Benefits of Modely Implementation:<\/h2>\n
Modely can handle challenges such as double-layer configurations of main rebars, bottom-side rebars of floor slabs, and measuring circular hoop bars. It also offers efficiency enhancements, such as the following.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Traditional rebar inspections cost 1.6M yen in labor for measurements, photography, and reports. Modely reduces costs to as low as 1M yen.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Inspection time can be reduced to approximately one-fifth (from 150 minutes per inspection to 30 minutes per inspection).<\/p>\n
\u2013 Modely enables point cloud data acquisition and modeling on an iPad, without the need for expensive software or measurement devices. The user interface is simple, making it accessible to everyone.<\/p>\n

Modely Achievements<\/h2>\n
Modely has been widely adopted by construction companies and infrastructure owners in Japan since its release in April 2023. The platform\u2019s features are updated every two weeks based on user feedback and requests.<\/p>\n
Key Updates Since Service Release:<\/b><\/p>\n
\u2013 Client Invitation: Clients can be invited to view rebar inspection results (3D models and reports) created on Modely, allowing both contractors and clients to access the platform.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Comment and Image Upload to Specific Locations: Users can now upload comments and images to specific locations on the 3D model, facilitating more accurate and detailed information sharing.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Display of Individual Rebar Distances and Rebar\/Cover Thickness: In addition to displaying the average distance between rebars, users can now view the distance of each individual rebar, making it easier to identify areas for correction. Measurement of cover thickness is also available.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Upload of Design Drawings (PDF): Design drawings can be uploaded to Modely to visualize measurement areas.<\/p>\n

About the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport\u2019s \u201cInfrastructure DX Award\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n
The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport has been organizing the \u201ci-Construction Awards\u201d since fiscal year 2017 with the aim of sharing best practices for improving productivity on construction sites. Renamed the \u201cInfrastructure DX Awards\u201d in fiscal year 2020, the initiative has expanded its scope to include efforts beyond the construction industry, such as enhancing infrastructure utilization and services. Additionally, to support startup initiatives in the infrastructure sector and promote their activities, a \u201cStartup Encouragement Award\u201d has been established to contribute to the revitalization of the construction industry.<\/p>\n
