Miraikoji's Innovative AI Feature Revolutionizes Construction Documentation

In a significant advancement for the construction industry, Miraikoji Co., Ltd., headquartered in Meguro, Tokyo, has unveiled a new feature in its construction photo application that employs AI technology to automatically read and extract information from site chalkboards. This feature allows data such as work type, measurement points, and special notes to be seamlessly integrated into the app, alleviating the burden of manual entry on-site.

Traditionally, workers had to input the information from the chalkboard into a digital ledger manually, whether through a web version or within the app. This process not only consumed valuable time but also often led to mistakes. With the newly launched AI chalkboard reading function, the app can now analyze the text from the chalkboard and automatically populate specified fields within the application, streamlining documentation processes significantly.

The Need for Efficiency

In many construction sites, especially public works, the practice of documenting work type, measurement points, attendees’ names, and construction locations on the chalkboard has become widespread. However, transferring this information to ledgers and reports has remained a manual task, which incurs a time cost that can hinder overall efficiency. To address these challenges, Miraikoji has developed an AI-powered system that reads chalkboard information directly from construction photos and reflects this information in the digital ledger, facilitating a smoother workflow.

Overview of the AI Chalkboard Reading Functionality

With the latest update, users of the Miraikoji app can now perform several key operations:

• - AI Analysis: The AI processes the text on the chalkboard and automatically populates the relevant fields such as work type, measurement points, and notes.
• - Customizable Rules: Users can define their unique set of rules regarding text arrangements, enabling them to tailor the functionality to their specific needs.
• - Flexibility: The system adapts to different chalkboard formats used on various sites, efficiently accommodating diverse requirements.
• - Increased Efficiency: The automation of data entry significantly cuts down on the time and potential errors associated with manual entry.

Customization Through User-Defined Rules

The unique ruleset allows users to designate which information appears in which location on the chalkboard. Via the management interface, users can drag and map the positions of chalkboard items and save these as reading rules. This feature ensures that the app can handle different chalkboard formats employed by various teams or projects, thereby maximizing its versatility.

Process of Reading Chalkboard Data

The newly implemented system follows a straightforward process:

1. The construction photo captures the chalkboard section, and the AI identifies it for data extraction.
2. Based on the recognized content, the AI automatically fills out related input fields within the Miraikoji app, including work type, measurement points, and attendees.
3. After the data is extracted, users can edit and verify the information before it is reflected in the ledger.

Note: As this feature is currently in beta, Miraikoji plans to continue updates to enhance reading accuracy and overall performance.
