- FY2026AdvancedAnnual report
「To improve concrete quality, we applied an MR-based concrete-compaction management system at multiple worksites.」
For MR-based concrete-compaction management, the company disclosed application at multiple worksites, following field application in the previous fiscal year. The use of ICT, including drones, quadruped robots and remote support, also continues. - FY2025AdvancedAnnual report
「To improve concrete quality, we applied an MR-based concrete-compaction management system at worksites.」
The initiative progressed from conventional trials and research and development to field application of an MR-based concrete-compaction management system. The use of ICT, including drones, quadruped robots and remote support, also continues. - FY2024AdvancedAnnual report
「In FY2023, we continued trials and research and development at worksites using ICT. To improve productivity, we worked on reducing the workload involved in construction management through site-inspection drones and quadruped robots, provided technical guidance on safety checks during work, and provided remote support from the technical research institute for CFT press-fitting construction management.」
Trials and research and development using ICT continue and have expanded to include drones, quadruped robots, remote support and MR-based compaction management. - FY2023AdvancedAnnual report
「As a technology for improving quality, we demonstrated management of compaction time at each planar location through joint development of concrete-compaction management technology using MR (mixed reality) to improve concrete quality.」
The initiative progressed from the previous year's ICT trials and research and development to demonstrating MR-based management of concrete compaction time. Participation in the Construction RX Consortium also continues. - FY2022AdvancedAnnual report
「As a technology for improving quality, we began joint development of concrete-compaction management technology using MR (mixed reality) to improve concrete quality. We also joined the Construction RX Consortium, a joint venture formed by construction companies, partner companies and supporting companies to promote RX (robotics transformation) involving the development and use of robots and IoT applications for construction work.」
The scope of initiatives has expanded beyond conventional drones and remote support to include the launch of joint development of MR-based compaction management and participation in the Construction RX Consortium. - FY2021AdvancedAnnual report
「In FY2020, we conducted trials and research and development at worksites using ICT. To improve productivity, we worked on reducing the workload involved in construction management through site-inspection drones, providing remote support for CFT press-fitting construction management, trialling remote inspections of reinforcement, reducing the workload involved in as-built measurements of PC bridges using drones, and conducting research on productivity improvements through collaboration with construction-support robots.」
Building on the previous year's research into wireless LAN positioning and 5G, the company has expanded its ICT trials and research and development to include drones, remote support, remote inspections and construction-support robots. - FY2020First statedAnnual report
「In FY2019, we conducted research to improve construction efficiency by quickly identifying the locations of aerial work platforms using an indoor wireless LAN positioning system. We also built a real-time pipe-cooling control system to suppress mass-concrete cracking in bridges, thereby reducing the workload involved in construction management. In addition, we conducted research to detect the use of safety harnesses through participation in a cross-industry 5G communications technology working group, and pursued research and development using various ICT technologies to improve productivity and quality through construction management and to enhance the efficiency of safety management.」
Specific research and development using ICT is being conducted to improve construction efficiency, quality and safety management, including wireless LAN positioning, real-time cooling control and 5G-based detection of safety harness use.
