Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A manufacturing worker who processes metal wire to mass-produce hairpins.
Description
Hairpin manufacturing workers process raw metal wire using press machines or bending machines to form the shape of hairpins. After processing, they perform deburring and polishing, and apply surface treatments or plating to improve quality. Products undergo dimensional inspection and appearance inspection before being packaged and shipped. The work centers on line operations, requiring the skills and physical stamina to produce products quickly and accurately while following established procedures.
Future Outlook
While some tasks will be automated due to automation and robot introduction, manual labor remains necessary for fine processing and quality control. There is a risk of production bases moving overseas, but domestic production is expected to continue for high-value-added products.
