WACO Corp. Unveils Redesigned ‘ATLAS’ Smart
Public Water Refill Station Following Successful Tokyo PoC

The company has completely transformed the exterior of ATLAS, introducing a futuristic
design tailored to harmonize with public spaces. The redesigned exterior enhances
the product’s visual quality while conveying the reliability and stability expected
of equipment installed in public spaces. The redesign shifts ATLAS from a purely
functional water dispenser toward a user-centered smart public water solution.

The newly designed ATLAS units were installed at two supermarkets in Shinjuku, Tokyo,
in November 2025 for the PoC. Rather than a simple exhibition, the stations were
deployed in actual commercial facilities, allowing local consumers to interact with
the product directly and provide feedback based on real-world usage.

Through on-site interviews and surveys, ATLAS received exceptional ratings across
key metrics, including product design, water taste, temperature, and reliability
of purification performance. The high level of consumer trust in its purification
capabilities, combined with positive feedback on the actual drinking experience,
confirmed the strong market applicability of ATLAS as a public water system.

**ATLAS Core Features:**

 ◦ **Advanced Purification:** Delivers safe drinking water at various temperatures,
   including ambient and cold, utilizing a multi-stage purification system.
 ◦ **Hygiene Management:** Equipped with UV LED technology for comprehensive hygiene
   control, along with dedicated tumbler washing and sterilization functions.
 ◦ **Eco-Friendly Refilling:** Enables seamless water refilling using personal tumblers
   and reusable containers.
 ◦ **Smart Management:** Supports IoT-based product status monitoring, digital signage
   for information delivery, and smart maintenance features optimized for public
   facility operators.

Moving beyond the traditional role of a simple water fountain, ATLAS is positioned
as a next-generation public water solution that integrates purification, hygiene,
eco-friendly refilling, and smart management into a single, cohesive system.

Building on more than 20 years of manufacturing expertise in the water purification
industry, WACO exports its internationally certified products to over 70 countries.
Building on its robust technological capabilities in residential and commercial 
water purifiers, the company is actively expanding its business portfolio into public
drinking water and smart water infrastructure.

Encouraged by the positive consumer response from the Japanese PoC, WACO plans to
accelerate the commercialization of ATLAS in the Japanese market. Building on the
results of the Tokyo PoC, WACO plans to accelerate the commercialization of ATLAS
in Japan while pursuing broader opportunities for deployment in global markets.
