Smart City & Location Intelligence

Urban development faces numerous challenges, including corporate issues,

such as adapting to work style reform and ensuring safe and secure working environments, as well as societal issues such as labor shortages, aging urban infrastructure, and the increasing severity of natural disasters. To realize safe, secure, and comfortable lifestyles with consideration for the global environment, we partner with those involved in urban development and leverage digital technologies to drive digital transformation (DX).

Our Strengths

Construction Tech

By applying the ICT technologies that we have cultivated over the years, such as high-precision position measurement, image recognition, and AI, we support the improvement of safety and productivity in the field from four perspectives: project management, drawing management, inspection and monitoring, and health and safety.
Our construction technology solves a variety of problems faced in the field, such as the aging of skilled workers, labor shortages, and the resulting long working hours and occupational accidents.

Smart Buildings

In order to improve convenience and comfort for building owners, managers, and users, as well as to add value to buildings, there is a growing need for smart buildings that incorporate technologies like IoT to support the digitalization of building facilities.
We provide consistent support from the construction phase to the operation phase, enabling quick and flexible responses to various requests from users in the building environment.

Disaster Prevention & Facility Maintenance

Using maps, BIM for buildings and facilities, point cloud data, and other resources, we build digital twins that reproduce cities, social infrastructure, and facilities in buildings in virtual space.
These technologies can be used to inspect facilities and other equipment to improve operational efficiency, ensure worker safety, and reduce the risk of delays, thereby realizing DX for disaster prevention and facility maintenance tasks.

Solution

Leveraging Generative AI to Streamline Daily Operations in the Construction Industry

Based on data accumulated from construction sites and internal operations, we use generative AI to enhance productivity and reduce labor requirements. We convert documents, drawings, and other data into vector databases and support clients through consulting services to structure and integrate their unique data.
We can also develop functions to efficiently search for specification documents and technical documents, as well as to generate reports.

Use Case
  • Kitano Construction Corp.: Construction

Support for Business Continuity Planning using Weather and Disaster Information

With the recent increase in weather-related disasters, business continuity planning (BCP) now requires efficient decision-making and risk mitigation.

By combining weather, disaster, and geographic information, we can visualize conditions during a disaster and its impact on a company’s assets and supply chain, contributing to a quick initial response.

Use Case
  • NTT Docomo, Inc.: Information and communications
  • Suzuki Motor Corporation: Manufacturing

Supporting Management by Linking Site Information to Spaces and Equipment

By managing on-site information associated with spaces and equipment, we deliver information to workers in the most suitable format through integration with generative AI and the metaverse. We are engaged in cutting-edge co-creation initiatives in the field of next-generation facility management and as a guide for facility operations.

Use Case
  • Building management services, plant construction and operations

Supporting Preventive Maintenance and Progress Management for Large-Scale Plants

Managing scheduled maintenance for large-scale plants in the cloud enables optimized scheduling and the reduction of total costs. This eliminates dependence on an individual’s knowledge in planning and supports the development of plans by accumulating and utilizing past performance data.

Use Case
