL normally receives and stores frequently accessed process data. Simulate concurrent queries from multiple stations to verify that the connection pool configured via DB_MAX_LINK can support concurrent requests without connection timeout errors.
