Building better with Pixie Dust construction inspection technology and partners.

TLDR:

• Pixie Dust Technologies partners with MAEDA Corporation and Accenture Japan to develop Rebar Inspection System.
• The technology is expected to reduce on-site construction management testing time by 80%.

Japanese technology company Pixie Dust Technologies has collaborated with MAEDA Corporation and Accenture Japan to create the Rebar Inspection System, designed to capture still images of objects measured from a distance on construction sites. The technology aims to reduce the time required for on-site construction management testing of reinforcing bar arrangements, showing an 80% reduction in shooting time compared to traditional methods. By integrating 360° video and building information modeling (BIM), the solution simplifies the confirmation of reinforcing bar numbers, positions, and cover thickness. Leveraging Pixie Dust’s spatial data platform called KOTOWARI, the system is consumer-oriented and plans for a nationwide rollout by April 2024.

Key Points:

The Rebar Inspection System developed by Pixie Dust Technologies in partnership with MAEDA Corporation and Accenture Japan aims to streamline on-site construction management testing, reducing shooting time by 80%.

The integration of 360° video and BIM simplifies the confirmation of reinforcing bar numbers, positions, and cover thickness, enhancing efficiency and accuracy in construction inspection.

The KOTOWARI platform provides a robust foundation for capturing, storing, and analyzing spatial data, further enhancing the functionality and effectiveness of the Rebar Inspection System.
