Quando, Inc. (Headquarters: Kitakyushu, Fukuoka; CEO: Junichiro Shimooka) is pleased to announce the completion of a pilot test for the "SynQ Inspection Platform," an application developed by the company specifically to support inspection tasks at construction sites, in collaboration with Mitani Sangyo Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Kanazawa, Ishikawa; President: Tadateru Mitani).
In the pilot test, which covered the final inspections of approximately 1,000 units contracted by Mitani Sangyo, inspection time was reduced to two-thirds of the conventional duration. By digitizing the know-how of skilled technicians, the company has established a system that allows even less experienced personnel to perform inspections at a consistent quality level, achieving both increased efficiency and quality assurance in the face of labor shortages.
Background: Streamlining Inspection Tasks is Key to Solving Construction Industry Challenges
The construction industry continues to face high on-site workloads due to chronic labor shortages and delays in operational efficiency. In particular, inspection tasks at construction sites are a critical process for verifying the completion of facilities. However, these tasks often rely heavily on the long-term experience and high-level judgment of skilled technicians.
Furthermore, conducting accurate inspections requires multiple skilled technicians to spend long hours on-site, placing a significant burden on accompanying field staff. Additionally, the need for creating records for each inspection, as well as managing communications for correction instructions and verification, creates a structural issue where inefficient inspection systems strain overall operational efficiency and increase the burden on staff.
・Quality Department: Concerns over "late-stage discoveries" due to the retirement of skilled inspectors and lack of experience among younger staff.
・Construction Department: Increased burden of on-site verification due to inefficient communication and discrepancies in instructions to craftsmen.
・Supervision Department: Limits on on-site verification due to labor shortages and the "balancing act with time constraints."
・Craftsmen: Omissions in verification and "rework/time loss" caused by unclear correction instructions.
Streamlining inspection tasks is an important initiative for solving challenges across the entire construction industry, leading not only to operational improvements but also to the creation of mechanisms for technical succession and the correction of long working hours.
