Baotou launches work, output resumption data system

Baotou city -- in North China's Inner Mongolia autonomous region -- launched a statistical system for the resumption of production by industrial businesses on Feb 21, marking new progress in the prevention and control of the novel coronavirus pneumonia outbreak, according to a report in the Baotou Daily.

Officials said the new system is the first of its kind in the autonomous region.

It integrates the eight administrative forms industrial enterprises had to fill out each day previously -- eliminating duplicate statistics and data dispersion of the businesses in Baotou city and greatly reducing the burden on grassroots staff.

The system classifies statistics and updates information on a daily basis, including the status of the companies' resumption of work, the time of resumption of work and the travels of employees.

After being examined and confirmed by the municipal, banner, county and district governments, an overall big data picture for industrial enterprises resuming work and production will be formed.

At present, the relevant data covers 413 industrial enterprises above a designated scale -- the statistical term referring to industrial companies with annual revenue of 20 million yuan ($2.85 million) or more -- and 1,413 enterprises below the designated scale.

In addition, the system supports real-time viewing of resumption data of industrial enterprises on mobile phones.
