Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Zempin manufacturing workers produce small metal pins (Zempin) used in furniture and fixtures through processing steps such as cutting, grinding, and assembly.
Description
Zempin manufacturing workers cut raw metal rod material, perform lathe machining and grinding, and manufacture Zempin while precisely managing dimensional tolerances. Manufacturing requires inspection using dimensional measuring instruments (micrometer, caliper). In some cases, heat treatment or surface treatment is applied to improve wear resistance and hardness. They operate production lines or equipment for small-lot production and participate in improvement activities to increase manufacturing efficiency and reduce defects.
Future Outlook
While automation and labor reduction in manufacturing advance, demand for precision parts remains stable, and the need for highly skilled workers is expected to increase with the introduction of IoT and smart factories.
