Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Knit product inspectors ensure the quality of knit products by inspecting appearance, dimensions, and sewing conditions, and sorting out defective products.
Description
Knit product inspectors target mass-produced knit products, conducting appearance inspections, dimensional measurements, and checks on sewing conditions to maintain and manage product quality. Using manual work or inspection jigs, they detect defects such as uneven knitting, fraying, color unevenness, and stains, and remove non-standard products. They also record and report inspection results, provide feedback to the manufacturing department as needed to contribute to quality improvement, and appropriately update inspection procedures in response to changes in products or standards. This role requires attention to detail and stable task execution.
Future Outlook
While the introduction of AI inspection devices and image inspection systems is advancing automation, the need for manual final checks is expected to remain for the time being.
