Quando, Inc. (Headquarters: Kitakyushu, Fukuoka; CEO: Junichiro Shimooka) is pleased to announce the completion of a pilot test for its "SynQ Inspection Platform," an application specialized in supporting inspection tasks at construction sites, conducted 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 previous duration. By digitizing the know-how of skilled technicians, the company has established a system that allows even less experienced staff 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 critical processes for verifying the completion of facilities; however, they currently rely heavily on the long-term experience and advanced judgment of skilled technicians.
Furthermore, conducting accurate inspections requires multiple skilled technicians to verify the site over long periods, placing a significant burden on accompanying site staff. Additionally, the need for creating records for each inspection, issuing corrective instructions, and managing communication for verification creates structural inefficiencies that pressure overall operations and increase workloads.
・Quality Department: Concerns over "late discovery of defects" 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 "trade-off with time constraints."
・Craftsmen: Omissions in verification and "rework/time loss" due to unclear corrective instructions.
Streamlining inspection tasks is a vital initiative for solving industry-wide challenges, extending beyond simple operational improvement to include the creation of mechanisms for technical succession and the correction of long working hours.
