Revolutionizing Rebar Inspections: A Joint Seminar at Archi Future 2025

In the realm of architecture and construction, ensuring the quality of a building's framework is paramount. Rebar inspections are a crucial step in this process. As demands for efficiency grow in the industry, the collaboration between U's Factory and Lecre aims to tackle the challenges of traditional inspection methods with innovative solutions. This collaboration culminates in a seminar titled "Automated Rebar Inspection with Kuraemon and BIM", set for October 23, 2025, as part of the Archi Future 2025 exhibition.

The Importance of Rebar Inspections

Rebar inspections are essential for guaranteeing a structure's integrity. However, the conventional approach to these inspections is often labor-intensive, requiring extensive time and effort for preparation, actual inspections, photography, report creation, and communication. As a result, there is a strong demand for improved efficiency in these processes.

Recognizing this pressing need, the Kuraemon Rebar Camera application developed by Lecre integrates seamlessly with BIM structural data, revolutionizing the inspection workflow. Utilizing data on rebar positions, layout drawings, and design specifications, the application can automatically generate electronic inspection forms and photos in real-time. It significantly streamlines the entire inspection process, allowing teams to complete all necessary tasks, from checking and photographing to reporting, on-site.

Uniting Forces for the Future of Construction

The seminar represents a fruitful partnership between U's Factory and Lecre, both equally committed to transforming the construction industry through technological advancement. U's Factory, renowned for developing solutions like BI For ARCHICAD and Info360, focuses on enhancing the fusion of virtual and real elements in construction practices. Their commitment to simplifying the use of BIM tools underlies the collaboration with Lecre, ensuring that all users, regardless of their technical background, can harness the power of BIM.

Lecre’s mission emphasizes helping individuals transition smoothly into the future of work by leveraging cutting-edge technology, thus enhancing both productivity and project quality. The two companies share a vision of advancing field quality and work efficiency through this partnership, further propelling digital transformation (DX) in construction sites.
