“Turning experts’ knowledge into algorithms”
The industrial plant industry had serious design-related issues such as personnel burden and environmental burden that had been left untouched. PlantStream was launched with a goal of bringing a definitive solution to the world by developing and providing an autonomous CAD software. It succeeded in turning experienced engineers’ expertise into algorithms and in digitizing work. As opposed to the conventional pipe routing method that would take four hours per pipe, the new solution is capable of determining the layout of 1,000 pipes per minute. This success led to the breakaway from the labor-intensive business model and also to the discovery of a clue to solving the problem of decline in the working population.
