"If at least one person comes
out..."
COVID-19 is a thorn in the manufacturing industry’s side
"Due to the nature of the
manufacturing industry, it's hard to work from home and the factory is
closed"
Manufacturing companies respond by
installing disinfection machines and eating alternately
The
Daegu manufacturing industry is working hard to prevent the spread of COVID-19 at
the production site.
Due to the nature of the manufacturing industry, working
from home is not easy and the factory is hit hard when closed,
so companies are
coming up with various measures such as installing disinfection machines and
changing their working methods.
At
STI Co., Ltd., which makes fiber optical preform equipment in Dalseong-gun,
Daegu,
there is a rare scene in which about 100 employees line up in front of a
machine during rush hour.
STI
converted the product, which had been developed as an African swine fever
prevention equipment,
into an interpersonal sterilizer and installed it at the
entrance of the company since the 24th of last month.
When a person opens the
door to the container-type personal sterilizer and enters, there is a notice,
"Start disinfection,"
and the internal temperature soared to 75-80
degrees Celsius. The disinfection time per employee is about 30 seconds.
An
STI official said, "As COVID-19 is known to be very vulnerable to
high-temperature drying, it is disinfected by high-temperature drying methods.
"The disinfection does not take a long time and is effective, so employees
have a high preference,".
The
manufacturing industry, which has a production site, is hit hard by the closure
of the entire factory if even one person is confirmed.
From the company's point
of view, it is more comfortable to let employees work from home, but it is
impossible due to the nature of the production job.
