Summary
Manufacturing operator who cuts, sews, and finishes pillowcases (pillow covers) from textile materials to complete them as products.
Description
Pillowcase manufacturing workers handle all aspects of pillowcase (pillow cover) production on the factory production line. First, they cut the fabric to match the product shape, then operate sewing machines to stitch it together. After sewing, they inspect the finish quality, using visual checks or measuring instruments to confirm there are no misalignments in seams or dimensions. If issues are found, they make adjustments or re-sew. Finally, they fold the product and package it. To improve production efficiency, they may also propose improvements to work procedures or perform simple maintenance on equipment. They are required to meet the specified production quantities based on production plans.
Future Outlook
While the domestic textile industry is in a shrinking trend, labor-saving and automation technologies are being introduced, and in the future, skills in machine operation and automated quality management will be emphasized.
