On-site presence and quality control to visualize the site at any time - 'Visual Inspection Service'

basic information

In Japan's construction industry, due to labor shortages caused by a declining birthrate and an aging population, as well as significant reductions in the number of construction starts, there is an increasing need to promote digitalization. This issue is not only relevant to building construction but also affects the inspection and maintenance sectors for plants, large facilities, and equipment. The Japanese government has decided to promote "analog regulations" that restrict analog operations such as the use of paper and seal stamping, paper application documents, visual inspections on-site, and on-site resident work. As a result, digitalization in various field operations has become unavoidable. One of the themes put forth by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism is "remote presence." Remote presence refers to utilizing digital technologies such as cloud systems and wearable cameras to conduct presence from a distance without having to be physically on-site. The goal is to perform actions such as "on-site confirmation," "inspections," and "witnessing" remotely. Our provided system allows for pinpoint connections to the desired site for verification, enabling accurate recording of on-site quality.

Applications/Examples of results

**Case 1: New Construction Work** The site supervisor must manage many sites simultaneously. Additionally, the supervisor's duties are diverse, including customer interactions, contractor arrangements, and creating schedules. It would be ideal if the supervisor could directly check for issues on-site for critical work such as foundations, plumbing, and insulation. However, it is impossible for the site supervisor to check every detail of all the work, so they connect remotely with the craftsmen on-site to conduct inspections. By recording photos and checklists of each construction task in the cloud, quality records are maintained, which can be helpful for inquiries or troubleshooting after the work is completed. **Case 2: Equipment Inspection** In fire safety equipment inspections, certified inspectors are required to conduct the inspections as mandated by law. If there are deficiencies or unexpected failures in the equipment, an experienced inspector can predict the cause and determine the next steps based on past experiences. However, a less experienced new inspector may need to take the issue back and respond to the customer later. In such cases, remote connections can be made to experienced inspectors or office staff to consult on the equipment status and resolve issues immediately. Additionally, inspection records are maintained on floor plans, making it easier to report to customers and organize site information after returning to the office.
