Fujifilm Corporation has partnered with Archie Systems to equip Fujifilm Smart Factory customers with AI-driven intelligent decision-making solutions to optimize production operations and maximize efficiency as a global leader in advanced surface mount technology (SMT) and automation solutions. Fujifilm Corporation has officially announced a strategic partnership with Archie Systems, a pioneer in AI-driven manufacturing intelligence. The collaboration aims to fully introduce AI guidance to the factories and users of Fujifilm SMT production lines worldwide. Archie Systems will provide Fujifilm SMT line users with AI-based action strategies that enable them to proactively respond to and solve various challenges in the production process. The system relies on AI agents that incorporate Fujifilm equipment expertise to automatically identify and diagnose a range of issues, including scrap rate suppression, abnormal error state treatment, line imbalance correction, and productivity improvement. By analyzing factory data and dashboard information in real time, AI generates actionable guidance and recommendations to help manufacturers optimize equipment uptime, increase productivity and yield, while reducing reliance on external professional support.
Takeshi Sato, Head of the SMT Business Unit and member of the Board of Directors of Fujifilm, said: "For a long time, Fujifilm has been committed to creating the most advanced and well-designed systems in the industry, which is highly praised in the industry. Through this collaboration, we are able to dig deeper and apply data and reporting throughout the SMT process, which marks an important step in the next phase of integrating AI-driven automated guidance into our equipment, not only for component mounting, but also for the entire SMT production line. To ensure maximum productivity. This collaboration further expands Fujifilm's vision of the Smart Factory to provide customers with end-to-end intelligent support to achieve superior results in the production process."
Through this partnership, Archie Systems will deeply embed AI-driven intelligent decision making solutions into Fujifilm's industry-leading solution system, effectively improving the user experience and helping manufacturers extend expert decision making capabilities to the entire production line. This AI-driven system enables customers to move from a traditional passive troubleshooting mode to a proactive optimization mode, driving SMT production efficiency and automation to new heights.
