Easing Fatigue in Food Production: Archelis at FOOMA JAPAN 2026

Archelis Inc., a forward-thinking company based in Yokohama, Japan, will make its mark at one of the world’s largest food manufacturing exhibitions, FOOMA JAPAN 2026, taking place from June 2 to June 5, 2026, at Tokyo Big Sight. In this vital event, Archelis will present its groundbreaking 'Stabi Series' of stainless steel standing support devices designed to significantly reduce fatigue for factory workers engaged in long hours of standing work.

About FOOMA JAPAN 2026

FOOMA JAPAN, organized by the Japan Food Machinery Manufacturers' Association, boasts an impressive lineup this year with over 1,025 exhibitors. In light of the escalating labor shortages and an aging workforce within the food manufacturing sector, there is a pressing need for solutions that alleviate the physical strain of standing work while maintaining productivity levels. Archelis aims to meet this demand by showcasing their stainless steel products, which adhere to the stringent hygiene standards required in food factories, allowing visitors to experience them firsthand.

At the company’s booth WA-IS-04, located within the Startup Zone at the Innovation Hub in the West Exhibition Hall, visitors can experience live demonstrations of the Stabi Series including Stabi Half, Stabi Full, and Stabi Lift. These solutions target the considerable strain caused by prolonged standing during tasks like sorting, quality inspection, and packaging.

In addition, Archelis will participate in a pitch presentation focusing on improvement strategies for standing tasks from a management perspective, scheduled for June 3rd, 2026.

Features of the Stabi Series

1. Hygienic Stainless Steel Design: Specially tailored for food factories, these devices utilize a corrosion-resistant material, ideal for environments involving water.
2. Burden Reduction: By allowing users to lean against the devices, they can distribute their weight, significantly reducing pressure on the feet. For instance, using Stabi Half decreases foot pressure by approximately 33%, according to internal measurements.
3. Easy Installation: No electrical power is required, and the devices can be set up beside assembly lines without extensive renovations needed.
4. Compact and Adjustable: Designed to fit into tight workspaces, they offer height adjustments to suit various body types.
5. Improved Focus and Work Environment: By alleviating fatigue, these devices help maintain work quality while ensuring a better labor environment.

Real-World Applications at Food Factories

The Stabi Series has been effectively implemented in several sectors of food production where prolonged standing is commonplace, including sorting, quality control, and packaging processes. The device is specifically beneficial in environments where traditional seating is not feasible. Inquiries regarding the appropriate selection of products tailored to specific work conditions can be made at the Archelis booth.

Success Story: Yamafuku Suisan Co., Ltd.

For instance, Yamafuku Suisan, a seafood processing company located in Yaizu City, Shizuoka, has integrated the Stabi Half during their tuna and bonito inspection processes, significantly improving worker comfort and productivity.
