Quality Issue Traceability and Defect Analysis for Photovoltaic Cell Manufacturing: Document Parsing and Chunking

Data sources include silicon wafer incoming material records, production MES system logs, operation logs of diffusion furnaces, coating equipment, and

What the data for this use case looks like

Data sources include silicon wafer incoming material records, production MES system logs, operation logs of diffusion furnaces, coating equipment, and printing presses, EL defect detection images, IV electrical performance test data, and laboratory yield analysis reports. Updates follow the rhythm of generating summary reports per silicon wafer batch, per individual wafer test result, and daily. Daily documents include structured process parameter tables, time-series operation curves, annotated detection images, and text description reports. Fields cover process temperature, deposition rate, defect coordinates, conversion efficiency, and other metrics, with units including degrees Celsius, seconds, watts per square centimeter, and others.

High-frequency wafer-level data requires the parsing process to have low latency, to avoid impacting real-time traceability requirements. The mixed multi-type document scenario requires the chunking logic to balance structured parameters and unstructured image annotations, without breaking data associations. Precise process parameter fields require chunking to retain context, avoiding splitting continuous parameter groups for the same process window. Large-volume files from batch detection data require the parsing module to support segmented processing, to prevent timeout interruptions.

How to set the configurations

Configuration ItemRecommended SettingRationale
chunkSize800–1200 charactersAdapts to the length of parameter sections in photovoltaic cell manufacturing documents, avoiding splitting paragraphs containing continuous process parameters
chunkSplitterChunk by paragraph + semantic relevanceRetains the contextual association between parameters and corresponding results in process cards and test reports, improving traceability accuracy
customPdfParseEnable OCR enhancement modeAdapts to text extraction requirements for scanned EL test reports and paper process cards
PARSE_FILE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS300–600 secondsMeets the parsing time requirements for batch EL detection images and multiple sets of device logs, avoiding timeout interruptions
UPLOAD_FILE_MAX_SIZE2000 MBSupports packaged uploads of multiple batches of detection data, adapting to daily enterprise data scale

Three common errors

  • API parsing succeeds but no results are returned. This is caused by incorrectly configuring the callback parameters for customPdfParse, or setting PARSE_FILE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS too short, resulting in a return before parsing finishes.
  • Logs prompt a split error. This is caused by setting chunkSize to less than 300 characters, splitting paragraphs containing continuous process parameters, leading to semantic fragmentation in chunks that cannot be associated.
  • Document parsing speed is too slow. This is caused by not enabling the batch parsing switch for customPdfParse, or uploading files exceeding the UPLOAD_FILE_MAX_SIZE limit, leading to segmented retries.

How to confirm the configuration is properly set

  • Upload a single diffusion process card PDF, check if the parsed chunks retain complete temperature and time parameter groups without semantic fragmentation.
  • Call the FastGPT v4.17.0 file parsing API, confirm that the returned results include parsed text fragments with no empty fields.
  • Upload a packaged file of batch EL detection images, check if parsing time stays within the preset range of PARSE_FILE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS.
  • View system logs, confirm there are no chunking errors related to chunkSplitter, and chunk lengths fall within the chunkSize setting range.
