Seiko Estate & Development Accelerates Construction DX with TOPCON 'Raku-ichi' Introduction to Streamline Construction Management Positioning Processes
Seiko Estate & Development Co., Ltd. has introduced the high-precision positioning machine 'Raku-ichi' by TOPCON Corporation as part of its initiative to improve construction management efficiency and promote work-style reform through Construction DX.
As a company handling new apartment construction for real estate investors, reducing the burden on construction managers and streamlining the construction process are key management priorities.
The 'Raku-ichi' system is designed to improve processes such as batter boards, marking, and positioning on construction sites. TOPCON highlights features such as 'marking via smartphone,' 'easy to use even for beginners,' 'work from anywhere,' and 'overwhelming efficiency.'
Seiko Estate & Development introduced 'Raku-ichi' at actual apartment construction sites. Staff challenged the efficiency of layout and positioning processes with support from Topcon representatives.
The company aims to address common reasons for job changes among construction managers—such as long working hours, holiday work, and heavy workloads—not through mere mental fortitude, but by creating systems through Construction DX.
Reasons for job changes in construction management often include long hours and on-site burdens. Construction management is vital for quality, schedule, and safety, yet factors like stress, impact on health/family, and unstable work locations lead to high turnover. Site managers often handle paperwork and photo organization after sunset after a day of field response. Layout and positioning, while crucial for accuracy, are particularly heavy burdens requiring manpower and experience.
'Raku-ichi' allows a single person to perform these tasks via smartphone. It features automatic leveling, eliminating manual adjustments. According to Topcon, it offers 3-4 times the efficiency of conventional methods, enabling managers to focus more on schedule, quality, and safety control. It also supports data integration for reporting, contributing to reduced office work after hours.
Seiko Estate & Development continues its commitment to improving the work environment through technological investment.
