SORABITO Corporation (Representative Director and President: Kazuaki Hakata, hereinafter SORABITO) will participate as a support company in the Hokkaido Construction DX Community "Ruyne Base," which will be established on April 1, 2026, by Iwata Chizaki Construction Co., Ltd., Rentacom Hokkaido Co., Ltd., and NTT East Corporation Hokkaido Business Division as organizers. SORABITO will provide DX solutions, including the paperless transformation of inspection operations at construction sites, contributing to solving challenges such as labor shortages and aging workforces faced by Hokkaido's construction industry and to its sustainable development.
## Background of Participation
The Hokkaido construction industry faces a dual challenge of an aging workforce and severe labor shortages, in addition to regional characteristics such as a widely dispersed society and snowy, cold climate. A "Three-Company Collaboration Agreement" concluded in July 2022 by Iwata Chizaki Construction, Rentacom Hokkaido, and NTT East has been advancing various demonstrations, including the utilization of drones, IoT, AI, and 3D data, towards improving productivity through ICT utilization and fostering ICT engineers.
Based on the results of these three years of demonstrations, the new community "Ruyne Base" will be established with the aim of spreading DX throughout the Hokkaido construction industry. SORABITO, with its vision of "co-creating an ecosystem for working machinery" and a proven track record of promoting DX in construction and civil engineering sites, has decided to participate in this community as a support company.
## SORABITO's Role in the Community
SORABITO will primarily contribute to Ruyne Base in the following ways:
* **DX at construction sites, including inspection tasks and safety documents:** Supporting the paperless transformation of various documents, including inspection reports and other paper forms generated once construction begins, and supporting AI utilization to streamline inspection and safety operations and centralize record management.
* **Participation in Robot/Drone WG and other groups:** Technology development and case study sharing through working group activities within the community.
* **Speaking at ICT exchange meetings and presenting case studies:** Introducing the latest solutions as a support company at regular exchange meetings and study sessions.
* **Responding to development requests:** Consolidating on-site needs from construction companies in Hokkaido to promote service improvement and new feature development tailored to site requirements.
## Comment from SORABITO Chairman, Takayuki Aoki
"I wholeheartedly welcome the establishment of 'Ruyne Base'.
I am confident that this initiative, where Hokkaido construction companies and construction tech companies join forces to strongly promote DX on site, is a major step forward in pioneering the future of the industry, addressing the serious labor shortage challenges faced by the construction industry. Our company's vision is 'co-creating an ecosystem for working machinery,' and we support improving on-site productivity through industry DX. Through the activities of this community, we will contribute to realizing 'smart construction sites' where young people want to work. We look forward to co-creating new standards for the construction industry from Hokkaido."
## About "GENBAx Tenken"
"GENBAx Tenken" is a service that digitizes all inspection sheets used at construction sites, streamlining safety inspection management. By digitally managing daily inspection tasks at sites, such as pre-operation checks for construction machinery, equipment, scaffolding, and worker health checks, it eliminates the need to collect paper inspection sheets and reduces the effort of approvals. It also enhances safety management by enabling real-time management and sharing of inspection results.
