2. Promotion Structure
In 2020, the Taisei Group established its Digital
Transformation (DX) Policy and DX Strategy in line with
the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry’s Digital
Governance Code. It then set up the cross-functional“Digital Transformation (DX) Promotion Committee”
and took a pioneering step in the constructionindustry by appointing a Chief Digital Officer (CDO).
The Digital Transformation (DX) Promotion
Committee is responsible for developing and planning DX promotion measures and monitoring theirexecution. Subcommittees under the committee,
composed of IT managers from various departments
and external experts, work on addressing challenges.
From FY2022 onwards, the “Digital Transformation
Strategy Planning & Acceleration Section” wasinaugurated within the Corporate Planning Office
to enhance the promotional framework. This step
was aimed at bolstering the acceleration andmonitoring of various DX initiatives, facilitating
collaboration across departments, and amplifying
support for the CDO.

Ensure quality and enhance productivity andsafety with applications that feature theT-iDigital® Field, a worksite management
system that utilizes data.

T-iCraft®: A Coordinated Control System forConstruction Machinery. Introduced at dam
construction sites, it emphasizes the expansionof unmanned and labor-saving operations.

As a platform for civil engineering DX, it’s deployed in approximately 30 different
construction projects.

The T-iCraft system controls the coordinated operation of various
types and models of construction machinery, integrating different
control systems and multiple units of autonomous construction
equipment. By coordinating operations with the T-iROBO seriesof construction machinery, a notable enhancement in productivity has been achieved. In 2022, it was utilized during theconstruction of the Namma Dam’s primary structure.
