Sankyu's Innovative Move Towards Digital Transformation
In a bid to enhance operational efficiency and embrace digital transformation (DX), Sankyu Corporation has recently begun trials of
GENBAx, a paperless inspection service developed by SORABITO, a company specializing in construction safety solutions. This initiative is part of Sankyu’s broader strategy to invest a staggering 30 billion yen into DX efforts by 2030 and implement extensive DX education for its entire workforce.
Background of the Trial Implementation
The trial run for the
GENBAx service, introduced by Sankyu’s plant construction department, stems from several challenges faced in traditional inspection processes.
- - Weather Obstacles: Previous inspection forms had to be filled out physically on-site, making it cumbersome during inclement weather.
- - Streamlined Processes: There was a pressing need to reduce the time and labor involved in collecting paper inspection forms.
- - Remote Progress Tracking: The company sought a solution that would enable the monitoring of inspection progress from remote locations.
