Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A manufacturing technician responsible for the production process of railway rails, involving rolling, forging, heat treatment, finishing processing, and inspection of steel materials.
Description
Railway rail manufacturing workers continuously roll steel billets (slabs) into rail shapes, followed by forging and heat treatment, while managing dimensions, hardness, and surface quality during finishing processes. They primarily operate rolling mills and forging machines, manage temperatures, and conduct quality inspections using dimensional measurement tools (micrometers, calipers, etc.). Safety and hygiene management within processes and machine maintenance are also important tasks, and they may analyze causes of quality defects and propose improvements.
Future Outlook
Demand for railway infrastructure remains stable, but labor shortages due to aging population are progressing. The adoption of AI and IoT for process optimization and quality control technologies will be key in the future.
