Ishikawa Kensetsu Adopts AI Cloud Process Management Tool 'PROCOLLA'

Arent Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and President: Hiroki Kamobayashi; hereinafter "Arent"), which promotes DX in the construction industry, announces that Ishikawa Kensetsu Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Ota City, Gunma Prefecture; Representative Director: Masaichi Ishikawa; hereinafter "Ishikawa Kensetsu"), a general construction company with over 80 years of history based in Gunma Prefecture, has adopted the AI cloud process management tool 'PROCOLLA'. The purpose of this adoption is to free site supervisors from cumbersome administrative tasks and create an environment where they can concentrate on their core duties of "safety and quality management" and the company's stated "Kando Strategy (sharing deep satisfaction with customers)". ■ Background of Adoption: Digitalization to Accelerate Traditional "Site-First Principle" Ishikawa Kensetsu is focusing on improving productivity through ICT utilization to achieve its management vision of "It was good to have chosen Ishikawa Kensetsu!". In particular, they have established a "Construction DX Promotion Department" composed of elite members from the field, promoting measures that directly reduce the burden on the site. Until now, the company managed processes using Excel and CAD, but faced challenges such as "having to redraw all lines when modifying a process" and "the effort required to separately create monthly and weekly schedules from the overall schedule." To break away from the current situation where site supervisors are bogged down by administrative work and to allow them to concentrate on higher value-added tasks, they decided to adopt 'PROCOLLA,' jointly developed by Obayashi Corporation and Arent. ■ Decisive Factors for Adoption and Expected Effects "Once drawn, everything connects" - Data Linkage Highly evaluated the function to instantly output "monthly schedules" and "weekly schedules" by extracting necessary periods and work types from the master schedule (overall schedule). This eliminates duplicate and triplicate input work, preventing transcription errors and significantly saving time. Real-time Knowledge Transfer through "Simultaneous Editing" Since one schedule can be shared and edited on the cloud, experienced veterans can provide online advice on younger members' schedules, enabling location-independent technical guidance. This visualizes on-site intuition digitally and accelerates training. Breaking Away from "Personal Dependence" and Fostering Young Talent through AI Utilization With AI support, even young employees with limited experience or those from non-technical backgrounds can create "passing grade schedules" at an early stage. PROCOLLA supports the creation of a "strong site" that does not depend on specific individuals. ■ Case Study Interview (note) An in-depth interview article with members of Ishikawa Kensetsu's Construction DX Promotion Department regarding the background of PROCOLLA's adoption and the future they aim for through DX has been published. ▼ [Case Study] Construction DX Promotion Department's Challenge in "Process Management DX".
