▼Highlights of This Case Study Challenge: It was difficult to survey complex shapes such as existing walls, rocks, and trees. Other challenges included the physical strain caused by weather conditions (extreme temperatures, rain, and strong winds), errors in manual surveying, and the need for rework. Implementation: Scanat from a trusted source. With intuitive, video-like controls, […]

▼Highlights of This Case Study Challenge: [New Construction] Surveying sites with elevation differences required two or more personnel and was extremely labor-intensive. Furthermore, due to changes in the law, the importance of accurate elevation data had increased. [Renovation] Site inspection to proposal […]

▼ Highlights of This Case Study Challenge: Surveyors and contractors were required to work side by side, resulting in a massive amount of administrative work, such as organizing photos and creating ledgers. Solution: Scanat to streamline photo organization using scanned data and facilitate smooth on-site collaboration through 3D models. […]

▼Highlights of This Case Study Challenge: A significant amount of time was being spent on drawing creation and proposal work, and man-hours were increasing due to re-checks and revisions. Implementation: Scanat with the goal of “capturing the entire site in a single scan.” Results: Design and estimating time was reduced by approximately 60%. Junior staff […]

▼Highlights of This Case Study Challenge: An inefficient workflow had become the norm, requiring 2 to 4 people for on-site surveys and assuming the need for follow-up visits. Implementation: Aiming for a workflow that “can be completed in a single on-site survey,” the site was digitized into 3D data Scanat. Results: On-site work can now be handled by a single person, […]

▼Highlights of This Case Study Challenge: The process from on-site surveys to drawing creation took up to 12 hours, and missed measurements and the need for follow-up visits had become the norm. Solution: By using iPads for scanning and outsourcing drawing creation, the entire process—from on-site surveys to drawing creation—was streamlined. Results: Work time was reduced by up to approximately 90 […]

nat is conducting integration testing to ensure that data measured using the 3D scanning app Scanat can be utilized more smoothly in practical applications. In this update, we are focusing on data integration with “Walk in home” and the creation of cross-sectional views of previously scanned models […]

▼Highlights of This Case Study Challenge: Photographs failed to convey the overall layout of the site, as well as its slopes and narrow areas, making it difficult for stakeholders to understand the situation. Solution: Scanat based on its ease of use and high cost-effectiveness. Results: The site could be shared immediately using 3D models […]

▼Highlights of This Case Study Challenge: Insufficient photos and drawings when sharing information from the sales team to the construction department. Heavy workload associated with on-site surveys. Implementation: Scanat at stores nationwide. Sales representatives use a single iPhone to perform 3D scans of sites. Results: The number of estimates created increased by 30 to 5 […]

▼Highlights of This Case Study Challenge: “Finalizing drawings” after on-site surveys took one hour, which was leading to excessive overtime. Implementation: Scanat due to its intuitive usability and comprehensive support system. Results: The finalization process is now completed in about 5 minutes. There’s no need to return to the office, so while on the go […]

▼Highlights of This Case Study Challenge: Installing an exhibition in a historic building without architectural drawings. Risk of construction being impossible due to the inability to convey the “thickness of the columns.” Solution: Scanat and shared the data with a team of architects in Mexico. Results: The 3D model served as a “common language,” facilitating remote collaboration with overseas partners […]

We have released the fourth installment of our “Learn from Mr. Yoshigaki! Scanat ” video series, which solves on-site challenges in just 2 minutes. We created this series in response to the many requests we received asking, “How is 3D scanning actually used on construction sites?” […]
