Drone inspections: Inspections other than statutory inspections are also possible! What is drone inspection?

Why not switch from traditional exterior wall inspections to drone inspections?

Drone inspections have been legally recognized as having the same level of accuracy as sounding rod surveys due to the revision of Article 12 of the Building Standards Act effective April 1, 2022. In traditional inspection methods, workers conducted inspections using sounding rods or took images of the exterior walls from the ground with infrared cameras and analyzed the images. However, these methods resulted in lengthy investigation periods and made it impossible to inspect high-rise areas. With drone inspections, it is possible to inspect high-rise areas using drones equipped with infrared cameras. Additionally, by converting inspection points into thermographic images to identify anomalies based on temperature differences, defects in high or narrow areas that were previously unobservable by human effort can now be detected. *For more detailed information or specific examples, please feel free to contact us.*

Would you consider switching from traditional probing rod surveys to drone inspections?

The inspection under Article 12 is mandated for owners and managers of specific buildings as defined by government ordinances and specific administrative agencies. Drone inspections were legally recognized with the amendment to Article 12 of the Building Standards Act on April 1, 2022. In traditional inspections using tapping rods, workers had to set up scaffolding and inspect the exterior walls with tapping rods, which incurred costs and extended inspection periods, as well as posed a risk of falling accidents. However, exterior wall inspections using drones do not require scaffolding or other equipment, as they utilize drones equipped with infrared cameras to inspect the walls, thereby reducing costs and allowing for shorter inspection periods. Additionally, since workers operate the drones from the ground, concerns about falling accidents are eliminated. *If you would like to know more details or specific examples, please feel free to contact us.*

Drone inspections have been legally recognized as having the same level of accuracy as sounding rod inspections due to the revision of Article 12 of the Building Standards Act effective April 1, 2022. Traditionally, inspections were conducted by workers using sounding rods or by photographing exterior walls with infrared cameras from the ground and analyzing the images. However, these methods resulted in lengthy investigation periods and made it impossible to inspect high-rise areas. With drone inspections, it is possible to inspect high-rise areas using drones equipped with infrared cameras. Additionally, by converting inspection points into thermographic images, it has become possible to identify abnormal areas based on temperature differences, allowing for the detection of defects in high or narrow spaces that were previously unobservable by human effort. (Features) - Capable of inspecting high-rise areas - Able to inspect without overlooking defect areas - No need for scaffolding or other equipment - Inspections can be completed in a short period - Reduction of fall accidents - Cost reduction For more detailed information or specific case studies, please feel free to contact us.

Would you consider switching from traditional probing rod surveys to drone inspections?

Drone inspections were legally recognized on April 1, 2022, due to the amendment of Article 12 of the Building Standards Act. The inspection method involves using a drone equipped with an infrared device to capture aerial images of the inspection target, measuring temperature differences on the tile surface with the infrared device, and detecting any lifted areas. Traditional inspections require two types of methods: tapping surveys and infrared surveys, both of which involve workers inspecting the exterior walls, resulting in longer time and higher costs. However, with drone inspections, the inspection is conducted by capturing aerial images of the target with a drone, eliminating the need for scaffolding and other equipment compared to traditional methods, thus reducing costs and time. (Features) - No need for scaffolding or other equipment - Cost reduction - Inspections can be completed in a short period *For more detailed information or specific examples, please feel free to contact us.

If you have the address and elevation drawing of the property to be inspected, we can provide an estimate! Costs can also be reduced to about half.

Miyaso Chemical Co., Ltd. conducts statutory inspections under Article 12 of the Building Standards Act using drones. Traditionally, inspections required scaffolding and the use of tapping rods, resulting in long inspection periods and high costs. However, inspections using drones significantly shorten the inspection period and reduce costs to about half. If it is difficult to conduct inspections solely with drones due to the proximity of neighboring buildings, we can propose inspections that combine traditional methods. We can provide estimates if you have the address and elevation drawings of the property to be inspected. Please feel free to consult us when needed. 【Features】 ■ Short inspection periods and costs reduced to about half ■ Ability to propose inspections that combine traditional methods ■ Estimates available with the address and elevation drawings of the property to be inspected *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

Are you struggling to explain "safety" to the client using just drawings? • The risks in blind spots are difficult to convey to the client through drawings alone. • Safety measures often become a target for cost reduction, making it hard to communicate their necessity. • There is a concern that the client might say, "It's more dangerous than I thought," after completion. Risks that are clear to design professionals are not easily understood intuitively by clients who are outside the field. This document is not just a simple explanation of sensor functions; it is a guide to visually explain "why sensors are necessary in those locations." It can be used directly as explanatory material for clients. Here are three key points for utilizing this document: 1. Visualization of Risks Blind spots during departure and contact risks within the site are illustrated clearly. 2. Clarification of Selection Criteria A comparison table outlines the differences between complex sensor types such as infrared, ultrasonic, and loop coils. 3. Diagram of System Configuration It illustrates not just the sensors alone, but how they are combined with rotating lights and control panels, providing practical assistance for electrical equipment design. Please make use of this to prevent "rework after completion" and "accident risks."

In facilities operating nurse call systems, we have made bed exit sensors wireless, allowing them to notify in conjunction with the nurse call system. By simply connecting the mat sensor "Foldable Thin Matt-kun," the body movement call "Ugo-kun," and the wheelchair body movement call "Ayumi-chan" to the transmitter HB-RS, you can make the bed exit sensor wireless. The infrared sensor "Just Place Pole-kun" has the transmitter HB-RS built-in. This helps prevent accidents caused by falls, slips, or wandering, contributing to the efficiency of medical operations. 【Features】 ○ Wireless conversion by simply connecting existing sensors to the transmitter HB-WSK. ○ Bed exit sensors notify wirelessly in conjunction with the nurse call system. ○ Up to 5 transmitters can be registered with one receiver. ○ The communication distance between the transmitter and receiver is approximately 10 meters. ◎ For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.
