Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A profession that inspects the quality of manufactured fiber net products (such as fishing nets, protective nets, packaging nets, etc.) using visual inspection and measuring instruments to confirm compliance with specifications and quality standards.
Description
Net manufacturing inspectors ensure the quality of net products shipped from the production line by inspecting mesh shape, dimensions, strength, uniformity, etc. They use measuring tools such as calipers and tape measures, and sometimes tensile testing machines, to check for defects, damage, or out-of-spec areas, and sort out defective products. Inspection results are recorded and fed back to the manufacturing department as needed to contribute to quality improvement. Since it involves a lot of detailed work, high attention and concentration are required.
Future Outlook
Amid advances in automation and labor reduction in manufacturing, the introduction of automated inspection systems is increasing, but the demand for skilled inspectors who do not miss minute defects is expected to remain to a certain extent.
