At TOA Corporation, I was responsible for project management in the implementation of remote operation and autonomous driving systems for sand spreading vessels used in port construction projects. Faced with declining worksite efficiency due to a shortage of skilled operators, we introduced a remote control system enabling a single operator to manage two excavators, while also conducting proof-of-concept trials to automate the full cycle—from excavation to swing and discharge. As part of the rollout, I led efforts to design intuitive user interfaces, ensure feedback accuracy, stabilize communications in variable worksite environments, and establish safety protocols including emergency response manuals. This comprehensive approach addressed both technical and operational challenges, successfully eliminating dependency on individual expertise. The resulting system achieved both high-precision performance and reduced labor intensity, earning recognition across the construction industry as a pioneering DX model for addressing workforce shortages through advanced automation.

東亜建設工業において、港湾工事に用いられる砂撒船の土砂投入作業に対する遠隔操作化および自動運転システム導入に関し、プロジェクトマネジメントを担当。熟練オペレータの減少により現場効率の低下が顕在化する中、1名で2台のバックホウを操作可能とするシステム導入と、掘削から旋回・投入までの一連動作の自動化に向けた実証実験を推進した。導入に際しては、操作UIやフィードバック精度の設計、現場環境に応じた通信安定性の確保、加えて安全対策としての非常時マニュアル整備など、技術面と運用面の両立を意識した体制構築を主導。これにより、熟練技能の属人化を解消しつつ、作業の高精度化と労務負荷軽減を両立する先端的なDXモデルとして、同業界内外から高い評価を得た。
