ANDPAD Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Takeo Inada; hereinafter "ANDPAD"), which operates the cloud-based construction project management service "ANDPAD," announced the launch of "ANDPAD Knowledge AI powered by Stellarc" as a core product of "ANDPAD Stellarc," an AI project specialized for the construction industry.
■ Background
Amidst the ongoing severe labor shortage in the construction industry, large-scale projects are being halted and public works are being canceled one after another, indicating that the lack of skilled workers is already impacting social infrastructure and daily life. In addition, the know-how of skilled engineers is often personalized, making technology transfer to younger generations a major challenge.
On the other hand, there are barriers to introducing generative AI, such as "cumbersome registration of in-house data," "security concerns," and "difficulty in on-site adoption." Information related to construction, in particular, is highly specialized, with vast amounts of documents, drawings, and photographs scattered in various locations, requiring significant time for searching.
In response to these challenges, ANDPAD has developed "ANDPAD Knowledge AI powered by Stellarc" as an AI solution that can understand highly specialized information unique to the construction industry, leveraging data accumulated within their own ANDPAD environment, and enabling its safe and easy utilization.
■ Features
"ANDPAD Knowledge AI" supports the creation of a system that can instantly answer on-site questions by combining specialized knowledge unique to the construction industry with proprietary data accumulated by each company within ANDPAD.
Integration with ANDPAD Project Information
It directly references and answers questions based on information accumulated in ANDPAD, such as drawings, construction plans, and past similar projects.
Interpretation and Search of Image Data such as Drawings and Scanned Data
Through its unique vectorization technology, it can read text and outlines within PDF drawings. It can instantly present relevant sections from vast amounts of documents in response to instructions such as "Show me the elevation drawing for a specific property."
Secure Sharing with Partner Companies and External Parties
By inheriting ANDPAD's authorization settings, information can be shared with partner companies and internal stakeholders within an appropriate scope, promoting self-resolution across the entire site.
Integration with the "Stellarc" Agent Group
It will serve as a core foundation that, in conjunction with the "Stellarc" agent group (to be provided in the future), not only searches for knowledge but also supports the automation of practical tasks.

ANDPAD will continue to develop AI technologies to further solve challenges and support productivity improvement in the construction industry.
