For example, installing automatic control systems and emergency shutdown devices can improve production safety. <\/p>\n Automated control can improve the stability and efficiency of the production process. It mainly includes automatic adjustment of reaction conditions, online monitoring and fault diagnosis, etc. <\/p>\n 4.2.1 Automatic adjustment of reaction conditions<\/strong><\/p>\n By automatically adjusting reaction conditions, the stability and consistency of the reaction process can be maintained. For example, a PID controller can be used to automatically adjust reaction temperature and pressure. <\/p>\n 4.2.2 Online Monitoring<\/strong><\/p>\n By online monitoring of key parameters during the reaction process, production problems can be discovered and solved in a timely manner. For example, online chromatography can be used to monitor the composition and purity of reaction products in real time. <\/p>\n 4.2.3 Troubleshooting<\/strong><\/p>\n Through the fault diagnosis system, faults in production can be quickly located and solved, reducing downtime and maintenance costs. For example, intelligent diagnostic systems can be used to automatically identify and eliminate faults. <\/p>\n 5.1.1 Procurement Strategy<\/strong><\/p>\n Through reasonable procurement strategies, the cost of raw materials can be reduced. For example, the use of centralized procurement and long-term contracts can reduce procurement costs. <\/p>\n 5.1.2 Inventory Management<\/strong><\/p>\n By optimizing inventory management, you can reduce the waste of raw materials and tied up funds. For example, the use of advanced inventory management systems can achieve refined management. <\/p>\n 5.2.1 Energy Management<\/strong><\/p>\n By optimizing energy management, energy consumption in the production process can be reduced.
