with rebuilding projects covering 2011’s catastrophic earthquake and tsunami, the upcoming
Olympic Games, and many other endeavors. However, Japanese construction companies,
especially small and medium-sized ones, are suffering from a worker shortage. Young workers are
not applying as frequently as in the past, and the new workers who are applying have much to learn.
In addition, the existing workforce is aging rapidly, further depleting the stock of skilled workers. In
order to alleviate these issues, Komatsu started providing Smart Construction, a system which
improves work efficiency and increases worker productivity by applying comprehensive worksite ICT.
In conjunction, OPTiM is providing Optimal Second Sight, its Visual Remote Service built around theaforementioned idea of Remote Experience Sharing. Remote Experience Sharing allows skilled

Press Releaseveteran workers to share their knowledge with inexperienced younger workers. Also, a skilledworker can, via remote experience sharing, cover a shortage of other skilled workers by remotely
supporting multiple workers simultaneously.
■Smart Construction examples
Construction sites will run smoother if presided over by a veteran worker who can remotely support
inexperienced workers in the operation of construction machines. Also, when a machine requires
maintenance, a worker can learn how to make repairs by acquiring the machine’s schematic
beforehand. This significantly decreases maintenance time.
