Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Wire manufacturing workers apply coverings to conductor wires such as copper or aluminum wires, perform stranding and forming processes to manufacture electric wires and cables.
Description
Wire manufacturing workers use copper or aluminum wires as raw materials, draw them into wire rods using wire drawing machines, and process them to the appropriate thickness. Next, they use extruders to apply insulating materials such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or polyethylene to create single wires, stranded wires, flat cables, and other shapes. The manufactured products undergo quality inspections for dimensions, insulation withstand voltage, electrical conductivity, and other factors, then are wound onto reels and packaged. They handle machine operations, maintenance, and adjustments on the production line, working efficiently while complying with safety and health standards.
Future Outlook
Due to steady energy demand and the spread of electric vehicles, demand for electric wires and cables remains stable. Automation and labor-saving in manufacturing processes, along with IoT and smart factory advancements, are progressing, placing emphasis on skills in equipment maintenance and data utilization rather than just machine operation.
