BuildTech
Topcon Building Construction Solution Center in Tokyo
Promoting DX in the construction industry
to be Japan's first* hands-on digital measurement experience facility
"BuildTech" was established at Topcon Corporation's headquarters to provide visitors with hands-on experience of construction DX (Digital Transformation) solutions by creating a demo space that simulates a real construction site.
The entire indoor space reproduces a wide range of construction site conditions, and allows visitors to experience 3D digital measurement at each step of the construction process: marking (positioning), installation, and inspection.
Visitors can systematically learn and understand Topcon's building construction solutions, including the linkage of measured data with BIM data and how it can be used at construction sites.
