What this category’s data looks like
This category of data comes from manufacturing enterprise IPQC, FQC, quality engineering and laboratory teams. Data sources include MES systems, online inspection equipment, laboratory systems, process parameter databases, customer standard databases, and historical defect databases. Daily generated documents include control plans, patrol inspection records, SPC reports, finished product inspection reports, nonconforming product review forms, release forms, and quality monthly reports. Data is collected continuously per production batch and per shift. Fields include inspection item number, inspection parameter threshold, measured value, judgment result, inspector, and inspection time. Some documents include numeric units such as millimeters and pascals.
Constraints imposed on HTTP interfaces and external systems
Because data sources are scattered and update frequencies vary, HTTP interfaces must support batch pulling and incremental synchronization of multi-source data to avoid repeatedly pulling expired data. Differences in fields across multiple document types require the interface return structure to support dynamic field mapping; fixed field templates cannot be used. Continuously collected real-time data requires the interface timeout setting to adapt to short-cycle requests, and also requires support for resumable uploads to handle network fluctuations. Frequent calls to the historical defect database and customer standard database require limiting the number of single interface requests to avoid overloading external systems.
Configuration settings
| Configuration Item | Recommended Practice | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
Authorization | Carry a Bearer-type token with a validity period of 2 hours | Adapt to the permission verification rules of internal enterprise systems and avoid frequent token refreshes |
variables | Bind inspection batch ID and customer standard version as global variables | Ensure that quality data embedded in bid documents matches the actual situation of the corresponding batch |
responseData | Only return fields for inspection items, measured values, judgment results, and release status | Streamline returned content and reduce resource consumption for context processing |
| Timeout setting | 30–60 seconds | Adapt to the conventional response duration of inspection equipment and MES systems, avoid timeouts during short-cycle data pulling |
| Batch request limit | First 15–20 batch data entries | Balance interface call efficiency and external system load, align with the scale of inspection data for a single production batch |
| Field mapping rules | Automatically match corresponding fields by document type | Comply with field differences across multiple document types such as control plans and finished product inspection reports |
Three common mistakes
- Interface calls return empty fields and do not trigger an automatic retry mechanism. The cause is that no field verification rules are configured for
responseData, and invalid content is not correctly intercepted when the external system returns abnormal data. - Interface requests time out, causing the bid document generation process to interrupt. The cause is that the timeout setting is shorter than the conventional duration for pulling data from inspection equipment or MES systems, and does not adapt to the response rhythm of actual business.
- Knowledge base parsing status is not correctly retrieved via the API. The cause is that the correct knowledge base ID parameter is not bound via
variables, causing the API call to point to incorrect knowledge base resources and failing to return status feedback for parsing in progress, ready, or failed.
How to confirm configuration is complete
- Call the HTTP interface configured with FastGPT v4.17.0, check whether the
Authorizationtoken can pass the permission verification of the external system normally and return a 200-series valid status code. - Trigger the interface to pull single-batch inspection data, confirm that
responseDataonly returns the preset fields for inspection items, measured values, judgment results, and release status, with no redundant content. - Submit an interface request, observe whether the status feedback of knowledge base parsing can be correctly retrieved, and match the inspection data of the corresponding production batch.
- Simulate network fluctuation scenarios to verify that the interface completes the request within the set timeout threshold without interruptions.
