Bid Document and Quotation Preparation for Forging and Die Forging: HTTP Interfaces and External Systems

Data for this category comes from raw material quality certificates, heating furnace systems, press collection data, MES systems, non-destructive

What Data for This Category Looks Like

Data for this category comes from raw material quality certificates, heating furnace systems, press collection data, MES systems, non-destructive testing equipment, and customer forging drawings. Data updates follow the rhythm of each forging piece, each batch of workpieces, or each furnace production run. Daily supporting documents include forging process specifications, cutting cards, heating furnace records, forging process cards, mold life records, heat treatment work orders, and ultrasonic testing reports. Data fields include forging ratio, metal fiber direction, material heat number, forging batch number, qualified inspection items, and more. Units include millimeters, tons, furnace runs, and others.

Constraints for HTTP Interfaces and External Systems

Data for this category is updated per furnace run or batch and sourced from dispersed locations. HTTP interfaces must support pulling production and testing data within a specified time frame using batch ranges, to avoid performance overhead from full data pulls. Data fields must align with required items for bid documents. Interfaces must return standardized fields including forging ratio, fiber direction, and heat number, to fit the filling logic of bid documents. Since data is tied to the entire production workflow, interfaces must support returning multiple types of associated data in a single request. Interfaces must also validate field completeness to prevent bid document errors caused by missing critical information.

How to Configure Settings

This document is written based on FastGPT v4.17.0.

Configuration ItemRecommended ValueRationale
Request timeout600 secondsAdapts to the pull time required for complete production data of a single furnace run
AuthorizationBearer {custom API key}Complies with the identity verification specifications of FastGPT interfaces
variablesPass heat number, forging ratio, fiber directionUsed to dynamically fill fixed fields in bid documents
responseDataOnly return ultrasonic testing qualified items and process parametersFilters redundant data to simplify interface responses
Maximum number of data entries per single request500 entriesMatches the scale of forging data corresponding to a single bid document
Batch request limitFirst 20 furnace runsMatches the number of forging batches corresponding to a single bid document

Three Common Mistakes

  • Phenomenon: The interface returns the messages is empty error. Cause: Core forging parameters required for bid documents were not passed in variables, causing the interface to fail to generate a valid request context.
  • Phenomenon: The interface returns redundant data including mold wear records not required for bids. Cause: The responseData filtering rules were not configured correctly, and only the fields required for bids were not specified.
  • Phenomenon: Interface calls time out in an intranet deployment environment. Cause: The request timeout setting was not adjusted based on intranet network latency, and the default timeout duration is insufficient to cover intranet data pull time.

How to Verify Proper Configuration

  • Call the configured test interface to check whether Authorization verification passes and returns a correct identity verification status.
  • Review the fields returned in responseData to confirm that only forging parameters and testing data required for bid documents are included.
  • Pass a test heat number and verify whether the fields passed in variables can correctly match the filling requirements of a simulated bid document.
  • Adjust the request timeout duration to verify the call stability of the interface under different data volumes.
