Equipment Inspection and Maintenance Q&A for SMT Mounting and Electronic Assembly: Deployment and Upgrade

The business data for SMT mounting and electronic assembly scenarios comes from multiple sources: customer delivery files, production systems, and

What the data for this category looks like

The business data for SMT mounting and electronic assembly scenarios comes from multiple sources: customer delivery files, production systems, and device terminals. These sources include BOMs, Gerber files, coordinate files, MES system line change lists, first-piece confirmation records, real-time operating data from mounters, SPI/AOI devices, and reflow soldering equipment, plus maintenance records and traceability labels.

Data updates occur per work order, each line change, and in real time. Available documents include structured fields for part numbers, reference designators, and component batches. They also contain semi-structured furnace temperature curves and defect reports, plus binary stencil parameter files.

Constraints imposed by these characteristics during deployment and upgrade

This category has multi-source, heterogeneous data that updates frequently. During deployment, connection configurations for multiple data types must be adapted to avoid data pull failures caused by mismatched connection parameters.

Real-time updated business data requires database connection pools with sufficient capacity to prevent connection exhaustion from high-frequency read and write operations. Diverse document formats need pre-configured matching parsing rules to ensure inspection and maintenance Q&A can accurately extract key fields.

During upgrades, authentication and storage configurations must be synchronously verified to avoid system inability to access business data after parameter changes. Key configurations must also be backed up in advance to reduce upgrade rollback difficulty.

Configuration settings

This configuration is adapted for FastGPT v4.17.0. Specific settings are listed below:

Configuration ItemRecommended SettingRationale
DB_MAX_LINK10–20 connectionsMatches high-frequency read/write workloads of work order, line change, and inspection data in SMT scenarios, prevents database connection exhaustion
MONGODB_URICluster address for storing SPI/AOI reports and maintenance recordsMeets storage requirements for unstructured business documents in this category
PG_URLPostgreSQL instance address connected to the MES systemUsed to pull structured business data such as BOMs and line change lists
REDIS_URLDedicated cache instance addressAccelerates real-time inspection data queries and user session caching
STORAGE_S3_ENDPOINTEndpoint provided by the enterprise object storage service providerUsed to store large files such as stencil parameters and furnace temperature records
ROOT_KEYRandom string generated per enterprise security specificationsEnsures access permission security for background configurations

Three common configuration errors

  • Symptom: After upgrade, system login prompts incorrect account or password, and background access is blocked. Cause: User authentication configurations were not correctly synchronized during upgrade, or the ROOT_KEY parameter was changed, causing encryption logic errors.
  • Symptom: Text content extraction function fails, and defect data in SPI/AOI reports cannot be read. Cause: Parsing rules adapted for SMT document formats were not configured, or the STORAGE_S3_ENDPOINT parameter is incorrect, causing file reading failures.
  • Symptom: Docker deployment logs show the Reached the max retries error, and the fastgpt container cannot start. Cause: DB_MAX_LINK is set too small, high-frequency read/write operations cause database connection exhaustion, and retry limits are exceeded.

How to confirm configurations are properly set

  • Run the docker ps command to confirm all FastGPT-related containers are in running state.
  • Upload a BOM file from an SMT scenario to verify that key fields such as part numbers and reference designators can be normally retrieved after file parsing.
  • Log in to the background configuration page, modify the ROOT_KEY parameter, restart the service, and verify that the authentication logic works correctly.
  • Initiate a simulated inspection query to confirm that associated business data such as line change lists and furnace temperature records can be retrieved.
