"Experiential" Specialized Exhibition "12th Heatstroke Countermeasures Exhibition" to Promote Mandatory Heatstroke Measures for Companies to be Held

The Japan Management Association (JMA, Chairman: Masami Nakamura) will hold the "12th Heatstroke Countermeasures Exhibition," a "hands-on" specialized exhibition aimed at promoting mandatory heatstroke measures for companies, for three days from July 15 (Wed) to 17 (Fri), 2026, at Tokyo Big Sight East Halls 7 & 8.

The number of exhibitors, 190 companies/377 booths, will be the highest ever, expanding to East Hall 8 in addition to East Hall 7 from last year. The number of expected visitors is 18,000 (including concurrently held exhibitions in East Halls 7 & 8).

In recent years, dangerous heat exceeding 40°C has occurred in various regions, increasing the importance of heatstroke countermeasures. Furthermore, revisions to the Industrial Safety and Health Act require enhanced heatstroke measures in the workplace. This exhibition will bring together the latest products and services useful for heat countermeasures for businesses, companies, local governments, and schools, and will disseminate information for problem-solving.

At the venue, products for heatstroke countermeasures, such as those that prevent heatstroke using AI and IoT technology, products employing scientific approaches to cool people directly, and products for heat countermeasures in factories, logistics, and construction sites, will be exhibited and can be experienced firsthand, with the aim of creating a safe working environment and a comfortable living environment.

As heatstroke countermeasures are mandated for companies by law revisions from 2025 onwards, we hope this exhibition, focusing on keywords such as "Heat Risk Management using AI and IoT Technology," "Wearable Devices," "Spot Air Conditioning," and "Radiative Cooling Technology," will be useful for planning products that protect people working in extreme heat and high temperatures.

Highlights of the 12th Heatstroke Countermeasures Exhibition (Excerpts)

Trend 1: Preventing Heatstroke with AI and IoT Technology

Solutions that strengthen heatstroke prevention and safety management in the field by "detecting," "monitoring," and "displaying/notifying/alerting," such as visualizing and notifying heat risk from now to several hours later with AI cameras, monitoring employee status with smartwatch-type wearable devices, and centrally managing heat risk with cloud-based systems, will be introduced.

Exhibitor: POLA MEDICAL

Booth Number: 7-K16

https://kaokara.jp/

This is an AI camera that determines heat risk in approximately 3 seconds. Utilizing proprietary AI technology based on research data from the POLA ORBIS Group, it specializes in "detecting" risk. It determines not only the current risk but also the heat risk approximately 2 to 3 hours in advance. It notifies administrators when high risk is detected, supporting communication and safety measures in the field.

Exhibitor: TECHNO CRAFT

Booth Number: 8-Q06

https://tecraft.co.jp/wellness/wellnavi/

TECHNO BAND is a smartwatch-type wearable that monitors the health and safety of people working in construction sites and factories. It supports heatstroke countermeasures and safety management during dangerous work, and assists in rapid rescue operations by sharing heatstroke risks and SOS signals through a buddy function. It also supports monitoring during solo work.

Exhibitor: OAK INFORMATION SYSTEMS

Booth Number: 7-E13

https://www.oakis.co.jp/sismil/

SisMil is a cloud-based monitoring system that automatically measures and centrally manages environmental data such as the heat index (WBGT). It supports remote monitoring of multiple locations, enabling rapid grasp of heat risk and implementation of safety measures. Furthermore, it enables immediate sharing with the site through digital signage and voice broadcasting.

Trend 2: Scientific Approaches to Directly Cool People

Solutions that directly cool people and protect their physical condition through scientific approaches, such as a system that suppresses core body temperature rise by cooling the forearms, a product that can quickly cool the entire body with a single touch in emergencies, and a body water meter that visualizes daily hydration status, will be introduced.

Exhibitor: ZENSUI CO., LTD.

Booth Number: 7-ZC25

https://www.zensui.co.jp/

The new standard for heatstroke countermeasures! Lowering core body temperature is important for heatstroke prevention. By immersing the forearms in chilled water controlled by a chiller, the AVA (arteriovenous anastomosis) in the palms and the blood vessels on the body surface are efficiently cooled. The circulation of cooled blood is expected to lower core body temperature. Please experience the "Forearm Cooling Cool Station" at our booth.

Exhibitor: ICE BATH IGARASHI

Booth Number: 7-T24

https://www.igarashi-ltd.co.jp/

We will be exhibiting the topical new product "One-Touch Ice Bath." It can be set up easily and quickly by anyone, and can rapidly cool the bodies of heatstroke patients.

It efficiently cools the upper body with a small amount of water and is also ideal for storage due to its compact design. We will also be conducting setup experience sessions at our booth, so please come and visit.

Trend 3: Heat Countermeasures for Factories, Logistics, and Construction Sites

A wide range of "cooling and shielding technologies" will be gathered, from spot coolers, wearable air conditioners, evaporative cooling x fan hybrid cooling, and heat-shielding material wear to shading nets and heat-shielding artificial turf. Latest solutions that comprehensively support heatstroke countermeasures in factories, logistics, and construction sites will be introduced.

Exhibitor: DAIKIN INDUSTRIES, LTD.

Booth Number: 8-B13

https://www.daikin.co.jp/

This is a high-airflow air conditioner suitable for large spaces such as factories and logistics warehouses. By delivering air up to 20 meters, it achieves efficient cooling even in large spaces. It contributes to improving harsh working environments and enhancing comfort. In the indoor booth and outdoor experience area, you can actually experience the airflow and coolness of this unit operating in cooling mode. Please visit our booth!

Exhibitor: BROTHER INDUSTRIES, LTD.

Booth Number: 7-X24

https://www.brother.co.jp/product/air/special/index.aspx

The spot cooler PureDrive, equipped with Brother's unique "TwinAqua" two-stage evaporative cooling technology, achieves comfortable cooling with no exhaust heat (exhaust temperature is lower than outside air). It is energy-saving, reduces CO2 emissions, and features a quiet and compact design. With a diverse lineup including stationary and industrial vehicle types, it meets a wide range of site needs. Please experience it at the Brother booth.

Exhibitor: GO KENCHIKU

Booth Number: 7-ZG12

https://www.go-kenchiku.com/

Rapidly resets heatstroke risk. "CoolBag" efficiently cools the body by local cooling at 20°C skin temperature for 10 minutes. It suppresses the rise in core body temperature and supports reduction of heart rate burden and fatigue. This is a genuine cooling system using refrigerant, making its debut in Japan.

Exhibitor: AQUATEC

Booth Number: 7-U09

https://www.aquatec.co.jp/

With the mandatory implementation of heatstroke countermeasures for business owners, the adoption of fan-equipped clothing is accelerating. However, concerns are increasing about its effectiveness on extremely hot and scorching days, leading to increased attention on products that complement fan-equipped clothing. Experience the evolved Aqua Water Vest, an "Uchimizu Inner" that uses evaporative cooling of water, is lightweight and requires no battery!

Exhibitor: HARADA SANGYO CO., LTD.

Booth Number: 7-ZE18

https://www.haradacorp.co.jp/

We will exhibit an innovative air-conditioning fan equipped with the highest class of Peltier elements. In addition to the cooling effect of evaporative heat, it achieves high cooling performance that combines airflow and coolness through cooling by Peltier elements. By combining it with recommended wear, we propose a more comfortable working environment. At the venue, we will provide cooling plates and trial wear so you can experience the coolness firsthand.

Exhibitor: NIHON MATAI CO., LTD.

Booth Number: 8-B04

https://www.matai.co.jp/

"Bounce back the heat!" Nihon Matai will introduce a temperature rise suppression solution that reflects near-infrared rays and prevents heat before it builds up.

Its effectiveness can be easily experienced through temperature comparisons using a thermal camera and case studies of its implementation.
