High-precision RTK-GNSS available for a monthly fee of several thousand yen: 'ichimill' thoroughly tested by Kōbe Seiko for drone surveying and point cloud measurement.
This article was published in Construction IT World on March 18, 2022. SoftBank offers a high-precision positioning service called "ichimill," which provides "correction information" used in "RTK-GNSS" capable of high-precision surveying. Despite its accuracy of just a few centimeters, the usage fee is surprisingly low at several thousand yen per month. A technical sales representative from Kobe Seiko, a surveying equipment sales company based in Kobe, Hyogo Prefecture, thoroughly tested the capabilities of ichimill using point cloud measurements with drones and 3D laser scanners.

Enabling the detection of water pipe joint positions with an error margin of a few centimeters. Achieving the digitalization of piping construction management through the utilization of location information.
Currently, the construction and infrastructure industry is facing serious issues such as a shortage of personnel and an aging workforce. The water supply, which is the most important infrastructure supporting our lives, is also confronted with various challenges, including the aging of facilities, a decrease in the number of staff, and an aging workforce among contractors. To maintain and manage water supply facilities, improving efficiency on-site is more essential than ever. To address this issue, Nishio Rent All, a construction equipment rental company, has developed the "HAIKAN-SmartWork" piping construction information management system, which allows for the identification and management of the location of buried water pipes based on signals received from GNSS.
