Quality Problem Traceability and Defect Analysis for Plastic Injection Molding: Tool Calling and Plugins

This category’s data primarily comes from resin batch property archives, injection molding machine operating parameters, mold temperature machine

What the data for this category looks like

This category’s data primarily comes from resin batch property archives, injection molding machine operating parameters, mold temperature machine logs, workshop MES systems, first-piece inspection and patrol inspection forms, and material change and machine cleaning records. Daily archived documents include injection molding process cards, raw material drying ledgers, and mold history records. Data update points occur per production batch, each mold change or material change operation, and at the end of each shift. Data fields include raw material batch identifiers, equipment operating parameters, inspection result values, and no additional statistical quantitative percentage labels are used.

What constraints these characteristics impose on the "tool calling and plugins" workflow

The data update points for this category are scattered and have high frequency. Tool calling must support cross-source data retrieval across multiple time ranges, to avoid a single call only covering one type of production document. The presence of multiple data source types requires plugins to support linked retrieval of raw material archives, equipment parameters, and inspection results, to support multi-dimensional correlation for defect analysis. Tool calling demands triggered by production nodes must be bound to production event trigger timing, to ensure the call timing matches the production process. At the same time, defect analysis requires correlation of multi-dimensional historical data. The context of tool calling must support loading associated datasets with multiple fields, to ensure complete analysis dimensions.

How to set the configurations

The following configurations are formulated based on FastGPT v4.17.0.

Configuration ItemRecommended SettingRationale for This Setting
Workflow/API tool selectionAuto modeAdapt to the need for freely recognizing tools, matching scenarios where tools are automatically selected to handle production issues
Workflow/API function-call configurationEnable parameter format verificationEnsure that called interface parameters comply with the field specifications of injection molding data, avoiding invalid requests
Tool call trigger timingBind production event nodes (mold change, material change, end of shift)Match the node requirements of data updates and production processes for this category, ensuring data timeliness
Number of data items returned per single callTop 8Cover core fields of multi-source data, avoiding context overload that affects analysis efficiency
Call timeout threshold600 secondsAdapt to the actual delay range of injection molding process parameter retrieval, and can be adjusted based on actual measurements
Result output filteringOnly retain internal tool call fieldsControl that knowledge obtained by tools is not output to end users, matching the need for knowledge hiding

Three common mistakes

  • Symptom: Raw material data fields returned by tool calls are empty. Cause: The corresponding production event trigger for the call is not bound, and the retrieved raw material archive is not associated with the current batch’s resin identifier.
  • Symptom: Tool calls are continuously triggered by timers, generating invalid production data retrieval requests. Cause: The call is not bound to production event triggers, and a scheduled task is mistakenly used as the call trigger condition.
  • Symptom: Original document content obtained by tool calls is directly output to end users. Cause: The result output filtering configuration is not enabled, and the rule to only retain internal fields is not set.

How to confirm that configurations are properly set

  • Trigger a mold change event, check whether the tool call automatically retrieves the corresponding mold’s history data.
  • Initiate a defect analysis request, confirm that toolChoice automatically matches the three types of tools: raw material, equipment, and inspection.
  • View the return results of the tool call, confirm that only internal fields are retained, and original document content is not output to test users.
  • Simulate a delay scenario exceeding 600 seconds, confirm that the call triggers the timeout verification logic.
