What the data for this category looks like
Data sources for this category include manufacturing enterprise MES systems, online inspection equipment, laboratory systems, process parameter libraries, customer standards, and historical defect libraries. Daily processed documents include control plans, patrol inspection records, SPC reports, final product inspection reports, nonconforming product review forms, release forms, and quality monthly reports. Data is collected continuously alongside production batches and shifts. Some reports update daily or per production batch. Document fields include process parameters, inspection frequency, tolerance ranges, inspection results, defect types, and more. Some fields have clear standard units, such as length tolerances and defect proportions.
Constraints imposed on document parsing and chunking
Multi-source heterogeneous data sources require parsing tools to support multiple document formats. These include structured reports and unstructured review forms. High-frequency updates per batch and shift require parsing processes to have stable concurrent processing capabilities. This avoids parsing delays that disrupt production release workflows. Documents contain precise fields with units. Chunking must retain the association between fields and units. This prevents loss of contextual links after splitting. The continuous addition of historical defect libraries requires chunking strategies to link similar defect documents. It also requires controlling single chunk size to maintain retrieval accuracy. Approval documents such as release forms have clear signature fields. Parsing must retain contextual information for key approval nodes. This prevents chunking from splitting approval workflow information.
Configuration Settings
These configurations apply to FastGPT v4.17.0.
| Configuration Item | Recommended Value | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
chunkSize | 800–1200 characters | Adapts to the length of multi-field documents such as SPC reports and inspection reports. Retains contextual links between fields |
chunkSplitter | Split by paragraph + heading | Matches hierarchical documents such as control plans and review forms. Avoids splitting approval or inspection workflows |
customPdfParse | Enable structured parsing mode | Adapts to PDF reports exported from MES systems. Retains the correspondence between tables, fields, and units |
PARSE_FILE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS | 300–600 seconds | Addresses parsing durations for batch patrol inspection records and monthly reports. Prevents parsing interruptions from high-frequency updates |
chunkSettingMode | Manual configuration mode | Adjusts chunking rules for different document types (such as release forms and SPC reports). Adapts to the multiple document structures of this category |
Three Common Misconfigurations
- Phenomenon: Parsed document content cannot be rendered as Markdown. Context references only display original markup or garbled text. Cause: Structured parsing mode for
customPdfParseis not enabled. This causes loss of table and field alignment information in PDF reports. - Phenomenon: After passing in an external document link, the parsing result is empty or only returns the link address. No document content is extracted. Cause: Custom parsing rules are not configured to adapt to the authentication mechanism of internal enterprise document links. This prevents the parsing tool from accessing the target document.
- Phenomenon: Parsing tasks time out and terminate, returning a timeout error prompt. Cause: The configured value of
PARSE_FILE_TIMEOUT_SECONDSis lower than the actual parsing duration of batch documents. This prevents complete content extraction.
How to Confirm Proper Configuration
- Upload a typical SPC report PDF. Verify that the parsed text retains core fields and their corresponding units.
- Pass in an internal enterprise patrol inspection record link. Confirm that the parsing result includes core content such as inspection time, inspection items, and results.
- Review chunked document fragments. Confirm that adjacent chunks retain contextual links for approval nodes or inspection workflows.
- Check parsing task run logs. Confirm that no timeout or format error prompts appear.
