INTERVIEW – Techinical Dept. – Kansai Wire Netting Co., Ltd.

The high level of social contribution is rewarding.
I want to improve my skills as a technical officer.

Kansai Wire Netting is responsible not only for design and drafting but also for research and development.

I am currently in charge of three major tasks. The first is the design and drafting of conveyor belts, which design and drawing optimal belts according to customer needs and issues, and hand them over to factories and cooperating companies that manufacture them. Next, in the inspection and construction of conveyor belts, we inspect the belts and main parts used by customers, and repair and replace parts as necessary. Finally, we are conducting research and development to enhance the value of our products by developing lighter and longer-lasting conveyor belts using 3DCAD.
Conveyor belts are not first seen in everyday life, but products manufactured using conveyor belts are only familiar to our lives. In addition, since there are many major and well-known companies, I think that the unique charm of this job is that you can feel the high level of social contribution. Also, when you go to the site where conveyor belts are active, you can see the process of creating various products, and seeing them is one of the pleasures of work.

We value communication with our customers more difficult times.

I was studying chemistry at university and wanted to get a technical job, but I thought it would be good to have a job that can reflect it in manufacturing while communicating with customers, rather than just research, and decided to join Kansai Wire Netting to join the company because I knew that it would be possible. It was still an impressive job, and I had to replace a large belt that I had never handled before, so I struggled with the amount of work, but I remember well that I managed to finish while consulting with customers and sales representatives. I think we will continue to encounter difficult tasks in the future, but at that time we value communication with our customers and work together to solve issues.
In addition, in order to improve my skills as a technical officer, I would like to deepen my knowledge of 3DCAD and structural analysis programs used in research and development. And eventually, I would like to develop a conveyor belt like never before with my own hands.

Even though my expertise is different, learning from my school days is useful for my work.

I was a major in chemistry when I was a student, and I have never specialized in fields such as machinery and physics that I am currently working on. However, for example, how to use spreadsheet software to compile experimental data, how to create sentences that were well instructed when writing papers, and mathematical knowledge when requiring highly difficult calculations, are useful for my current job. There are many points that are useful, and I feel good to study hard. In addition, some of our customers are chemical companies, and it is very helpful to be able to communicate smoothly because of our basic knowledge.

Message from Seniors

Technical Section Manager A.T.　Joined Company in 1994

People who have a solid foundation and are expected to be liked by everyone.

Perhaps because you learned well at university, it is good that you have a foundation and understand your intentions without having to explain your thoughts and attitude as an engineer too deeply. Also, if you have any questions or concerns, you will be asked immediately, so I feel that it is good to be able to confirm the contents and share knowledge smoothly. In the case of a technical job, it is necessary to respond to customers and sales regardless of seniors and juniors, but Y.Y. is a good person and everyone likes it, so I hope you will grow while cherishing your current feelings in the future.
