Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A profession that manufactures knit fabrics and knitted materials by intertwining yarn, involving the operation of knitting machines, product finishing, and quality control.
Description
Net manufacturing workers use knitting machines or hand knitting to combine yarn and manufacture knit fabrics, clothing, and textile products. Tasks mainly include preparing the knitting machine (setting yarn, programming patterns), operating the machine (adjusting speed and tension), manufacturing fabric, finishing (cutting excess yarn, inspection), and simple machine maintenance (cleaning and lubrication). They are required to set machines according to product specifications and quality standards, and have inspection skills to prevent defects. They also need to understand yarn types and fiber characteristics and select optimal knitting conditions.
Future Outlook
While Japan's domestic textile industry is affected by overseas relocation, demand for skilled technicians is expected to be maintained to a certain extent due to high-value-added products and the introduction of automation technologies.
