RX Japan Ltd. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; President & CEO: Takeshi Tanaka) will host the 11th Manufacturing World [Nagoya], one of the largest trade shows for the manufacturing industry in the Chubu region, for three days from Wednesday, April 8 to Friday, April 10, 2026, at Port Messe Nagoya.
The “monozukuri” (manufacturing) that supports our lives is not limited to manufacturing sites and factories. Many products familiar in our daily lives are actually created using advanced manufacturing technologies.
Manufacturing World [Nagoya] will exhibit not only advanced technologies in the automotive and aerospace fields but also products and services that can be immediately effective in workplaces, homes, and disaster sites.
How are the technologies born in manufacturing sites helping to solve societal and daily life issues?
You can experience the forefront of this through actual machines and demonstrations.
[Point ①] Responding to the Worsening Summer Heat
As heatwaves become more severe each year, heat countermeasures have become an urgent issue, not only for improving productivity in factories and work sites but also for protecting the lives of workers. We will introduce the latest heat countermeasure solutions cultivated on the front lines.
Utilizing know-how cultivated in the medical and sports fields
An industry-first cooling vest that cools the body by circulating water. With patented icing technology, it protects the working body from heat. It has achieved improved cooling performance that provides a cooling sensation even in extreme heat environments of 35°C or higher.
Company: Nippon Sigmax Co., Ltd.
For heat countermeasures in facilities such as workshops and gymnasiums
An air conditioner that can send a large volume of air up to 20 meters away. It can deliver a wind speed of 1 m/s, which is said to lower the perceived temperature by 4°C, making it suitable for a wide range of facilities. It can carry wind farther than conventional air conditioners.
Company: RYODEN Corporation
Achieving comfort, energy saving, and convenience
An air conditioning control service equipped with an AI automatic tuning function. It operates in 'energy-saving control mode' during normal times to reduce electricity consumption. It achieves annual air conditioning energy savings while maintaining comfort.
Company: Kansai Electric Power Co., Inc.
A non-wetting mist made of only air and water
A mobile mist cooler useful in a wide range of places, such as forklifts and golf carts. The fine particle mist evaporates instantly to cool the air and people. It has an average cooling effect of -8°C or more.
Company: Toyoko Support Co., Ltd.
[Point ②] Familiar Technologies Supporting Medical Sites and Homes
In response to the challenges of labor shortages in the medical field and maintaining the health of modern people, we will introduce products that reduce the burden on-site and support comfortable sleep, applying precision control and 3D printing technologies polished in factories.
A new dimension of sleeping comfort. Next-generation 3D printed pillow
A next-generation pillow with a lattice structure molded as a single piece by a 3D printer, naturally supporting the head and neck. The three-dimensional lattice disperses load, maintaining a comfortable sleeping posture while also providing excellent breathability.
Company: APPLE TREE Co., Ltd.
Autonomous mobile robot for hospitals
Contributes to the automation and efficiency of transport tasks by towing and transporting all kinds of materials within the hospital, such as meal carts, IV drips, and wheelchairs. Other functions like lifting and monitoring are also applicable.
Company: 346 Co., Ltd.
[Point ③] Technology to Support Preparedness for Disasters and Accidents
Technologies for 'preparedness' that minimize damage from unpredictable natural disasters and accidents with technology will be gathered.
Instantly detect crises occurring around suppliers
Visualizes crises in real-time based on information from social media, local news, and geopolitical risk information from around the world. Instantly grasp the damage status of the supply chain, the impact on products, and delivery delays.
Company: Spectee Inc.
Responding to the risk of battery fires
In preparation for the recent surge in lithium-ion battery fires, we will introduce safety measure products that provide a total response, from emergency handling of thermal runaway to fire risks during transportation and storage.
Company: A.M. Products, Inc.
Technology that will change the concept of conventional fire extinguishers
Nanoparticle fire extinguishing technology effective for vehicle fires, cooking oil fires, and electrical fires. Since it uses neither powder nor water, it can extinguish fires with almost no residue.
Company: Konan Kogyo Co., Ltd.
Set up, connect, and protect immediately!
An easily transportable and quickly deployable flood barrier. Can be assembled quickly without tools. Demonstrates a high water-stopping capacity that far exceeds international standards.
Company: S-Yon Co., Ltd.
[Special Project] Special Tour Guided by JR Central Employees
In addition to the product and technology exhibitions at the venue, this exhibition will for the first time conduct a 'Special Guided Tour to Explore the Progress of SCMaglev and Railway Technology' as a special project for visitors involved in the manufacturing industry.
The 'SCMAGLEV and Railway Park' adjacent to the venue will be exclusively booked after closing, and JR Central employees will act as guides.
