Takenaka’s Global Research and Innovation Team (GRIT) is in charge of finding and integrating cutting-edge technology which can improve processes in construction and smart cities and reduce carbon emissions.
After being introduced to Avatour during a Plug and Play event, the GRIT team saw an opportunity to use Avatour’s 360° remote collaboration platform for construction site visits.
Unlike standard videoconferencing, Avatour works on both WiFi and local LTE/5G networks, making it a suitable solution for field use with sparse connectivity. Avatour’s 360° view helps give stakeholders complete visibility into the construction site. With viewing autonomy, stakeholders, experts, and other visitors can explore the site on their own terms, choosing their viewpoint and interacting with people on site. Without sacrificing quality, the Avatour platform helped the Takenaka team not to travel frequently to construction sites.
