Development and construction example of automatic operation system for ground improvement construction machine

Abstract

In recent years, the Japanese construction industry has faced the challenge of improving the efficiency and productivity of construction works. Therefore, an automatic operation system for deep mixing (hereafter referred to as GeoPilot-AutoPile) has been developed using ICT. This system has been applied to several actual sites and has ensured smooth construction, high efficiency, and good quality comparable to the manual operation by experienced operators. The application of GeoPilot-AutoPile has also been extended to small-type deep mixing machines, enabling its use in a wide range of site conditions, such as narrow areas or height-restricted areas.
