MinebeaMitsumi to be a Special Sponsor of PASONA NATUREVERSE

Original press release dated October 30, 2024

MinebeaMitsumi Inc. will be a special sponsor of the PASONA NATUREVERSE Pavilion by the Pasona Group Inc. at the Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, Japan (Osaka, Kansai Expo), which will be held in Yumeshima, Osaka from Sunday, April 13 to Monday, October 13, 2025.

The Pasona Pavilion, one of the private sector pavilions at the expo, is scheduled to host various exhibitions around the theme of “Body, Mind, and Bonds” based on the concept of “Thank you, Life.”
As an official partner of the Pasona Pavilion, MinebeaMitsumi will exhibit a concept bed that uses its Bed Sensor System™^*1 to allow users to experience the future of sleep in the Future of Sleep area, found within the Body Zone.

Utilizing strain gages, a technological element that forms the core of MinebeaMitsumi’s sensor business, this Bed Sensor System is able to measure and display vital information in real time by simply installing it under the four legs of a bed, without the need to attach any measuring equipment to the user’s body. As the sensors are installed under bed legs, they can be easily installed on existing beds. These sensors are non-invasive and non-contact yet capable of accurately grasping the body movements of the user in a stable manner, making it possible to easily monitor weight^*2 and body movements with minimal strain on the body.

At the Osaka, Kansai Expo, MinebeaMitsumi will exhibit a concept bed to allow users to experience the future of sleep in the Future of Sleep area supervised by Professor Emeritus Masaru Mimura of Keio University. This concept bed not only measures the user’s physical condition, including body weight^*2, body movement, respiratory rate, and heart rate with conventional non-invasive bed sensors; it also uses various mechanisms that are controlled in accordance with the measured body conditions and changes to ensure good quality sleep and a comfortable awakening experience, recreating the future of sleep optimal for each individual user.

In addition, MinebeaMitsumi’s LED Smart Lighting SALIOT (Smart Adjustable Light for the Internet Of Things), which allows the user to control beautiful light as they wish, will be used in the Future of Sleep area and “NATUREVERSE SHOP”. By freely adjusting the orientation of light, light distribution angle, color temperature, and so on, the user can create a more comfortable living environment and space.

MinebeaMitsumi is working to develop a wide range of businesses with the aim of realizing a sustainable society. Realizing the future of sleep with MinebeaMitsumi’s unique technologies, this special sponsorship embodies MinebeaMitsumi’s corporate philosophy of contributing to the realization of a sustainable, eco-friendly, and prosperous society by providing better products at a faster speed, in larger numbers, at a lower cost, and by smarter means.
MinebeaMitsumi will continue to create new value through differences that go beyond common sense as it researches, develops, manufactures, and sells products that help create a more vibrant society together with customers across a wider range of industries.
