In a region where the surveying industry is still largely dominated by 2D methods, Hayashi Survey Technical Consultant Inc. is leading the charge in introducing 3D technology to the surveying and geological mapping sector.
With a dedicated team of 15 employees, the company is proving that embracing modern technology can vastly improve both efficiency and quality in an otherwise traditional field.
We’ve gone from needing three or more people on-site to just two. This saves on labor costs and allows us to manage more projects with fewer resources. Last year, we doubled our sales while keeping the same size team. The efficiency improvements thanks to FARO have been huge.Tatsuo Hayashi, President of Hayashi Surveying
Key Takeaways:
- Time Savings: Scanning time has been drastically reduced — from 2 days to just half a day or even 1/8 of a day.
- Fieldwork Advantage: The FARO® Orbis™ Mobile Scanner simplifies surveying in challenging environments like forests, mountains, and tight spaces in urban areas, enabling users to scan by walking instead of moving cumbersome equipment.
- Scan Anywhere: Orbis can scan in GPS-limited areas like forests or indoors.
- Workforce Efficiency: Fieldwork now requires only two people, down from three or more.
- Doubling Productivity: Hayashi’s 15 employees can handle work that previously would have taken them 30 people.
- Sales Growth: In 2024, increased efficiency allowed Hayashi to take on additional work — and their sales doubled compared to their previous year.
