Enhancing Construction Efficiency with Cutting-Edge Technology
Fukui Computer Co., Ltd., based in Sakai City, Fukui Prefecture, has just announced an exciting update to its existing field measurement application, FIELD-TERRACE. This new feature is an integration with the simplified 3D machine guidance system, Holfee3D from Nippon Seiki Co., Ltd., headquartered in Nagaoka City, Niigata Prefecture. The upgraded version, dubbed the MG (Holfee3D) edition, is set to officially launch on March 17, 2026.
Background of the Initiative
Since 2016, the Japanese Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport, and Tourism has actively promoted a construction productivity initiative called ‘i-Construction.’ This initiative aims to enhance productivity by expanding the use of 3D data and ICT construction machinery, including machine guidance systems. Recent reports indicate that the implementation rate of ICT construction practices has reached about 90% in civil engineering projects, with the standardization of ICT and 3D machine guidance in public works making significant strides.
In this context, the Holfee3D machine guidance system has drawn attention as a cost-effective solution that can be retrofitted to existing construction machinery. It serves as an essential strategy for addressing digital transformation in small to medium construction sites. To further support this movement, the integration of machine guidance capabilities into FIELD-TERRACE is anticipated to alleviate labor shortages in construction and enhance productivity through improved work efficiency.
Overview of the Integration Feature
The collaboration between FIELD-TERRACE and Holfee3D allows for a seamless transition between survey operations and machine guidance. During earthwork processes, users can monitor the position of the excavator bucket edge in real time. This functionality helps prevent construction errors such as over-digging or unexcavated areas, thus enhancing the overall precision of operations.
