A Turning Point for the Construction Industry | The Future of Drones, 3D Scanners, and the Cloud

Hello, everyone.

This is Enta.

 

I've been thinking lately—hasn't the evolution of smartphones already come to an end?

The software version has been changing over the past three years or so, but,

Hardware hasn't really changed that much, has it?

It's obvious at a glance when you look at this.

It's the same with Android phones, too.

So, what do you do on your smartphone?

Phone features, email, social media, web browsing, searching for information, calculator

That's about right, isn't it?

What will happen next? Will they be implanted in the human body?

Well, I think in the next era, concepts like operating systems will be consolidated into a single entity, and everything will be based on the web (the cloud).

About 10 years ago, I asked a systems engineer I knew, “I wonder if it’s possible to run Windows for about 100 people over the web…”

There was a time when we used to talk about this. We’re in an era where we don’t even need an OS anymore.

That time is coming soon.

 

What about us—construction contractors like slope-construction specialists?

First,Surveying Using Drones and Automatic Optical Line Surveying (Traverse)...will play a key role.

That part is for sure.

3D Scanners and Drones for As-Built InspectionThen scan the legal framework and so on, and

You'll be able to capture the final shape of the entire legal framework.

Since the current accuracy is within about 10 cm, we can expect a dramatic improvement in accuracy over the next five years or so.

We'll transfer that data from the drone to a smartphone and then upload it to the cloud for electronic submission.

All electronic filing software will be fully cloud-based.

If businesses across the country all use the same cloud system, costs will go down accordingly, so,

In the future, such system providers will emerge.

It's just a matter of time, isn't it?

And what we can do right now is,Getting used to drones and getting used to 3DThat's it.

Ideally, you should be able to use a drone to capture footage at this stage and be familiar with the basics of surveying.

The time will surely come when this becomes the norm.

I’d love to implement it and really get things rolling, but that’s where small and medium-sized businesses fall short. (Financially)

So, as a starting point, I implemented 3D CAD. I can use 3D CAD pretty well, you know? lol

Over the next 30 to 40 years, as some jobs disappear, new ones will emerge,
We'll see quite a few new jobs that we can't even imagine yet.

 

For example, a Level 1 Civil Engineering Drone Management Technician, lol, or a 3D CAD Technician, lolol

If you have a drone, there’s no doubt that putting it to use now will pay off in the future.

 

By the way, it looks like the drone school is fully booked right now.

Drone School Japan

It's definitely one of the new job types.

 

See you later.
