Fukui Computer Launches Development of New Construction Systems Centered on Digital Twin Services

Fukui Computer Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Sakai City, Fukui Prefecture; Representative Director and COO: Naoshi SUGITA) announces the initiation of development for a new suite of systems centered on digital twin services to accelerate digital transformation (DX) in the construction industry.

Background

The construction industry faces numerous societal challenges, including a declining working-age population, aging social infrastructure, and increasing responses to severe natural disasters.

In response, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT) announced "i-Construction 2.0" in April 2024, aiming to reduce on-site labor by at least 30% by fiscal year 2040. The ministry is promoting nationwide digitalization of the entire construction production process, including mandatory adoption of BIM/CIM and utilization of digital twins.

To date, our company has supported digitalization of construction operations primarily through locally installed PC applications. Moving forward, to lead the broader adoption and advancement of construction DX, we will focus on cloud-based and AI-powered digital twin services, developing a suite of highly compatible applications accessible across diverse devices such as PCs and smartphones.

Future Vision for Digital Twin Integration

We aim to integrate construction-related data and documents created across various applications into a unified virtual digital space in the cloud, enabling the reconstruction of high-precision construction site models. Based on these digital twin models, we will sequentially develop various services to drive operational transformation in the construction industry.

- Digitally Replicating the Physical World for Easy Sharing

Beyond integrating and displaying original design and as-built data from next-generation point cloud and 3D CAD systems, we will enable easy generation of point cloud and 3DGS (3D Gaussian Splatting) data from photos and videos captured by drones and 360-degree cameras.

The resulting large-volume data will be centralized in the cloud and shareable via a single URL. Even stakeholders without high-performance PCs can access site conditions through web browsers, perform measurements, and add annotations, supporting smooth remote consensus-building.

- Transforming Operations with AI to Reduce Manual Work

Construction-specific AI provided on the digital twin platform will streamline complex tasks previously reliant on manual labor.

Through automated analysis, simulation, and support for automatic 3D model generation from 2D drawings, we will significantly reduce engineers’ workloads, enabling them to focus on higher-level decision-making tasks.

- Seamless Scalability via XR and API Integration

3D models and simulation results in the digital space will be visualized using XR (AR/VR) technologies, enabling feedback into the physical world. We will propose new work styles, such as construction management and safety training that merge virtual and real environments.

Additionally, by publishing APIs, we will enable flexible integration with partner-provided XR devices and 3D scanning technologies, aiming to become a standard construction DX platform beyond our own product ecosystem.

Release Schedule

The new systems will be introduced in phases, with the first release in fiscal year 2026 including the following three core systems:

- New Digital Twin Service (Cloud Platform) - New Point Cloud System (Next-generation of current "TREND-POINT") - New 3D CAD System (Next-generation of current "TREND-CORE")

Planned Features

- Upload and display original data from the new point cloud and 3D CAD systems to the new digital twin service - Integrated visualization of point cloud/3DGS data and 3D models in the same space - Construction of integrated models that retain not only geometric data but also attribute and scene information - Real-time information sharing via measurement and annotation tools - Direct access from local applications to data centrally managed in the cloud - Implementation of AI-powered point cloud editing and cross-section tracing assistance in the next-generation point cloud system - Partial automation of 3D design data creation using AI in the next-generation 3D CAD system

First Release Timeline
