Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A fabric winder uses a winding machine to uniformly roll up the fabric (gray fabric) woven on a loom, maintaining quality while supplying it to the next process. It is a manufacturing job.
Description
Fabric winders are responsible for the process of winding gray fabric produced by looms through machine operation. They adjust yarn tension, manage winding speed, perform machine inspections and maintenance, remove defects such as winding irregularities, wrinkles, and fraying, and shape it to the specified dimensions and form. The work mainly involves standing, and also includes changing rolls, packaging, and transportation using forklifts. Under team cooperation, they are required to ensure safety and health while improving production efficiency.
Future Outlook
While work efficiency improves due to advances in automation and mechanization, advanced machine maintenance skills and multi-skilling are required. Succession of skills and adaptation to labor-saving measures are challenges, but stable demand is expected.
