Classification
Summary
Steel plate coiling workers shape steel plates that have completed the rolling process into uniform coils using a coiler and perform quality inspections.
Description
Steel plate coiling workers set hot or cold rolled steel plates that have passed through the rolling line into the coiler and wind them uniformly into coils at appropriate tension and speed. During coiling, they monitor tension and coil diameter, inspect the appearance and edge conditions while operating the coiler. After the operation, they attach identification labels to the coils and transport them to the next process using cranes or forklifts. They also perform daily inspections, simple maintenance, and initial responses to equipment issues. The work involves standing operations and handling heavy objects in the factory, requiring adherence to 5S and safety hygiene.
Future Outlook
Although steel industry production volumes are influenced by economic conditions, the introduction of labor-saving and automation equipment is progressing, and the demand for personnel with skills in manual quality control and equipment operation is expected to continue.
