The standardized operation by personnel serves as the "human defense line" for the stable operation of cold storage units, directly impacting equipment lifespan and operational efficiency. Many cold storage facilities suffer from non-standardized operation issues, such as untrained personnel or frequent start-stop cycling of the units. While these may seem like minor oversights in daily operations, they can escalate minor faults into downtime incidents, accelerate wear on core components, and cause operational and maintenance costs to soar.

       Lack of professional training is a major factor in fault escalation. Personnel who have not received systematic training are unfamiliar with the working principles of the equipment and emergency response procedures. When encountering minor faults, they may fail to take timely and effective measures, missing the optimal window for intervention and allowing small issues to develop into full-blown downtime incidents. Prolonged downtime not only leads to spoilage of stored goods due to uncontrolled temperature and humidity but also increases the difficulty and cost of repairs.

        Frequent start-stop cycling severely damages core components. Core components of cold storage units, such as compressors, have specific operational rhythms. Frequent start-stop cycles subject these components to repeated pressure impacts and temperature fluctuations, accelerating wear and shortening their lifespan. Additionally, frequent start-stop cycling causes repeated inrush currents during startup, increasing the risk of electrical system failures and further compromising the operational stability of the cold storage facility.

         Standardized operation requires two key lines of defense: First, personnel must undergo professional training before taking up their roles, mastering equipment operation procedures, daily inspection points, and emergency response methods for faults. Only those who pass the assessment should be allowed to operate the equipment. Second, strict adherence to operational norms is essential. Unnecessary frequent start-stop cycling should be avoided, and operational parameters should be scientifically set based on the storage requirements of the goods and the operational status of the equipment.

         In cold storage operations, "thirty percent depends on equipment, seventy percent on operation." Standardized operation is not an additional constraint but a crucial factor in reducing losses. Investing in professional training and establishing standardized operation procedures may seem to add operational steps initially. However, doing so effectively prevents downtime incidents, extends equipment lifespan, reduces long-term operational, maintenance, and product loss costs, and ensures the stable and efficient operation of cold storage facilities.
