Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Fabric splicing workers join undyed fabric (raw fabric) and handle everything from feeding it into the dyeing machine to adjustments and operation management as specialized production workers.
Description
Fabric splicing workers are responsible for pre-treatment processes in dyeing operations. First, they join raw fabric (undyed fabric) using a splicer and adjust it to the specified length. Next, they operate the dyeing machine while adjusting dye concentration and temperature, constantly monitoring the operation to prevent color unevenness and defects. After the process, they conduct quality inspections and perform reprocessing or detailed checks as needed. Knowledge of safety, hygiene, and machine maintenance is also required.
Future Outlook
With the overseas shift of the textile industry and the advancement of automation, the number of domestic workers is decreasing. In the future, automatic splicers and automatic dyeing machines will become widespread, but skilled workers' techniques will still be required for high-quality products.
