SHINSEGAE E&C is introducing the Meisa platform at all construction sites across the country. The most notable aspect of this decision is that it is not just a new introduction, but a strategic decision that completely replaced existing global solutions.
SHINSEGAE E&C chose a company-wide transformation beyond the trial operation phase of a single site. At the same time, we are also promoting automation of on-site operation and management based on autonomous drone stations. This is not just a tool replacement; it is a move aimed at digital transformation of the field operation system itself.
So why did SHINSEGAE E&C choose MEISA instead of a global solution that has been proven over a long period of time? Here are 3 key reasons that enabled a successful enterprise-wide operating system transition.
The “autonomous drone station-based operation automation” promoted by SHINSEGAE E&C is exactly in line with the future that the Meisa platform aims for.
The drone station itself is great hardware. The series of automatic takeoff according to the schedule, performing a mission, and then returning to charge is handled unmanned. However, hardware alone does not fully automate the work in the field. True efficiency can only be achieved when how to design an optimal flight path, how to quickly and accurately analyze the large amount of collected data, and how to output the results as a report are seamlessly connected within the platform.
Meisa built its own 3D mapping engine and autonomous flight linkage system to 'Route design → flight and shooting → data transmission → analysis → practical useThe entire workflow up to 'is handled automatically within a single platform. Site managers do not need to go to the site; they only need to connect to the platform to immediately check the analyzed data such as orthoscopic images, 3D models, comparison of construction changes, and earthwork volume calculation results. From flying the drone to checking the results report, the intervention time for practitioners is dramatically reduced.
Furthermore, “security,” which is an essential condition for adoption across large companies, is also well in place. Meisa has obtained GS Certification Level 1, a nationally recognized software quality certification, and an international standard information protection management system (ISO/IEC 27001:2022) certification. It provides a structure that maintains the highest level of security and reliability even on unmanned data collection flows.
There are also a number of 3D mapping platforms that process drone data in the global market. If you only look at simple specifications such as measurement accuracy or modeling quality, each has its own advantages and disadvantages, making a choice is difficult. And in the end, 'How accurately the platform understands and reflects the working language of the construction site'determines that choice.
Construction is an industry with different ordering methods, process flows, ready-made settlement standards, and drawing standards from country to country. When a global solution designed according to overseas standards is introduced to a domestic site, it is cumbersome for practitioners to process and transform the data one more time to match our established flow or drawing form. Solutions introduced to reduce work can also result in increased fragmented paperwork.
Meisa designed the platform according to each country's construction process. In particular, since there are many references in Korea, which is the main service, there were even more concerns and solutions about how to use the platform in practice. Functions immediately necessary for practical use, such as ready-made calculation based on earthwork volume and confirmation of construction errors through drawing overlays, are naturally incorporated into the platform. Thanks to this, design, construction, and ready-made data are matched on a single spatial data, and the headquarters and site do not require additional processing “Single Source of Truth (Single Source of Truth)” You will be able to communicate from above.
The real value of B2B platforms is proven not at the time of introduction, but at the actual operation stage. In particular, in the case of company-wide adoption, who and how to resolve questions from executive staff, data analysis requests, and field issues that occur simultaneously at dozens of sites accounts for more than half of the project's success.
In the case of a global solution, the manual may be well-equipped, but there are practical limitations where it is difficult to receive immediate technical support due to time differences, language barriers, and physical distance. It's not easy to find a partner who understands the busy schedule and complex context unique to the Korean scene and can solve problems in real time.
Meisa carefully monitors each site through AM (Account Manager) and TS (Technical Support) cells. Setting up precise drone infrastructure tailored to the characteristics of each site, onboarding training tailored to the eye level of the person in charge, and an agile cycle that immediately reflects feedback from practitioners in product advancement are the capabilities Meisa has built up most strongly by working with domestic construction sites. The reason why large-scale company-wide adoption can continue uninterrupted is that it is supported by Meisa's unique “operational know-how” accumulated by running directly through hundreds of sites.
Construction companies with the top domestic construction capability assessments, such as Daewoo E&C, DL E&C, HDC Hyundai Industrial Development, KCC E&C, and Umi E&C, have already introduced and operated the Meisa platform as a company-wide standard.
Drone platforms are now more than auxiliary tools at individual sites, and are becoming a 'standard operating infrastructure' for smart construction at the headquarters level. What the adoption of transcripts means is clear. Construction conditions and risks at all sites across the country will be accumulated as data on a single platform, and the head office will be able to make proactive decisions by monitoring them on the same basis.
In an age where data is the benefit and proof of the field, Meisa is building an unshakable foundation for the construction industry by integrating drones, satellites, and 3D spatial data.
