Overview Daiya Industry Co., Ltd., a medical device manufacturer operating the 'Experience-based Assist Suit Museum' in Tokyo and Okayama, will begin exhibiting and providing trial opportunities for the 'BELT POWER X' assist suit, developed by automotive parts manufacturer Yutaka Giken Co., Ltd., from May 2026.

Background In recent years, the adoption of assist suits has increased rapidly due to labor shortages and an aging population. However, because each product has different characteristics, there has been a challenge where users were unsure if a suit would fit their workplace without actually wearing it. The museum is operated as a facility where users can compare assist suits from multiple manufacturers at once to prevent such mismatches.

Features of BELT POWER X This product was developed by Yutaka Giken, an automotive parts manufacturer, based on challenges faced at their own factories. - **Load Reduction**: It disperses the weight of luggage throughout the body, reducing the burden on arms and shoulders by more than half. - **No Battery Required**: Since it does not use motors or electricity, there is no need to worry about running out of battery. - **Workability**: Users can perform PC work while wearing it. It also allows for easy switching of assist functions on and off by operating the belt.
