Sanki Kogyo (1961) announced on the 25th that it has begun using generative AI for internal operations in order to improve work efficiency and productivity. It will be gradually introduced from 2024/4, and is scheduled to be rolled out to all group employees by the end of 2024.

By utilizing generative AI, implementation details and points to keep in mind can be easily generated and confirmed even by site personnel with few years of experience or construction content involved for the first time. In addition to improving work efficiency, it is also useful for preventing trouble arising from lack of knowledge or lack of experience, and is useful for improving construction quality.

In order to utilize in-house know-how, a RAG system using Microsoft's Azure OpenAI Service was constructed, and a highly secure generation AI usage environment that can be accessed from an internal network was realized.

In the future, new generative AI functions such as multimodal AI will be quickly verified, and in addition to utilizing technical know-how and using it as a question-answering tool, it is anticipated that proposed use will include analysis of equipment operation data, planning support for design and construction, and prediction of energy efficiency for carbon neutrality.
