Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Textile inspectors visually inspect and use measuring instruments to check fabrics woven on looms, detect defects and faults, and perform quality control.
Description
Textile inspectors use visual inspection and dedicated inspection tables and measuring instruments to check the surface dirt, color unevenness, tears, dimensions, and other quality aspects of fabrics produced on looms. They record the types and locations of defects and make pass/fail judgments based on specified quality standards. After inspection, they sort good and defective products, issue instructions for reprocessing defective areas, and provide feedback to the production process. The work is mainly standing on the factory production line, requiring concentration and attention.
Future Outlook
Although the domestic textile industry is shrinking in scale, the demand for personnel with specialized inspection skills is expected to be maintained at a certain level due to the need for quality control of high-function and high-value-added products.
