Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Occupation involving the manufacturing and assembly of wire harnesses used in transport equipment.
Description
Transport Equipment Wiring Harness Workers manufacture and assemble wire harnesses (wire bundles) used in transport equipment such as automobiles, railway vehicles, and construction machinery. Workers cut wires to appropriate lengths based on drawings and procedure manuals, strip the insulation to crimp and solder terminals, and bundle them with bundling bands or sleeves. After assembly, they conduct insulation, continuity, and appearance inspections to ensure quality. The work combines manual operations on production lines with machinery, requiring efficient and high-precision tasks.
Future Outlook
As automobiles become electrified and shift to EVs, harnesses are becoming more complex, while simple tasks are decreasing due to automation and robot introduction. Demand is increasing for workers skilled in high-precision manual work, equipment maintenance, and programming.
