Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Harness manufacturers cut wires to specified lengths, perform terminal crimping, connector assembly, insulation processing, inspection, etc., to produce wiring harnesses for automobiles and electronic devices.
Description
Harness manufacturers specialize in wire processing and assembly on production lines, cutting wires to specified dimensions according to design drawings or work instructions, stripping the sheath, and attaching terminals or connectors using crimping machines or soldering irons. They conduct inspection processes using testers to verify continuity and insulation of products, striving to eliminate defects and maintain quality. They also engage in tool adjustments, maintenance, and work environment improvements (5S, Kaizen) to enhance production efficiency and reduce defects. In recent years, with the introduction of automated equipment, basic knowledge of machine operation and programming is also required.
Future Outlook
With the electrification of automobiles and the increasing functionality of electronic devices, demand for high-precision harness manufacturing is expected to remain steady. On the other hand, as production lines become more automated and robotic, technicians with machine setup, maintenance, and programming skills will be increasingly valued.
