We are working to establish a foundation for value creation through DX promotion, aiming to improve business processes and foster further growth by leveraging company-wide data.

1. Reducing the burden of on-site operations

AI-extraction and automated generation of construction manuals 東光電気工事×LaKeel BI

Searching accumulated data with AI and reducing construction manual creation time to approximately one-third

Preparing construction manuals that typically require over 300 hours per project. Using AI to extract and edit similar cases from accumulated data significantly decreases both time and workload.

Challenges in creating construction manuals

  • Characteristics can differ based on the building type, client, and prime contractor, which makes the creation process time-consuming and labor-intensive.

  • Although there is a need to reference similar past projects, finding them is difficult.

  • Progress stalls unless consulting senior colleagues or supervisors familiar with past projects.

2. Progress management for construction projects

Project progress visualization 東光電気工事×LaKeel BI

Visualizing project progress to support actual management and status awareness

Visualizing the "current state" of ongoing projects, enabling real-time confirmation of field information, progress, responsible personnel names, etc.

Challenges in project management

  • There is a lack of visibility into the overall status of the various projects currently underway nationwide.

  • Unable to quickly grasp information and progress of each ongoing project.

  • It takes time to look up the contracted value and the person in charge.

3. Promoting internal division of labor

Achieving work visualization, leveling, and efficiency for all employees

Purpose of introduction

We aim to reduce unnecessary confirmation tasks, clarify work priorities, and utilize the "Workload" feature to achieve workload leveling through the introduction of the work management tool Asana. Furthermore, by visualizing business processes, we seek to facilitate communication and enhance collaboration across front, middle, and back office functions.

4. Streamlining electrical calculations

Electrical equipment calculation software: ALCa 東光電気工事×ZUKEN

ALCa dramatically reduces the effort and time required to create electrical calculation documents

Dramatically streamlines the creation of electrical calculation sheets, which previously required many hours of work by skilled technicians. Simplified one-line diagrams are also automatically generated, allowing for quick identification of error points.

Compliance with the Architectural Equipment Design Standards, Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism / Challenges in electrical calculations and wiring diagram creation

  • It takes time to create various electrical calculation sheets (load aggregation, voltage drop, transformer capacity, etc.).

  • Transcription errors or omissions can occur even when copying the same values.

  • When specifications, capacities, or other values change, all upstream values need to be revised, which creates a significant burden.

5. Labor saving for heavy-weight material handling

A single worker can easily handle the loading and unloading of L8 drums, as well as manage cable laying work with DOLACOS

We have developed a trolley designed to alleviate the burden of moving cable drums, making it possible to transport them even on sites with steps or slopes. Looking ahead, we plan to advance the development of a successor to DOLACOS, which will be equipped with sensing technology and additional features aimed at further improving safety and efficiency.

Daily challenges with cable drum transportation

  • Moving materials in preparation for the next day's work consumes a significant amount of time and effort.

  • Multiple personnel are required at sites with steps, slopes, or other uneven surfaces.

  • There is a risk of accidents, such as being caught by heavy cable drums.
