Proposal for Utilizing CAD: To Keep Up with i-Construction

The construction and civil engineering industry faces stricter laws and intense market competition! Innovation grounded in reality!

Since 2016, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism has been promoting "i-Construction" as an initiative to improve productivity across the entire construction production system and aim for attractive construction sites. It is undeniable that 2D drawings are still the mainstream in architecture, especially on-site. However, with the rapid advancement of 3D data utilization such as BIM modeling, there are increasing cases where traditional CAD cannot keep up. With 'BricsCAD', based on general 2D design data, the transition to 3D design can be advanced without financial strain. Furthermore, by using 3D data as a core, you can step up to cutting-edge industry initiatives such as BIM and VR. [Points for Extended Use of CAD Possible with BricsCAD] ■ High compatibility with AutoCAD ■ Conversion to JW and SXF ■ Support for point cloud data and rendering ■ Easy to start with BIM *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.

Efficiently utilizing 3D features to address challenges such as "streamlining design operations" and "labor shortages" required in the field of mechanical design! Here are some case studies of BricsCAD implementation.

Lecture Theme: The Recommendation of Various Relaxed 3D Genre: Mechanical Design Speaker: Masayuki Koma, Research and Development Department, Oshikiri Co., Ltd. In the field of mechanical design, 3D is being sought as a solution to challenges such as improving design efficiency and addressing labor shortages. On the other hand, many companies find it difficult to take the step towards adopting 3D CAD due to factors such as the need to move away from traditional 2D CAD operations and cost considerations. Oshikiri Co., Ltd. has implemented BricsCAD and is effectively utilizing its 3D features to address these challenges. We will introduce how they are achieving this during the presentation. Oshikiri's lecture is scheduled to be publicly available on November 24 (Thursday) around 15:40. The public viewing time is an estimate and may change depending on the progress of the day. *Currently, an archive is being distributed. Please apply for viewing through the related link.

As the number of CAD users increases, the burden of licensing costs and the expenses associated with 3D CAD in the efforts to transition to 3D, as well as the need for improved operational efficiency.

We have introduced BricsCAD to Takamiya Co., Ltd., which is engaged in the manufacturing, sales, and rental of temporary scaffolding. Originally, we were using a major 2D CAD software in Japan, but in recent years, with the increase in design workload, the staff has also grown. A few years ago, the licensing model for the same software switched to an annual contract, resulting in significant costs each year, which became a challenge. The technical department verified compatibility and usability with the free trial version and determined that there were no issues. With an eye on utilizing 3D features, we decided to implement the 2D-3D design .dwg compatible 'BricsCAD Pro'. In addition to reducing the burden of licensing costs compared to conventional CAD software, we achieved improved operational efficiency by utilizing customization features. [Challenges Before Implementation] ■ Licensing costs became an issue as the number of CAD users increased. ■ The cost burden of 3D CAD was also a bottleneck in our efforts to transition to 3D. ■ We wanted to reduce the workload of our in-house engineers. *For more details, please refer to the related catalog "BricsCAD Implementation Case Studies."

Contributing to the reduction of mistakes and losses in design operations, pursuing cost reduction and cost-effectiveness of existing electrical CAD, and utilizing design data for subsequent processes.

Introduction of the case study for the electrical and control design CAD system "ACAD-DENKI" Mitsuba Electric Industry Co., Ltd. faced two major challenges: 1. Improving the quality of manufacturing drawings raised by the manufacturing department during the production design process. 2. Issues related to licensing costs. By implementing our developed and sold electrical design CAD "ACAD-DENKI," they achieved a reduction in design man-hours and enabled the utilization of data for subsequent processes such as procurement and manufacturing. Through repeated proof-of-concept experiments leveraging the 3D capabilities of the base CAD, BricsCAD, further data integration is being advanced.

Japan is one of the top 10 countries in the world with frequent earthquakes. The 2020 White Paper on Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism has also reported an increase in the probability of major earthquakes occurring. Regarding the Nankai Trough earthquake, the probability of an earthquake with a magnitude of 8 to 9 occurring within the next 30 years is estimated to be 70 to 80%. At Hotron, we recommend the introduction of seismic devices for earthquake countermeasures in buildings and equipment. The seismic device 'HK-2' is a product that automatically performs various controls that have been pre-set when it detects strong shaking equivalent to a seismic intensity of 5 lower or higher. For example, it can automatically execute actions such as: "Open automatic doors and gates to secure evacuation routes and access for emergency vehicles" "Transmit signals to the control room and stop facility equipment" "Unlock the keys to locked lockers" "Automatically play voice guidance" For more details, please download the materials or contact us.

Do you have any concerns or requests regarding wired bed exit sensors? × Tangling or tripping over wired cables × Cable disconnection or damage × Worrying about forgetting to turn the switch back on after temporarily stopping the sensor. × Wanting to be notified of bed exits even from a location far from the nurse call outlet. Such concerns can be resolved simply by connecting our wireless nurse call linked set to the sensor! Our wireless nurse call linked set allows you to connect bed exit sensors like "Ugo-kun," "Foldable Thin Matta-kun," "Ayumi-chan," and "Just Place Pole-kun" to transmitters and receivers, reducing wiring around the bed area, alleviating concerns about tripping or falling due to cables, and contributing to a tidier work environment. Furthermore, it enables the use of bed exit sensors even from locations far from the nurse call outlet, allowing for more flexible equipment placement.

Kort Valuta has released a workplace initiative model that leverages points exchangeable for electronic money to support the adoption of safety and wellness habits. Examples include: ・Hydration reporting ・Viewing heatstroke prevention content ・Pre-shift condition checks ・Voice-based condition checks By linking these activities to incentive points, organizations can encourage voluntary participation while supporting workplace safety and employee well-being. The model is designed not only for frontline environments such as: ・Logistics ・Construction ・Manufacturing but also for office-based health and well-being programs. Safety posters and reminders alone are often not enough to drive lasting behavioral change. We hope this initiative provides a practical example for organizations seeking new approaches to workplace safety and employee engagement.
