Liberaware Partners with Fukui Computer
In a significant move aimed at revolutionizing the construction industry,
Liberaware, a cutting-edge provider of digital inspection solutions, has announced a strategic partnership with
Fukui Computer. This collaboration will integrate Liberaware's innovative spatial Integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS), known as
LAPIS, with Fukui Computer's advanced 3D point cloud processing system,
TREND-POINT. This joint effort seeks to enhance the efficiency of data utilization and workflow processes in construction management.
Streamlining Construction Operations
The construction industry faces numerous challenges, including a growing labor shortage that necessitates the adoption of more efficient and automated practices. The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's initiative,
i-Construction 2.0, emphasizes the need for productivity improvements in the sector. Currently, the process of transforming drone-acquired data into actionable 3D information often involves several manual steps, including data capture, organization, processing, and eventual application, which can be cumbersome and resource-intensive.
By leveraging the advanced capabilities of LAPIS and TREND-POINT, Liberaware aims to streamline these operations into a cohesive system, minimizing the reliance on specialized skills and high-performance equipment. The implementation of this integrated system allows for real-time cloud processing of construction data collected via drones, significantly reducing the time and effort required for data handling.
Features of LAPIS and TREND-POINT
The
LAPIS platform is recognized for its seamless connection, facilitating data acquisition, visualization, analysis, and display in a single ecosystem. It integrates with various devices and software, ensuring a robust infrastructure for the construction and maintenance industries.
On the other hand,
TREND-POINT is celebrated for its precision in data editing and measurement capabilities, allowing construction professionals to efficiently manage large datasets of 3D point cloud information. Its advanced functionalities, including calculations for distance, area, volume, and surface conditions, have made it a popular choice among engineers across Japan. Together, these two platforms aim to enhance the overall efficiency and productivity of construction projects.
Breaking Down Barriers in Data Utilization
Prior to this collaboration, many construction sites struggled with fragmented data utilization, where 3D data from drones and laser scanners were not sufficiently integrated with corporate systems or other applications. This gap posed significant challenges in the pursuit of labor-saving innovations and productivity enhancements. With the integration of LAPIS and TREND-POINT, users can now seamlessly import processed 3D data directly, facilitating efficient data utilization that was previously hampered by manual systems.
Future Outlook for Construction Technology
Liberaware, which is celebrating its tenth anniversary this year, is committed to accelerating the digital transformation of construction sites through this initiative. The company aims to expand its product offerings and develop industry-specific solutions tailored for infrastructure and plant maintenance. By evolving into a company that provides data platform solutions for sustainable urban development, Liberaware aspires to partner with diverse enterprises to create expansive ecosystems.
This collaboration not only stands to benefit the construction sector but also promises to facilitate advancements within industries such as sewage infrastructure and plant maintenance. As the demand for efficient and high-quality construction processes grows, integrating sophisticated technologies like LAPIS and TREND-POINT is essential for meeting these challenges head-on.
