Equipment Inspection and Maintenance Q&A for Electric Motor and Generator Manufacturing: Deployment and Upgrade

The data for this category comes from electromagnetic design databases, copper wire and insulating material batch ledgers, winding equipment

What the data for this category looks like

The data for this category comes from electromagnetic design databases, copper wire and insulating material batch ledgers, winding equipment, balancing machines, electrical test benches, and ERP/MES systems. Daily documents include winding process cards, insulation treatment records, dynamic balance reports, withstand voltage insulation test records, and type and factory test reports. Data is updated per single motor, per product batch, or for each type modification. Document fields include winding turns, insulation class, dynamic balance deviation values, temperature rise test data, withstand voltage test parameters, and some parameters have physical units such as rotational speed, current, and insulation resistance values.

What constraints these characteristics impose on the deployment and upgrade phase

The inspection and maintenance Q&A for this category relies on exclusive process and test data for individual units or batches. When deploying, support must be provided for associating exclusive knowledge base fragments with batches. Data update frequency changes with production batches. During the upgrade phase, ensure that incremental knowledge base synchronization does not interrupt production workflows. Document fields include multi-dimensional physical parameters, so support must be provided for precise matching retrieval of numerical fields with units. It must also support structured and unstructured data from multiple sources, to avoid retrieval failures caused by cross-system data format conflicts.

How to configure the settings

These configurations are written based on FastGPT v4.17.0.

Configuration ItemRecommended ApproachRationale
MONGODB_URIPoint to an internal enterprise 3-node replica set instanceData for this category grows continuously with production batches; a replica set ensures read/write performance and data reliability
REDIS_URLConfigure as a dedicated cache instance with 16 GB memory and 3600 second expiration timeUsed to cache frequently retrieved process documents and test data to reduce database load
DB_MAX_LINK100–150Matches the high concurrency of inspection requests at the workshop level, avoiding connection exhaustion
FE_DOMAINBind to a dedicated internal workshop domain nameRestrict access to the production department’s internal network to ensure data security
STORAGE_S3_ENDPOINTPoint to an internal enterprise object storage address with 500 GB capacityUsed to store uploaded process documents and test reports for unified management

Three common mistakes

  • Infinite service restarts after startup, with database connection timeout shown in logs. The cause is incorrect configuration of MONGODB_URI to point to the production environment database, or setting DB_MAX_LINK too low which causes connection pool exhaustion.
  • The knowledge base cannot sync structured ERP/MES data from the workshop. The cause is failing to configure STORAGE_S3_ENDPOINT to adapt to the enterprise’s internal object storage, resulting in failed file uploads.
  • Search results cannot match the exact value of winding turns. The cause is not enabling structured field matching rules, and using only full-text search leads to insufficient parameter matching accuracy.

How to verify the configuration is complete

  • Log in to the FastGPT backend to check database connection monitoring, and confirm that the current connection count is below the threshold set by DB_MAX_LINK.
  • Upload a winding process card to the knowledge base, and verify that the document can be retrieved via keywords and return complete content.
  • Initiate a test query containing "winding turns", and confirm that the returned results include the exact field data of the corresponding document.
  • Perform a service restart operation, and observe that the process logs have no abnormal errors and the service runs stably.
