Description
Sorting Inspectors (Textile Manufacturing) inspect fabrics and textile products produced in textile factories using visual checks or inspection equipment to confirm the presence of defects. Inspection methods include transmitted light inspection, inspection by passing through machines, and detailed inspection using magnifying glasses.
