Every task, and what AI can do with it

These are O*NET's task statements for this occupation, exactly as written, sorted into the three bands by the ratings behind this report. Nothing has been reworded.

Cannot be sped up

17
  • Align and position materials being joined to ensure accurate application of adhesive or heat sealing
  • Adjust machine components according to specifications such as widths, lengths, and thickness of materials and amounts of glue, cement, or adhesive required
  • Monitor machine operations to detect malfunctions and report or resolve problems
  • Start machines, and turn valves or move controls to feed, admit, apply, or transfer materials and adhesives, and to adjust temperature, pressure, and time settings
  • Fill machines with glue, cement, or adhesives
  • Perform test production runs and make adjustments as necessary to ensure that completed products meet standards and specifications
  • Examine and measure completed materials or products to verify conformance to specifications, using measuring devices such as tape measures, gauges, or calipers
  • Read work orders and communicate with coworkers to determine machine and equipment settings and adjustments and supply and product specifications
  • Remove and stack completed materials or products, and restock materials to be joined
  • Observe gauges, meters, and control panels to obtain information about equipment temperatures and pressures, or the speed of feeders or conveyors
  • Maintain production records such as quantities, dimensions, and thicknesses of materials processed
  • Remove jammed materials from machines and readjust components as necessary to resume normal operations
  • Mount or load material such as paper, plastic, wood, or rubber in feeding mechanisms of cementing or gluing machines
  • Transport materials, supplies, and finished products between storage and work areas, using forklifts
  • Clean and maintain gluing and cementing machines, using solutions, lubricants, brushes, and scrapers
  • Measure and mix ingredients to prepare glue
  • Depress pedals to lower electrodes that heat and seal edges of material
What this does not say

This is not a prediction about your job

Nobody surveyed an employer. Tasks are counted equally, so a percentage here is a share of the list rather than a share of your week. And the ratings were made in 2023, which makes every figure a floor rather than a ceiling.

It must never be used to select anyone for redundancy. The full limits are here.

Where to go next

This is the standard task list for the title. The useful next question is which of the tasks you actually do should go near AI, and which should not.
