Evidence & checks
Safety & supervisionNot found

Before relying on it
Request the application-specific risk assessment and safety documentation; test emergency stops, exclusion zones and human supervision on site.

Field deploymentsNot found

Before relying on it
Speak with a named contractor using this model on a comparable site; confirm scope, duration and operating conditions.

Measured productivityCompany-published
Since its introduction in February 2015, SMARTCONSTRUCTION has addressed the labor shortages facing the Japanese construction industry by realizing improved productivity and safety at customer worksites.Reviewed 2026-10-16View source
This will enable worksite operations to be optimized by synchronizing the real worksite with its digital twin, and thereby realizing drastic improvement in the safety, productivity and environmental performance of the entire worksite.Reviewed 2026-10-16View source

Before relying on it
Run a supervised site pilot against your crew baseline; count setup, rework, downtime and intervention, not just peak speed.

Operating limitsMixed claims — review
6.SMARTCONSTRUCTION AR (Application) new This application overlays “To-Be” terrain data to the “As-Is” data for visualization of worksite operation progress and confirmation of remaining earth volume via a tablet or smartphone (using electronic worksite stakes).Reviewed 2026-10-16View source
This easy-to-fly drone measures the initial worksite terrain for 3D modelling as well as daily earth-volume progress tracking without requiring ground control points.Reviewed 2026-10-16View source

Before relying on it
Validate terrain, weather, payload, power and runtime limits against the actual site.

Maintenance & supportNot found

Before relying on it
Confirm local service coverage, replacement parts, operator training, response times and warranty exclusions.

Workflow integrationCompany-published
9.SMARTCONSTRUCTION Fleet (Application, previously named “Tracking Management System”) update Operation management via use of a digital twin allows for rapid progress gap quantification and operation plan adjustment (in high-speed PDCA style).Reviewed 2026-10-16View source

Before relying on it
Test your actual plans, coordinate systems, data export and handoff to existing site workflows.
