The company's headquarters are in Silicon Valley, USA, with offices in Australia and Canada.

Macnica has entered into a partnership with SafeAI in Japan, sharing the vision of accelerating the automation of construction sites and contributing to solving the shortage of human resources, and providing total solutions for construction machinery automation.

About the online seminar

Due to the labor shortage associated with the declining birthrate and aging population, the promotion of DX has become essential at construction sites in Japan.
Automation of construction machinery (autonomous driving) plays an important role in DX at construction sites.

However, although the development of autonomous driving by construction machinery manufacturers is accelerating, in order to automate on-site operations, it is necessary to automate the existing construction machinery that is already in operation.
The American company SafeAI is one of the first to work on the automation of existing construction machinery.

SafeAI社は、既存の建設機械に後付けすることで自動化のできる「レトロフィットモジュール」や、様々な環境下に対応した建設機械の自動運転ソフトウェアなど、建設機械の自動化を実現するソリューションを総合的に開発、提供しています。

Therefore, in this seminar, titled "Present and Future of Construction DX", Mr. Bibhrajit, founder and CEO of SafeAI, will be the guest speaker. Mr. Bibhrajit explained construction DX from various perspectives, including examples and initiatives in the Japanese market.

after the online seminar

Despite the fact that the seminar was held early in the morning, a total of 139 people applied.
Also, because it was a 45-minute interview format that included translation, it was a very rushed event, but there were no major problems, and the event ended on a high note.

In addition, during the Q&A session after the session, we received a large number of questions about technologies and specifications related to the automation of construction machinery, how to promote projects, and so on.
Due to time constraints, we were not able to answer all the questions, but we were able to gain a good understanding of what kind of information the viewers were expecting, so we are planning future seminars. I would like to use it as a reference.

In addition, in the questionnaire responses after the seminar, "This seminar is easy to understand, autonomous driving it will be the first step of what to start from now on." I was able to deepen my understanding.” We received many positive opinions and impressions from everyone involved in the industry, and I feel that the seminar was highly evaluated as a highly satisfying seminar.

Through this seminar, I once again realized that there is a strong sense of issues such as labor shortages at construction sites, and that the need for automation of construction machinery is increasing.
At Macnica, we would like to continue supporting our customers by accumulating even more knowledge and experience and strengthening our solutions so that we can fully respond to the various feedback we received at this seminar.
