Exploring Laser Measurement in Construction

The construction industry in Japan is facing a critical labor shortage, exacerbated by an aging workforce and a decline in young recruits. This scenario calls for innovative solutions, and one such solution is the adoption of three-dimensional measurement technologies. FLIGHTS, a technology startup specializing in measurement efficiency in the construction sector, is determined to demystify this process.

Upcoming Seminar Details

On August 6, 2025, FLIGHTS' surveying expert, Hitoshi Ishiyama, will participate in the online seminar titled "Utilizing Laser Measurement in the Field: Basics and Applications." This seminar aims to equip attendees with actionable knowledge about incorporating 3D measurement techniques seamlessly into their operations. Registered under the Continuing Professional Development System (CPDS) by the Japan Civil Engineering Management Association, it offers two CPDS units to participants.

Why Focus on Laser Measurement Now?

The structural issues plaguing the Japanese construction industry include an aging workforce and the challenge of transferring skills from seasoned professionals to younger employees. This gap necessitates the rapid advancement of construction DX (digital transformation). The use of laser measurement is seen as vital to enhancing productivity and efficiency within the realms of surveying and shape management. However, many companies hesitate to adopt these technologies due to concerns over costs and the complexity involved in their implementation.

Building Confidence Through Knowledge

This seminar aims to be more than just a means to earn CPDS credits; it seeks to instill confidence in companies considering the adoption of 3D measurement technologies. Participants will leave with a robust understanding of how they can effectively implement laser measurement within their operations, dispelling doubts and making them feel capable of integrating these tools into their workflows.
