Reproducing the site with 3D point cloud data, with just one touch.
A 3D laser scanner is a non-prism measuring device that can obtain three-dimensional data of terrains and structures without touching the measurement target. Unlike traditional surveying instruments that measure at "single points," it can rapidly and accurately capture thousands to hundreds of thousands of data points per second, allowing for "surface" measurements of the target. It is actively used in various fields, including visualization, modeling, consideration for new construction or renovations, and maintenance management.

Applications/Examples of results
■Equipment, Factories, Plants By modeling piping based on point cloud data, it becomes possible to handle it as CAD data, making it easier to check for interferences in complex piping and to ensure welding gap distances. This is utilized in planning for the expansion of equipment or layout changes. ■Architecture Buildings with lost drawings can be measured to create current drawings. Additionally, by increasing the density of the point cloud, decorative elements such as reliefs embedded in walls and stair railings can also be measured, allowing beautiful architectural designs to be passed on to future generations. ■Tunnels With a large number of points, the shape of structures can be captured in a "surface" manner, allowing for accurate data collection of curved shapes like tunnels. It is possible to perform as-built measurements by comparing with design data and to measure temporal displacements by overlaying data collected multiple times at regular intervals. Cross-sectional views can be created at any position, and visual representation can also be achieved through color coding. ■Bridges, Elevated Structures The deterioration conditions of bridges, such as distortion and subsidence, can be measured from a distance without implementing traffic restrictions or setting up scaffolding. It is also used for modeling existing bridges that do not have drawings.

Large-scale public facility ■ 3D current measurement of the stadium Measurement area: 37,000 square meters Measurement days: 3 days x 2 machines Number of measurement points: 24 locations Measurement interval: 20mm Hanshin Koshien Stadium underwent a large-scale renovation in 2007. Our measurement technology was utilized in creating detailed drawings before the renovation work. By creating drawings from the acquired point cloud data, we were able to calculate more accurate dimensions compared to the conventional drawings that unfolded the curved outer wall into straight lines.

Cultural properties, castles, shrines, and temples ■ Current status measurement of temple gates Measurement area: 5,000 square meters Measurement duration: 1 day x 1 unit Number of measurement points: 8 locations Measurement interval: 20mm It is possible to create more accurate and detailed representations of shapes compared to drawings made from sketches and photographs. The stone walls of the castle are facing issues such as bulging and collapse due to aging, necessitating the expression of fine irregularities and detailed shapes. Therefore, we conduct measurements and data processing of point cloud data at a higher density setting than usual.

Slope ■3D Current Condition Measurement of Slope Formwork Measurement Area: 7,500 square meters Measurement Days: 2 days x 1 unit Number of Measurement Points: 12 locations Measurement Interval: 20mm It is possible to visualize complex slopes and shapes that are difficult to discern from 2D drawings alone. Additionally, it can be used for current condition measurements at sites where landslides and other disasters have occurred. It allows for the preservation of site conditions without entering hazardous areas, and the acquired data is utilized for analysis aimed at recovery and disaster prevention.

Quarry and Development Site ■ 3D Measurement of Crushed Stone Measurement Area: 1,000 square meters Measurement Days: 1 day x 1 unit Number of Measurement Points: 7 locations Measurement Interval: 20mm By measuring the current topography and overlaying it with the 3D mesh data created based on the land use planning drawings, we calculate the volume of soil. Since we can obtain detailed topographical data, we can accurately calculate the soil volume and establish an appropriate soil volume distribution plan.
Company information
Our company was founded in 1995 with the aim of supporting the recovery from the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake. The company name is derived from our unique measurement device "KUMONOS," which can quickly and accurately measure 0.2mm cracks from a distance of 100 meters. In 1998, we were the first in Japan to introduce a 3D laser scanner, and since then, we have developed 3D measurement and equipment introduction businesses to promote 3D laser scanner technology. Over the past 25 years, we have accumulated over 2,500 measurement achievements and approximately 300 equipment introductions, establishing ourselves as a leading company in 3D laser scanning in Japan. Our technology has received numerous ministerial awards from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, and the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, including the Japan Manufacturing Award. Additionally, our technology was introduced to world leaders at the G20 Osaka Summit, receiving high praise both domestically and internationally. Moving forward, we will continue to implement cutting-edge technology backed by our high technical capabilities and provide DX solutions across various fields.
