RX Japan G.K. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; Representative Executive Officer and President: Takeshi Tanaka) will host the '11th Manufacturing World [Nagoya],' the largest manufacturing exhibition in Central Japan, for three days from April 8 (Wednesday) to 10 (Friday), 2026, at Port Messe Nagoya.
The 'monozukuri' (craftsmanship/manufacturing) that supports our daily lives is not just about manufacturing sites and factories. Many everyday products are actually created using advanced manufacturing technologies.
Manufacturing World [Nagoya] will not only feature cutting-edge technologies in the automotive and aerospace fields but also exhibit products and services that can be immediately useful in workplaces, homes, and disaster sites.
How are technologies born in manufacturing sites being utilized to solve societal and daily life challenges?
You can experience the forefront of these innovations through actual equipment and demonstrations.
[Point ①] Addressing the Worsening Summer Heat
With increasingly severe heatwaves each year, heatstroke countermeasures that protect workers' lives, in addition to improving productivity at factories and work sites, have become an urgent issue. We will introduce the latest heatstroke prevention solutions cultivated on the front lines of manufacturing.

Utilizing know-how cultivated in medical and sports fields
The industry's first cooling garment that cools the body through water circulation. 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℃ or higher.
For heatstroke countermeasures in facilities such as workplaces and gymnasiums
An air conditioner that can deliver a large volume of air up to 20m away. It can deliver wind at 1m/s, which is said to lower the perceived temperature by 4℃, making it suitable for large facilities. It can carry air further than conventional air conditioners.
Achieving comfort, energy saving, and convenience
An air conditioning control service equipped with AI automatic tuning. Normally operates in "energy-saving control mode" to reduce power consumption. Achieves annual air conditioning energy savings while maintaining comfort.
Non-wetting mist with only air and water
A mobile mist cooler useful in a wide range of places such as forklifts and golf carts. Fine particle mist instantly vaporizes to cool the air and people. It has a cooling effect of an average of -8℃ or more.
[Point ②] Familiar Technologies Supporting Medical Sites and Homes
In response to the serious labor shortage in medical sites and the challenge of maintaining modern people's health, we will introduce products that reduce the burden on sites and support comfortable sleep, applying precision control and 3D printing technologies refined in factories.

New dimension of comfort. Next-generation 3D printed pillow
A next-generation pillow with a lattice structure integrally molded from a 3D printer, naturally supporting the head and neck. The three-dimensional lattice distributes load, maintaining a comfortable sleeping posture while offering excellent breathability.
Hospital autonomous mobile robot
Contributes to the automation and efficiency of transport operations by towing and transporting all kinds of hospital supplies such as meal carts, IV drips, and wheelchairs. Functions such as lifting and monitoring are also applicable.
[Point ③] Technologies Supporting Preparedness for Disasters and Accidents
Technologies for "preparedness" that minimize damage from unpredictable natural disasters and accidents using technology will be gathered.
<Exhibiting Companies - Partial Excerpt>
Instantly detect crises occurring around suppliers
Visualizes crises in real-time based on SNS, local news, and geopolitical risk information from around the world. Instantly grasps the damage status of the supply chain, impact on products, and delays in delivery.
Addressing the risk of battery fires
Introduces safety products that comprehensively address the risk of lithium-ion battery fires, which have rapidly increased in recent years, from emergency response to thermal runaway to fire risks during transport and storage.
Technology that changes 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, there is almost no residue after extinguishing.
Stand it up, connect it, and prevent it immediately!
A portable flood barrier that can be easily transported and quickly deployed for protection. It can be assembled quickly without tools. It demonstrates high water-stopping capability, significantly exceeding international standards.
[Special Project] Special Tour Guided by JR Tokai Employees
In addition to product and technology exhibits at the venue, this exhibition will feature for the first time a special project for visitors involved in manufacturing: the 'Special Guided Tour to Explore the Progress of Linear and Railway Technology.'
This special tour will charter the nearby "SCMAGLEV and Railway Park" after closing hours, with JR Tokai employees serving as guides.
It is an opportunity to learn about the long history of technological accumulation supporting transportation infrastructure and cutting-edge technologies looking to the future, from a "現場目線" (on-site perspective).
