What this category's data looks like
This category’s data covers the full injection molding workflow. Daily documentation includes injection molding process cards, raw material drying records, mold history records, first article inspection reports, patrol inspection forms, and material change and machine cleaning records. Production batches, mold and material changes, and each shift’s patrol inspection actions trigger data updates. Each document contains specific parameter fields such as injection molding machine pressure, mold temperature, raw material moisture content, and mold usage count, with units including megapascals, degrees Celsius, and percentages, among others. Data sources include resin batch and property data sheets, injection molding machine operating parameters, mold temperature controller data, Manufacturing Execution System (MES) records, and product dimension and appearance inspection results.
What constraints do these characteristics impose on the tool calling and plugin link
These data characteristics impose three constraints on the tool calling and plugin link. First, production batches, mold or material changes, and shift patrol inspections trigger data updates with high frequency and scattered nodes. Tools must support pulling latest data on demand to avoid using outdated process or inspection records. Second, data sources cover device parameters, system records, and semi-structured documents. Tools must support multi-format parsing, such as retrieving pressure and temperature values from injection molding machine APIs, and pulling material drying records associated with batches from the Manufacturing Execution System. Third, equipment inspection and maintenance Q&A requires linking data for specific batches or mold change cycles. Tool calls must support filtering target documents by production batch and mold change time, while limiting the amount of data returned per call to avoid exceeding context capacity limits.
Configuration Settings
These configurations are formulated based on FastGPT v4.17.0.
| Configuration Item | Recommended Setting | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| Tool call trigger timing | Triggered by production batch, mold change, or material change events | Matches the update rhythm of this category's data, only calls plugins to retrieve latest data at corresponding production nodes |
| Workflow/API tool selection | auto | Adapts to tool calling requirements for different equipment inspection and maintenance scenarios, automatically selects corresponding data sources or knowledge bases |
| Maximum data returned per tool call | Top 3 patrol inspection records + 2 process cards | Controls context capacity to avoid exceeding model processing limits |
| Plugin call timeout | 600 seconds | Covers time requirements for device API retrieval and multi-document retrieval, calibrated based on actual testing |
| Knowledge base filtering rules | Filter by mold number and material batch association | Matches the association attributes of injection molding category data, accurately locates documents for target production links |
| Workflow/API function-call configuration | Standard JSON format | Adapts to tool calling requirements of third-party models, standardizes parameter passing and result parsing |
Three Common Mistakes
- Phenomenon: Tool call nodes are triggered multiple times repeatedly. Logs show multiple calls to the same data source interface. Cause: No tool call termination node is configured in the workflow, leading plugin calls to fail to end as expected and trigger repeated loop calls.
- Phenomenon: When selecting a knowledge base referenced by a variable for the knowledge base search node, empty results are returned. Cause: The passed variable format does not match the knowledge base identification rules, or variable binding and verification were not completed in advance in the workflow.
- Phenomenon: Timeout error occurs when calling the injection molding machine parameter interface, returning status code 504. Cause: No reasonable plugin call timeout period is set, unable to cover actual time required for device data retrieval.
How to Confirm the Configuration is Correct
- Trigger a simulated production batch event, check that the tool call plugin is only triggered once, with no duplicate call records.
- Pass a known mold number variable, check that the knowledge base search node returns corresponding mold history records and patrol inspection records.
- Call the injection molding machine parameter interface, check that the plugin completes data retrieval within the set timeout period, with no timeout errors.
- Enter equipment inspection-related questions, check that
toolChoiceautomatically matches the corresponding data source, and that calls infunctionCallformat return standardized results.
