この記事では、リモート対応における現場の課題を解決してくれる『ミライ工事2』についてご紹介します。

On-Site Concerns at the Corona Vortex

Situation at the site in the Corona Vortex

新型コロナウイルスの感染拡大は、工事現場にも大きな影響を与えています。施工者が感染した場合には、着工の遅れや工事の一時停止などを余儀なくされます。実際に大手建設会社の複数の従業員が感染し、工事が中断になってしまったケースがありました。
先行きが不透明な今日、多くの企業にとってコロナ対応は避けて通れない課題といえます。

Remote on-site operations are required.

What is required today is a way of working that avoids unnecessary contact by making on-site work remote. While the construction schedule is fixed, and the company cannot afford to reduce manpower, there is a demand for remote work that reduces contact as much as possible while assuring quality.

Importance of remote response and online supervision

Remote support also required for after-corona

The construction industry continues to face a labor shortage, and the promotion of remote on-site work is attracting particular attention. The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism is also actively enforcing remote on-site operations in the supervision and inspection of civil engineering works under its direct control. Even after Corona’s convergence, remoteness will continue to be a high priority issue for improving the efficiency of on-site work as a consistent part of work style reform.

Online supervision services that ensure quality while preventing tightness.

Communication between the site and the online supervisor is essential to ensure firm quality assurance while avoiding “tight” quarters. The “Mirai Construction 2” construction photo application allows a single person to perform everything from taking construction photos to creating ledgers without leaving the job site. In addition, the responsible person in the office can view the photos taken at the site in real time and give instructions on the spot to support online supervision. This prevents mistakes caused by lack of communication due to remote support.

Examples of companies that have achieved remote support and online supervision

We will introduce examples of companies that have actually realized remote support and online supervision. We are sure that you will be able to get a more concrete image of how it can be used in the field.

Remote supervision work that can be achieved with Mirai Construction 2

With “Mirai Construction 2,” you can act as a remote supervisor, sending accurate instructions from your office to employees on the job site. Among the many useful functions, we would like to introduce four that are particularly useful in the Corona Vortex.

Convenient function 1: One person can use the electronic blackboard to complete a photo shoot.

Construction photo work used to require two people to take pictures: one to hold the chalk blackboard and the other to take the pictures. With the electronic blackboard function of “Mirai Construction 2,” the photos can be taken by a single person simply by creating the blackboard in advance.

Convenient function 2: Completion of photo ledger on site

従来は、工事写真の撮影後は事務所に帰るかパソコンを開くためにスペースを確保する必要がありました。パソコンで写真を整理し、台帳に工事情報を入力するためです。しかし『ミライ工事2』は、事前に作成した台帳へ、撮った写真が自動的に反映されます。あとから整理する必要がありません。

また、工事情報の編集もスマホから行えるので、現場にいながらにして写真台帳を完成させることができます。

Useful Feature 3: Automatic creation of PDF and Excel files of ledgers

『ミライ工事2』は、スマホで台帳のPDFを自動で作成し報告書として出力することができます。これまではパソコンを立ち上げて、エクセルに撮った写真を一枚一枚貼り付けて、PDFに変換して…という手間が必要だった作業がスマホ一台で、しかも現場で完結します。

もちろんパソコン版にアクセスして写真台帳をエクセル形式で出力することもできます。

Convenient function 4: Remote supervision and work guidance from the office

現場で撮影をした写真は、クラウドに保存されるので事務所にいるリモート監督者にリアルタイムで反映されます。また『ミライ工事2』にはトーク機能がついているので、責任者は事務所にいながらにして、現場の写真を見て的確に指示できます。ファイルもあとから確認、ダウンロードできます。

その場で連絡や写真の確認が行えるので、現場から戻ってきて、写真を整理していたら不備が見つかって撮り直しに行く…というようなやり直しを防ぐことができます。
