Functional safety at production sites is becoming a priority condition. This is especially true for the engineering and oil and gas sectors. This is necessary to ensure the safe operation of all systems, processes and devices, even in the event of failures, failures and other undesirable cases.Atyrau company KMG Automation, which was the first in Kazakhstan to start producing pressure transducers, last year received the international certificate of functional safety SIL2. It cost the company almost 3.5 million tenge. Half of the cost of the service for confirming compliance with this level of security was reimbursed by QazIndustry."Security is very important to us. Having an international SIL2 certificate minimizes risks to employees and the environment. We were pleasantly surprised when we learned that the Kazakhstan Center for Industry and Export reimburses this type of cost, and in the amount of 50 percent. This is an excellent example of how the state supports companies that strive to improve their production processes and increase safety," said Bakhytkyz Tilesova, an engineer for certification and metrology.The SIL class safety certificate is mandatory for industrial enterprises where system failures or equipment failures can lead to catastrophic consequences for the environment, loss of life and significant damage. There are four levels of security completeness: SIL1, SIL2, SIL3, SIL4, where SIL1 is the lowest level and SIL4, respectively, the highest.SIL2 is issued for a specific equipment model. The use of SIL2 equipment reduces the risk of fire-related emergencies and increases the fire safety of the facility by at least 100 times.KMG Automation was established in 2015 on the basis of the Invensys industrial brand by the national company KazMunayGas together with Schneider Electric in order to develop local content in the domestic oil and gas segment. KMGA develops projects on automation and digitalization of technological processes for this sector.In December 2018, the company launched a workshop for the production of pressure transducers using the technology of the American Foxboro plant. This is the country's first site for the production of such sensors. They allow measurements of pressure, level and flow of any medium in various industrial and climatic conditions. The technology used at KMGA belongs to the well-known global company Schneider Electric, and the Kazakhstan assembly line is the fourth joint production of Schneider Electric in the world.Kazakhstani converters are fully certified and included in the national register of approved types of measuring instruments."In six years, we have produced and sold more than four thousand converters, for which we have not received a single complaint (claim of the buyer or customer regarding the quality of the product. - Approx.). In 2023, they received the international certificate of functional safety SIL2. This allows not only to minimize risks, but also to strengthen the company's image in front of customers," the company concluded.Full information on the measure of state incentives in the form of reimbursement of costs incurred in confirming the compliance of products and quality management systems with certain requirements can be found at the link https://qazindustry.gov.kz/ru/business_support .Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mps/press/news/details/883047

"This year, together with the Kazakhstan Khalkyna Public Foundation, we have launched pilot projects "Needs assessment and selection of TSR" and "Rehabilitation of children with disabilities at home." Within the framework of these projects, children with disabilities are provided with innovative TSR for rehabilitation activities at home. In a short period of time, parents of children and specialists have noted positive dynamics: someone has learned to stand, someone is sitting confidently. I hope that these projects will be successfully implemented and further scaled up in all regions of the country," Svetlana Zhakupova said.In turn, Deputy Director General of the National Scientific Center for the Development of the Sphere of Social Protection of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Chairman of the Board of the Association of Rehabilitologists and Balneologists Sholpan Bulekbayeva spoke in detail about these pilot projects."The main objectives of the projects are: compliance with the principle of individuality and the selection of the right TSR; providing children with disabilities with high-quality, effective, safe and scientifically based TSR aimed at improving the quality of life of children with disabilities; the introduction of technologies that provide children with disabilities with independent living skills, including career guidance, the organization of accompanied day employment.To date, 73 children are engaged in individually selected technical means of rehabilitation.
