Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A manufacturing job that operates looms to produce fabric. Involves setting up raw yarn, monitoring machine operation, performing quality checks, and adjusting machines.
Description
Weaver workers use looms (including handlooms and automatic looms) to weave raw yarn into warp and weft threads to produce fabric. They handle warping the warp yarn onto the machine, supplying weft yarn, adjusting tension, setting patterns, inspecting the fabric for defects during production, and monitoring machine operation. They adjust speed and pitch according to production plans and perform simple repairs and cleaning in the event of machine troubles.
Future Outlook
While the domestic textile industry is shrinking due to the transfer of production overseas, the demand for highly skilled weaver workers with advanced machine operation and quality management skills is expected to be maintained to some extent due to smart factory initiatives and the need for high-value-added textile production.
