Cross-Review of Technical Documentation for Steel Smelting and Continuous Casting: HTTP Interfaces and External Systems

Data sources include iron melt and scrap collection data, L2 process control data, laboratory composition reports, MES system data, energy medium

What data in this category looks like

Data sources include iron melt and scrap collection data, L2 process control data, laboratory composition reports, MES system data, energy medium system data, and equipment status data. Updates occur per heat, in real time, or on a shift basis. Daily associated documents include heat plans, batching lists, converter smelting records, composition reports, continuous casting process records, and slab judgment sheets. Document fields include heat identifiers, process parameters, composition data, and equipment status values, with units aligned with industrial metrology standards.

Steel smelting and continuous casting production processes have no arbitrary shutdown windows. HTTP interfaces must adapt to high-frequency, low-latency call requirements to avoid long-term blocking of production rhythms. Multiple heterogeneous data sources require interfaces to support integration with multiple external systems. A unified authentication mechanism must be used to manage access permissions. The number of documents associated with each heat is fixed and limited. Interface request load must match the document scale of this scenario to avoid overload. Additionally, document cross-review results directly affect heat quality. Interfaces must have reliable failure handling and status feedback capabilities to ensure traceability of exceptions.

How to configure settings

Configuration ItemRecommended PracticeRationale
AuthorizationBearer {Enterprise-specific API key}Complies with industrial system API security specifications to prevent unauthorized access to external production data
variablesBind heat number, cast sequence number, and composition threshold variablesMatches core identifier fields of steel smelting documents to enable accurate cross-document matching
responseDataReturn review results, matched document IDs, and difference field listsMeets the needs of scheduling departments to quickly locate abnormal documents and process deviations
Maximum number of documents per single requestTop 10 entriesAdapts to the average number of associated documents per heat to avoid request timeouts
Request timeout period30-60 secondsAligns with the collection and processing cycle of steel smelting data without blocking production processes
Number of failure retries2 timesAddresses short-term network fluctuations without impacting production rhythms

Three common configuration mistakes

  • Phenomenon: Documents uploaded via the file collection API have inconsistent segmentation compared to documents uploaded directly on the platform. Cause: The API upload does not adapt to the fixed segmentation rules of steel smelting documents, causing a deviation between the chunk division logic and the platform's default logic.
  • Phenomenon: It is not possible to quickly interrupt the generation process after calling the API to initiate a review request. Cause: The real-time status return logic for responseData is not configured, causing the request to block until the complete generation result is returned.
  • Phenomenon: The API request returns a 400 status code with a prompt that required fields are missing. Cause: Core identifier fields such as heat number are not bound in variables, causing the system to fail to match the corresponding document set.

How to confirm the configuration is correct

  • Use the interface debugging tool of FastGPT v4.17.0 to initiate a test request, upload a single converter smelting record document, and verify that the document ID returned in responseData matches the actually uploaded document.
  • Simulate sending multiple review requests at short intervals to verify that the interface can respond quickly and support real-time status feedback.
  • Check the interface logs to confirm that Authorization verification passes, and there are no unauthorized related errors.
  • Compare the same document uploaded via API and uploaded directly on the platform to confirm that the segmentation results are completely consistent.
