Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Steel plate marking workers are a metal processing occupation that performs scribing (marking) on steel plates for product manufacturing and processing.
Description
Steel plate marking workers read manufacturing drawings and use tools such as scribing powder, scribing needles, and scribing rulers to accurately scribe lines indicating processing positions on steel plates. They use measuring instruments and transits to create necessary marks for subsequent processes like cutting, drilling, and welding, employing marking techniques suited to the material and thickness. They play an important role in factory operations, balancing precision and safety.
Future Outlook
With demand from construction and manufacturing industries, there is stable demand as a foundational process. Succession shortage due to aging artisans is an issue, and it is expected that efficiency will improve through the use of digital tools such as CAD.
