Combined Technology Enables Dynamic Visitor Experiences at Panasonic Group Pavilion During the 2025 Osaka-Kansai Expo
Walnut Creek, CA – April 16, 2025 – Vantiq announced today a new collaboration with Obayashi Corporation to deliver real-time experiences at the Panasonic Group Pavilion “The Land of NOMO” during the 2025 Osaka-Kansai Expo. The global Expo is expected to draw over 28 million visitors from around the world, making it one of the most ambitious showcases of innovation, culture and future-shaping ideas this decade.
Powering this unprecedented experience will require more than infrastructure—it demands intelligence in real-time. That’s why Obayashi Corporation has integrated the Vantiq Intelligent Platform into WELCS place®—a smart building system engineered to instantly sense, analyze and respond to conditions like crowd movement, weather and on-site operations. This dynamic platform will serve as the real-time nervous system for the Panasonic Group Pavilion “The Land of NOMO,” and is set to play a critical role across the Expo, making Vantiq the engine behind one of the most intelligent environments ever built.
Originally designed to enhance comfort and safety across a wide range of facilities—including office buildings, shopping centers, hospitals, hotels and factories—WELCS place® uses intelligent data integration to support smarter environments. For the Expo pavilion, Obayashi selected Vantiq to enable instantaneous processing of real-time data, allowing the space to autonomously adapt to weather fluctuations and crowd dynamics.
“Expo 2025 represents an exciting opportunity to demonstrate how far intelligent platforms have come in managing complexity at an unprecedented scale,” said Marty Sprinzen, CEO of Vantiq. “When the technology fades into the background and what people remember is how effortless and extraordinary the experience felt—that’s the result of thousands of moving parts operating in perfect sync: safety, logistics, energy, flow, timing. That’s when you know the system did its job.”
Vantiq continues to evolve the Vantiq Intelligent Platform by integrating generative AI, including connections to large language models (LLMs) and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) frameworks. These capabilities are enabling systems to draw on intuition and human experience—factors that were previously difficult to translate into code—to make smarter, context-aware decisions in real time.
By combining WELCS place®’s proven services and operational knowledge with Vantiq’s real-time processing power and AI-driven adaptability, both companies aim to create intelligent environments that deliver optimal solutions the moment they’re needed.
