What the data for this category looks like
This category’s data originates from daily operation documents and systems of manufacturing enterprise equipment departments and workshop maintenance teams. It includes equipment ledgers, spot inspection forms, maintenance plans, work orders, fault analysis, spare parts lists, and special equipment inspection records. Data sources cover EAM/CMMS systems, equipment sensor data, operator spot inspection records, maintenance history archives, spare parts inventory systems, and statutory inspection information. Update frequencies include shift-based, daily, weekly, monthly cycles, and real-time updates when faults occur. Fields include equipment number, spot inspection items, abnormality descriptions, spare part codes, inspection validity period, and others. Units include units, times, days, pieces, and additional common units.
Constraints Imposed on Tool Calling and Plugins Workflows
Data sources for this category are scattered, and update rhythms vary. Tool calling must support interfaces for connecting multiple system data sources, and adapt to both real-time pulling and scheduled synchronization data acquisition methods. Documents include structured ledgers, work orders, and unstructured fault analysis content. Plugins must support text parsing and field extraction for different formats. The results of equipment spot inspection and repair Q&A are directly linked to production safety and compliance requirements. Tool calling must add parameter verification and permission verification steps to avoid unplanned downtime or compliance risks caused by data errors. Spare parts inventory and inspection records have high real-time requirements. Tool calling must connect to real-time data interfaces to ensure data timeliness.
Configuration Settings
The following configurations are based on FastGPT v4.17.0.
| Configuration Item | Recommended Setting | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| Tool Calling Switch | Enabled | Required to connect data sources such as equipment ledgers and spare parts lists to complete Q&A |
| Workflow/API tool selection | auto | Adapts to multiple types of tool calling, covering scenarios such as fault query and inventory verification |
| Single Tool Calling Timeout | 300 seconds | Sufficient response time is needed for equipment sensor data pulling and complete work order queries |
| Context Window Length | 8000–12000 token | Accommodates long text content such as complete spot inspection forms and annual maintenance plans |
| Maximum Number of Recalled Results | Top 8 entries | Matches the effective data volume for equipment fault analysis and maintenance history |
| Workflow/API function-call configuration | Enabled | Supports structured parameter transfer to ensure accurate transfer of fields such as equipment numbers and spare part codes |
| Tool Cache Upper Limit | 2000 MB | Stores equipment spot inspection history data and fault analysis documents |
Three Common Configuration Mistakes
- Calling the equipment spot inspection Q&A tool interface returns the
unAuthChaterror, even though the API key has been filled. Cause: Access permissions for the EAM/CMMS data source are not bound in the tool configuration, or the key has not been synchronized to the plugin calling module. - The repair Q&A results generated for long documents such as complete spot inspection forms and annual maintenance plans are inaccurate. Cause: The context window length has not been adjusted to fit long texts, leading to key content being truncated.
- Scheduled equipment spot inspection reminder tools do not appear in the interface. Cause: The global configuration switch for scheduled tasks has not been enabled, or the task configuration is not linked to the corresponding equipment data source.
How to Confirm Proper Configuration
- Manually trigger tool calling, enter an equipment number to query corresponding spot inspection records, and check if the returned results include fields such as equipment ledgers and spot inspection items.
- Import a single complete spot inspection form, submit a repair Q&A request, and confirm that no key content is missing in the returned results.
- Configure a scheduled spare parts inventory verification task, and check if the corresponding entry appears in the task list.
- View tool calling logs, and confirm that each call carries the correct data source parameters with no permission errors.
