MAKERZ Inc. (Headquarters: Kita-ku, Osaka; President & CEO: Yohei Hashimoto), a new venture 100% funded by KEYENCE Corporation, has launched general sales of the 'Heat Core Band,' a heatstroke prevention wristband, on Amazon.

Heatstroke is a serious annual issue causing loss of life and health. Risks are rising not only in outdoor work but also in commuting, sports, and everyday situations. The danger of heatstroke lies in how difficult it is to notice—by the time someone collapses, it’s already too late.

The Heat Core Band combines an ultra-thin 11mm design with no charging required and approximately 5 months of operation. Thanks to its proprietary low-power design, it achieves both slimness and long battery life. So thin you’ll forget you’re wearing it, it protects you throughout an entire season. The Heat Core Band was developed with a focus on being something 'anyone can use immediately and without hesitation,' 'something that doesn’t interfere with daily life,' and 'something easy to wear every day.'

Features

Warning Heatstroke Risk from the Wrist

Data is collected from two sensors—body surface temperature and ambient temperature—and analyzed using a proprietary algorithm to assess heatstroke risk. It detects risks that body temperature alone cannot capture, issuing warnings before collapse occurs.

Two-Stage Alert: For the Wearer and Those Nearby

Warnings are issued via LED, buzzer (79dB), and vibration, depending on the risk level. In the 'Caution' stage, vibration alerts the wearer. In the 'Alert' stage, both sound and vibration activate, notifying not only the wearer but also people nearby.

11mm Thin: So Slim You’ll Forget You’re Wearing It

The main unit is only 11mm thick. It won’t catch on sleeves and won’t hinder movement in any situation. Its matte black finish blends naturally into everyday outfits.

No Operation, No Charging: Wear It and It Works for 5 Months

Thanks to an ultra-low power circuit design, it operates for about 5 months on a single CR1632 coin battery. No operation or charging is required—just put it on each morning. That’s all it takes to stay protected all season.

IP67 Rated: Washable While Worn

No need to remove it in rainy conditions or when washing hands.

Magnetic Band for One-Touch Attachment

Features a buckle-free magnetic silicone band. It snaps securely at any position, fitting wrists of all sizes—from adults to children. Can be attached and removed one-handed, even while wearing gloves.

Target Use Cases

Construction and worksites

Logistics and warehouses

Sports events
