To install IoT devices in large quantities in a short period of time, it is important to ensure sufficient manpower, productivity improvement, and construction quality.
The company has developed its own cloud construction management system, BLAS, to improve the efficiency and productivity of on-site work. Due to the increase in the number of installations, the workload of quality checking business, which involves comparing on-site photos with report data for quality assurance, has also increased. In order to automate this process and reduce workload, the company developed AI.
By combining this AI with RPA, the workload of specific confirmation work was reduced by 95%, leading to improvement in quality assurance and efficiency of confirmation work. At the beginning of development, there were difficulties in discerning the numbers "5" and "6" of electric meter images and judging the carry-over or carry-under of digits on analog meters. However, by adding learning data, a reading accuracy of more than 90% was ensured, leading to practical use and patent acquisition.
BLAS is a system that allows registration, update and management of work progress and photo data from the site using a smartphone or PC.
