Made into the shape of a cushion, our independently developed SR sensors are installed into the surface of the driver’s seat to detect the driver’s heart rate, breathing, body motion and other factors based on changes in pressure on the seat. The system estimates fatigue, drowsiness, signs of sudden illness and other conditions from the observed data and can connect to services such as alerting the driver, generating the driving support system or sending an external notification.

Monilife Wellness was developed to monitor vital signs of people when sleeping. Its soft thin composition enables it to be easily placed on a mattress without interrupting sleep.

The Monilife Platform is a cloud service that stores and analyzes data on vital signs collected by the Monilife Mobility and Monilife Wellness. Using algorithms independently developed through joint research with universities, it can also estimate “sleep quality” and sleeping conditions.

Utilizing polymer materials technology, we made a high-heat insulating filler (silica aerogel) containing nanopores small enough to block the passage of air, into a coating liquid. Then, by coating base materials such as non-woven fabric and molded resin, this can achieve high-heat insulation properties at a level of still air or higher. As mobility moves toward electric vehicles (EVs), all energy needs to be supplied by electricity. As such, this product increases the effectiveness of cooling and heating and contributes to extending cruising distance. In addition to use in vehicles, this has already been used with food deliveries and the transportation of COVID-19 vaccines and we anticipate that it can be used in various other fields.

We have improved the Finesulight™ compound bonder technology and developed an insulator for lithium-ion batteries in electric vehicles (EV) which can withstand high temperatures of several hundred degrees Celsius. It suppresses heat chains from developing between adjacent cells in the case of extraordinary heat surges and avoids major incidents which can cause fires in the vehicle. We aim to optimize this insulator by making further adjustments to the insulation performance, hardness and other factors in line with customer requirements.

This cover contains both flame retardant and fire resistant materials that can withstand 10 minutes of flames at 1,000℃. By using this cover on batteries in EVs and other vehicles, it contributes to the safety of passengers in case of accident or fire.
