2. Knlan New Fertilizer Branch has put into use an electronic weather station, empowering technology to build a strong safety production barrier

Recently, Knlan New Fertilizer Branch completed the installation and commissioning of the electronic weather station in the factory area and officially put it into use. This device can monitor multiple meteorological parameters such as temperature, humidity, wind speed, and direction in real time, providing accurate data support for production scheduling, equipment protection, and operational safety in the factory area, further enhancing the level of intelligent management of safety production.  

As a chemical production enterprise, its production operations are closely linked to meteorological conditions. Previously, the factory relied on publicly available data from surrounding meteorological stations or manual observations, which resulted in data lag and difficulty in accurately reflecting local microclimates. To solve this problem, the factory has installed an electronic weather station with real-time monitoring function based on actual needs. The meteorological station is located outside the central control room, equipped with high-precision sensors and data transmission modules, and can monitor continuously 24 hours a day. Wide temperature measurement range and high accuracy, capable of accurately capturing extreme temperature changes in winter and summer; Wind speed monitoring can display instantaneous and average wind speeds from 0 to 60m/s in real time, with wind direction monitoring accurate to 16 directions. It can also synchronously record data such as relative humidity and air pressure. All data is uploaded in real-time to the cloud platform through wireless transmission technology, and management personnel can view it at any time through mobile terminals.  

The use of electronic weather stations has provided scientific guidance for multiple production processes in the factory area. The meteorological data ledger built on equipment in the factory area can summarize microclimate patterns by analyzing historical data, providing a basis for seasonal production arrangements. This meteorological monitoring equipment will serve the entire production process and provide technological support for the safe and stable operation of the factory area.

3. Dongjin Fertilizer Packaging Workshop strengthens standardized management training and builds a solid foundation for efficient production

Recently, Dongjin Fertilizer Packaging Workshop organized a special work training, focusing on optimizing production processes and refining management standards, laying a solid foundation for efficient and orderly operation of the workshop.

The training focuses on explaining multiple core tasks. At the critical stage of packaging, emphasis is placed on the standardization of sealing operations - as the first checkpoint to ensure product quality, it must be rigorous, meticulous, and not overlooked. Regarding shift handover management, the training clearly requires the personnel taking over the shift to sign and confirm the handover content, and at the same time take the initiative to assume responsibility. When encountering problems, they should not shirk responsibility or be perfunctory, and should conduct in-depth analysis of the causes of the problems. The mechanism for promoting system troubleshooting work has also been further clarified in the training. Require all employees to participate in hazard investigation, with investigation coverage and problem rectification rate as core indicators, directly linked to individual and workshop performance evaluation. At the same time, workshop site cleaning and daily equipment cleaning have been included in the normalized management, combined with 5S management standards, focusing on creating a clean and orderly production environment. In response to violations and disciplinary actions, the training has issued a serious warning, emphasizing that the red line of the system cannot be crossed, and any violations have no room for defense and must be strictly dealt with in accordance with regulations.

This training strengthens management requirements from multiple dimensions such as discipline awareness, safety operation, and on-site hygiene, injecting new impetus into improving the quality and efficiency of the packaging workshop. In the future, the workshop will continue to promote the implementation of standards and help the production management level reach a new level.
