Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Jersey fabric inspectors visually inspect and use measuring instruments to check the appearance, dimensions, and quality of knit fabrics (jersey products), identifying, removing, and recording products that do not meet standards.
Description
Jersey fabric inspectors unfold knitted knit fabrics and use visual inspection, loupes, and lighting equipment to detect defects such as needle holes, knitting irregularities, dirt, and color unevenness. They also measure dimensions using calipers and rulers to confirm the specified width, length, and weight. Defective products are marked and removed, and inspection results are recorded. In some cases, feedback is provided to the dyeing or knitting processes to contribute to quality improvement. The job involves a lot of standing work and repetitive motions, requiring concentration and physical stamina.
Future Outlook
While the textile industry is advancing with the introduction of automated inspection technology, the role of skilled visual inspectors who can detect minute defects remains essential.
