Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Weaving equipment operators operate and manage looms, handling the production process of weaving gray fabric into cloth. They are responsible for everything from equipment setup to quality inspection, daily maintenance, and cleaning.
Description
Weaving equipment operators handle the manufacturing process in factories using looms (such as shuttle looms and high-speed shuttleless looms) to weave gray fabric into cloth. Before starting operations, they set up the gray fabric and yarn, and adjust tension. During operation, they monitor the machine's condition and any weaving defects. They perform quality inspections, make fine adjustments or stop the loom as necessary, and record data. They also handle regular maintenance, cleaning, and simple troubleshooting, maintaining stable operation based on production instructions.
Future Outlook
Although domestic production in the weaving industry is on a shrinking trend, with the advancement of factory automation and smart factories, there is stable demand for personnel skilled in machine monitoring, equipment maintenance, and data analysis, and opportunities are expected in high-value-added textile product manufacturing.
