Device Agency to Exhibit at INTEX Osaka "Hotel & Restaurant Show Kansai 2026" - Live Demos of "AdvaNceD IoT Smart Check-in" for Unmanned Front Desks

Experience Live Smart Check-in Demos at INTEX Osaka, Booth 5-Z13

Background for Exhibition: Addressing the Accommodation Industry's "Labor Shortage" and "Rapid Inbound Expansion"

The accommodation industry continues to see a recovery in demand and a surge in inbound tourists following the pandemic. However, securing personnel for front desk operations is becoming increasingly difficult each year. The burden on front desk staff is growing, encompassing tasks such as handling late-night check-ins, multilingual customer service, and identity verification.

The introduction of unmanned check-in systems compliant with the Innkeeping Business Act, Special Zone Minpaku, and the New Minpaku Act is gaining attention as a key solution for hotel DX and labor-saving in accommodation facilities.

Device Agency Inc. has been providing IoT solutions for the hotel and accommodation industry since 2016. At this exhibition, we will propose solutions to the challenges faced by accommodation facilities, focusing on live demonstrations that allow visitors to experience firsthand the "unmanned and labor-saving" front desk operations.

Exhibition Contents

It features multilingual display support in 13 languages and is compatible with existing PMS (Property Management Systems) and various room key systems (card locks, smart locks, cylinder locks, etc.). At the venue, you can see live demonstrations of the entire product lineup:

2. Cashless for Coin Laundry

A solution to make coin laundries in hotels and accommodation facilities cashless. It reduces the hassle of cash collection and change machine management, contributing to improved convenience for inbound guests.

3. Luggage Dock (Luggage Storage Solution)

A solution that streamlines luggage storage before check-in and after check-out. It creates an environment where guests can securely store their luggage even during times when staff are not present.

Booth Highlights: Hands-on Exhibition to "See and Touch" Live Units

The biggest highlight of this exhibition is the opportunity to experience the actual check-in operation flow firsthand with live units, which is difficult to convey through catalogs or websites. Visitors can try the check-in process from a guest's perspective and understand the operational flow from a manager's perspective. For those considering implementation, our staff will be available for individual consultations at the venue.

Representative's Comment

> "Labor shortage has moved beyond the stage of 'getting by with ingenuity' and has become a management issue that must be solved with systems. Our smart check-in system has received numerous positive comments from facilities that have implemented it, such as 'we no longer need overnight front desk staff' and 'handling foreign guests has become easier.' We believe that experiencing the product firsthand is the most effective way to convey its benefits, which is why we have prepared an experiential booth this time. We look forward to welcoming everyone involved in the operation of accommodation facilities."

Minoru Tanaka, Representative Director, Device Agency Inc.

Future Outlook

Device Agency Inc. will continue to expand its IoT solutions to support labor-saving and DX promotion in hotels and accommodation facilities. With the further expansion of inbound demand in mind, we plan to strengthen multilingual support, expand compatible PMS and lock systems, and develop plans that are easy for small and medium-sized accommodation facilities to adopt.
