App Overview:
PomPon is a work sharing system that aims to realize the "democratization" of the construction industry, specializing in remote management of construction sites and support for newcomers. It is a system that allows new generation site managers and veteran experts to cooperate across distances and liven up the site together. By sharing the video seen by the on-site staff in real time with the remote experts and sending accurate advice, it helps improve the safety and productivity of the site.
Main Purpose and Concept:
1. Remote On-site Support
This is a monitoring and communication system that supports site leaders who are working alone on the site and are aiming to become a full-fledged person. Since the site and the veteran in a remote location are always connected by video, it is also possible to notify checkpoints that inexperienced site leaders cannot notice from a remote location.
2. Efficient Work Sharing
Veterans in remote locations can watch over multiple sites and can make a video call with the site leader with one tap. Since each site cannot see other sites, the site leader can concentrate on his own site, and it is also safe from a security standpoint. In addition, since multiple people can watch over veterans, it is possible to create teams and share work based on working hours and the veterans' areas of expertise.
3. Sharing knowledge and skills
Through the system, veterans' tacit knowledge and experience can be shared in real time.
Even if you don't have to write a manual with text or photos, you can communicate verbally over video calls, so even those who are reluctant to create documents can share their know-how. In the construction industry, where priorities and decisions change depending on the situation on site, it is difficult to document and flexible responses are required, so video communication can be used effectively.
Main functions (features) of the PomPon site app: The PomPon system has various functions to meet the unique needs of construction sites.
• Always-on connection and easy entry: You can easily connect with your office PC and your everyday mobile phone. Once you have registered the room, you can enter the room with one click at any time. On-site and remote managers can always connect, enabling real-time site management.
• Image quality adjustment function: Normally, the frame rate is set to prevent screen sickness, but if you want to check the details, you can set it to high image quality mode with one click. It can also be used for remote on-site public works.
• Independent dialogue between the site and the remote expert: The remote expert acts as a hub, enabling smooth and secure dialogue with multiple sites independently. Confidential information related to the construction of each site is safely protected, and advice can be received in real time. Even when multiple sites are connected, conversations can be conducted on independent circuits.
• Support for training new employees: On-site personnel can easily switch between the front and rear cameras of their mobile phones. Remote experts can check not only the situation on site, but also the expressions of new employees to see if the instructions have been properly conveyed. This leads to reduced costs in training new employees. New employees on site can receive real-time instruction and work with peace of mind.
• Real-time sharing of the site situation: Remote experts can share what the site personnel are seeing in real time. It is possible to send advice from the perspective of a supervisor on management points that are difficult for new employees to notice.
• Support for diverse work styles: Since remote management and instruction are possible, it is possible to create opportunities for diverse human resources, such as veterans who have retired from the site, to utilize their experience.
• Secure communication: Conversations and support content in each room are independent, so there is no need to worry about information leaking to the outside.
Video call function: You can start a video call with a remote PC with one click from the app.
Examples of use:
• At a site where an on-site survey is required, a craftsman connects to the site with PomPon and creates an estimate while checking the situation with the office.
• During an internal check before delivery, a new employee connects to the site with PomPon and receives guidance while checking the checkpoints together.
• At a site where multiple types of work work together, the screen is shared, the relevant parties exchange opinions and formulate a construction plan.
• The on-site situation is shared with the entire company at morning and afternoon meetings to strengthen teamwork.
Differences from other tools (Zoom, etc.): PomPon is specialized in on-site management and support for new employees in the construction industry, and has different purposes and functions from Zoom, an online conferencing tool. PomPon can be connected at all times, supports detailed checks in high-definition mode, and has a secure independent dialogue function for each site and specialized functions for training new employees.
