ARAV is a startup that aims to DX and automate construction sites by providing solutions that enable advanced functions to be attached to existing construction equipment.
The construction industry is a huge growth industry with a market size of over $4T globally and $1T in Asia. Despite this, Japan is experiencing a serious labour shortage, with only 16.6% of the workforce attracted to the industry compared to the number of job vacancies, and with approximately 35% of the workforce aged 55 and over and 11% aged 29 and under, the industry is ageing more rapidly than other industries.
This problem is expected to be solved by DX of construction equipment, but it is not technically easy to develop solutions that can respond quickly to diverse construction sites and diverse construction equipment. Even if this could be achieved by specialised systems and machines, the cost would be too expensive to imprement them to the site.
Therefore, ARAV provides an unique remote control system that can be operated in real-time via the internet. The remote control system can be retrofitted to existing construction machineries, regardless of model, and can be remotely operated from any laptop PC or smartphone with an internet connection.
