Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Power machine inspectors specialize in inspecting and evaluating the performance and deterioration status of rotating machinery such as power generation equipment, pumps, and compressors using measuring instruments to ensure safety and reliability.
Description
Power machine inspectors specialize in inspections and checks to maintain and improve the operating condition of rotating power machinery in factories, plants, and power stations. They measure vibration, temperature, pressure, etc., on-site and compare measurement data with standard values to detect abnormalities. As needed, they conduct disassembly inspections or non-destructive testing, investigate the causes of damage or wear, and create reports. They collaborate with maintenance and operations departments, propose repair and replacement timings, and participate in planning periodic inspection schedules.
Future Outlook
With the automation of manufacturing and the spread of IoT technology, the demand for analysis of sensing data and predictive maintenance is increasing. The introduction of remote monitoring and AI-based diagnostic technologies is advancing, and the demand for specialized inspection technicians is expected to remain stable.
