Geo-Search Unveils Chika Digi® Lite Plan for Short-Term Use

On July 1, Geo-Search Inc., headquartered in Ota City, Tokyo, introduced a new system and plan, "Chika Digi Lite," for their innovative excavation management app, Chika Digi®. This application allows users to photograph excavation conditions using their smartphones and upload the data to the cloud, resulting in the creation of 3D data and drawings.

Introduction of Chika Digi Lite

The Chika Digi Lite plan is designed for users seeking short-term usage options, available for one-month intervals. This feature enables construction sites to adopt digital transformation (DX) with minimal costs and commitments. The plan is perfect for companies that require a flexible solution to manage excavation data but may not need a long-term subscription.

Key Features of Chika Digi Lite

• - Flexibility: Users can opt for license usage on a month-to-month basis, which significantly reduces the initial setup costs for companies by up to 60% compared to the traditional plans.
• - Streamlined Processes: All contracting and billing processes have been transitioned online, allowing users to manage their entire experience digitally without the hassle of manual paperwork.
• - Comprehensive Deliverables: The outcomes include a complete set of deliverables packaged conveniently. Users receive 3D data (available in PDF and LAS formats), plans and cross-sectional drawings (in DXF), and 3D modeling (in DXF), offering a holistic view of their excavation projects.

Overview of Chika Digi®

Chika Digi® addresses various challenges encountered in excavation-related construction projects, such as difficulties in obtaining an overall understanding of excavation conditions, discrepancies between photographs and records, complex management processes, and redundant trial excavations due to underutilized data. Remarkably, this service solves many of these issues using standard smartphone video recording capabilities.

The system produces 3D data that can be viewed using Adobe Acrobat Reader, eliminating the need for specialized applications. The service has garnered significant recognition, winning the 2024 Infrastructure DX Award and also being registered with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT) under NETIS (KT-220240-A). Moreover, it has been included in the MLIT’s technical catalog for water supply and sewerage DX technologies, highlighting its acclaimed utility and efficiency.
