According to China Petroleum Network (Reporter: Meng Jianhong; Correspondent: Wu Wenbin), “Previously, when checking fire extinguishers, it was necessary to use paper records for verification, which was time-consuming and prone to errors in documentation. Now, by scanning a QR code with a smartphone, the information about the equipment and the results of inspections are immediately visible. The data submitted can also be synced to the backend in real time, making the process much more efficient than before!” ”On November 19, Yang Gang, a safety inspector at Kunlun Logistics, expressed great admiration for the company’s newly implemented QR code inspection system for forage, after completing his inspection of fire extinguishers in the office area. Fire safety is no trivial matter; as a key device for extinguishing fires in their early stages, the effectiveness of fire extinguishers is directly related to the safety of people and property. In the past, the inspection of fire extinguishers at Kunlun Logistics relied mainly on manual recording, and numerous problems arose through long-term practice: paper records were not updated in a timely manner, making it difficult to reflect the status of the equipment in real time ； There is a lack of effective tracking of inspection routes, which makes it difficult to ensure proper accountability ； The process for addressing potential hazards is complicated, posing risks of delays and omissions ； Human negligence leads to \"missed detections\" and \"incorrect detections,\" creating potential hazards for fire safety. To address the shortcomings of traditional inspection methods and further improve the precision of fire safety management, Kunlun Logistics conducted extensive research and comparisons before deciding to adopt QR code technology for forage in order to create a digital inspection platform. During the implementation of the system, the company assigned specialized personnel to conduct a thorough inspection of fire extinguishers in key areas such as office spaces, warehouses, and construction sites across various locations. They recorded detailed information on each device, including its model and specifications, date of production, location, and the person responsible for it. A unique QR code, serving as an “electronic ID,” is generated for each fire extinguisher, and it is displayed in a visible location on the device, thereby achieving the principle of \"one item, one code\" with a secure linkage between the item and its code. This measure has completely resolved the previous problems associated with paper-based records, such as the difficulty in retrieving information and the hassle of making changes. Inspectors and managers can simply scan a QR code using their smartphones to access information related to the entire lifecycle of fire extinguishers at any time, thereby enabling more transparent and convenient equipment management. Today, the inspection of fire extinguishers follows a standardized digital process that involves \"scanning a code—checking—filling out forms—submitting\". Upon arrival at the site, the inspector scans the QR code, which triggers the system to display an automatic checklist of inspection tasks; this checklist specifies requirements such as checking whether the pressure of the fire extinguisher is normal, whether the seal on the container is intact, and whether the nozzle is unobstructed. Inspection personnel check each item against the list, and upload real-time updates of the site conditions in the form of text, images, or short videos. If safety hazards are detected, they can mark the corresponding items as “requiring rectification” within the system; the relevant information is then sent to the responsible persons, thus creating a closed-loop management process of “discovery—reporting—rectification—feedback”. “The application of the forage QR code inspection system has not only significantly improved the digital level of fire extinguisher management but also facilitated a shift in the company’s fire safety management from ‘reactive response’ to ‘proactive prevention’. ”Wang Yuan, head of the Quality, Health, Safety, and Environment Department at Kunlun Logistics Company, said, “Through digital tools, every inspection leaves a trace, and each fire extinguisher is assigned to a specific person in charge. This not only enhances the sense of responsibility among those who carry out inspections and helps to avoid errors resulting from manual operations, but it also makes the fire safety management process more standardized and transparent, thereby providing a solid technical foundation for safe production.” ”
