Sanki Engineering, Shin Nippon Air Technologies, and NYK Systems to Jointly Develop Rebro Automatic Drawing Functions

Sanki Engineering Co., Ltd., Shin Nippon Air Technologies Co., Ltd., and NYK Systems Co., Ltd. announced that the three companies have agreed to begin joint development of automatic drawing functions for Rebro. In the construction industry, improving productivity has become an urgent issue across the sector, as labor shortages deepen following the application of overtime work limits. Against this backdrop, the importance of improving operational efficiency through BIM, or Building Information Modeling, continues to grow. Sanki Engineering introduced Rebro in 2016 and has worked with NYK Systems to enhance BIM functions, including streamlining attribute management for parts and materials and rationalizing model integration for equipment data. Building on these efforts, the two companies began joint development of automatic drawing functions in December 2024. Shin Nippon Air Technologies introduced Rebro in 2017 and has promoted company-wide efficiency improvements in on-site operations through construction BIM. In this project, the company will incorporate its accumulated technical expertise and field-based needs into development, aiming to create functions with greater practical effectiveness. Through this three-party collaboration, the companies will combine the expertise of Sanki Engineering and Shin Nippon Air Technologies to realize more practical BIM solutions. Under the initiative, Sanki Engineering and Shin Nippon Air Technologies will provide NYK Systems with technical knowledge and on-site needs accumulated through design and construction work. NYK Systems will be responsible for developing and implementing Rebro functions based on that input. The three companies will continue development through repeated verification and feedback, aiming to build highly practical functions aligned with real field operations. Going forward, the companies will continue to develop and strengthen BIM solutions, including Rebro’s automatic drawing functions, through this collaboration. By broadly offering the resulting functions as standard features to all Rebro users, they aim to raise the overall level of BIM utilization in the building equipment industry and contribute to improved productivity. The roles of each company are as follows: Sanki Engineering and Shin Nippon Air Technologies, as user companies, will provide technical expertise and on-site needs related to equipment design and construction and verify the developed functions. NYK Systems, as the development company, will develop and implement new Rebro functions based on the provided expertise.
