Free Workshop in Nagasaki: Boosting Surveying with Drone and SLAM Technologies

On November 21, 2025, a complimentary CPDS-accredited workshop titled "Utilizing Drone Surveying Technology and Compact SLAM" will take place in Isahaya City, Nagasaki. This event, organized by the Nagasaki branch of Mizukami Yoko Co., features insights from experts at FLIGHTS, a technology startup dedicated to improving efficiency in surveying and measurement tasks.

Upcoming Workshop Details

The workshop will be held in conjunction with the "Digital Technology Exhibition for Construction and Surveying" at Isahaya Cultural Center. It aims to support construction and surveying professionals by sharing cutting-edge methodologies designed to enhance on-site efficiency, reduce costs, and improve safety through the implementation of drone and SLAM technologies.

Why This Technology Is Essential Now

Within Japan's construction sector, particularly in the Kyushu region, the aging workforce presents significant challenges. Addressing labor shortages and advancing the digitalization of surveying and measurement tasks are critical to overcoming these hurdles. This workshop focuses on two transformative solutions: Drone Surveying Technology and Compact Lightweight SLAM, which enable accurate point cloud data acquisition even in confined spaces or indoor environments.

Key Learning Points from the Workshop

Participants will learn about practical approaches to utilizing drone and SLAM technologies to optimize surveying processes. Traditional surveying methods, which could take days to complete, can be expedited significantly by combining these technologies. This will not only streamline operations but also mitigate risks associated with challenging terrains, such as mountainous areas or sites with poor accessibility.

CPDS Credits Available

Participants will also have the opportunity to earn CPDS learning units (one unit expected) for participating in this workshop.

Expert Lecturers

The workshop will feature presentations from Satoshi Ishiyama, a licensed surveyor and engineer from FLIGHTS. His extensive background in spatial information and engineering will provide attendees with actionable insights from real-world experiences, moving beyond theoretical discussions to practical applications on the ground.
