Equipment Inspection and Maintenance Q&A for General Mechanical Equipment Assembly: Multi-turn Dialogue and Prompt Engineering

Daily data for general mechanical equipment assembly includes assembly process cards, BOMs, torque records, clearance adjustment records

What This Category of Data Looks Like

Daily data for general mechanical equipment assembly includes assembly process cards, BOMs, torque records, clearance adjustment records, commissioning reports, factory inspection sheets, and packing lists. Data sources include PLM/ERP, part inspection data, assembly tool collection systems, test benches, MES, and customer technical agreements. Update frequency is once per device or per order. Fields include material codes, torque values, clearance values, assembly stations, and more. Corresponding units include newton meters, millimeters, pieces, and others.

What Constraints These Characteristics Impose on Multi-turn Dialogue and Prompt Engineering

Data sources for this category are scattered and linked to a single device or order. Multi-turn dialogue must retrieve layered information from corresponding documents step by step. Avoid loading excessive redundant data at one time. Since updates occur once per device or order, dialogue context must be strictly bound to a single device or order. Avoid mixing assembly data from different orders. Multi-level BOMs and commissioning records require prompts to guide step-by-step disassembly and verification. Explicitly require returning parameter values with corresponding units to avoid data matching errors.

Configuration Settings

These configurations are based on FastGPT v4.17.0.

Configuration ItemRecommended SettingRationale
Maximum Context LengthFirst 1200–1800 charactersMatches the average total length of assembly documents for a single device, prevents context overflow
Context Binding IdentifierIsolate by chatIdEnsures dialogue history for a single device or order does not mix with data from other orders
Prompt Variable PopulationAutomatically bring in order numbers and station numbers from variablesAccurately match exclusive assembly data for the corresponding device
Dialogue Timeout Duration600 secondsMatches the average response time requirement for a single round of dialogue
Historical Dialogue Truncation ThresholdCalibrated based on actual testingBalances context completeness and response speed
Multi-turn Follow-up Trigger RuleAutomatically trigger when key parameters are missing from resultsSupplement core data such as torque values and clearance values

Three Common Mistakes

  • Symptom: Dialogue results only display plain text prompts, with no structured query data shown. Cause: variables are not configured to map query results to dialogue display variables, so data is not correctly brought into the dialogue context.
  • Symptom: After multiple rounds of dialogue, the accuracy of answers to the same question decreases. Restarting a new dialogue restores normal accuracy. Cause: Dialogue history for different orders is not isolated by chatId, causing context to mix assembly data from unrelated devices.
  • Symptom: Context clearing operations that meet specified conditions cannot be triggered. Cause: The messages parameter is not bound as a clearing trigger condition in the workflow, and the judgment logic is not correctly configured.

How to Confirm Proper Configuration

  • Initiate an inspection question for a single device, verify that exclusive data for the corresponding order number and station number is automatically included in the dialogue.
  • Trigger the multi-round follow-up process, confirm that the system automatically initiates follow-up questions based on missing information in the current answer.
  • Switch devices from different orders, confirm that dialogue history does not share data across orders.
  • Test input with a long historical dialogue, confirm that the system automatically organizes or truncates the context.
