Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
An industrial manual and machine-operated occupation that uses electric heating elements such as heater wires to weld and bond parts of plastic products together and assemble the products.
Description
Electrical adhesive workers use electrically heated wires or heater wires to melt plastic parts and perform joining and assembly. Operators combine machine operations with manual work, inspecting product dimensions and finishes visually and with measuring instruments while proceeding with the work at high precision. They are also responsible for daily equipment inspections and maintenance, preventing line stoppages while complying with safety standards. In manufacturing sites, teamwork is required, and participation in process improvements and quality control is expected.
Future Outlook
While some tasks will be mechanized due to advances in automation and robotics, skilled manual work will still be required for high-precision finishing and small-lot production. Demand associated with skill inheritance and equipment updates will remain stable.
