Fuji and Arch Systems Partner to Equip FUJI Smart Factory Customers with AI-Powered Intelligent Actions to Optimize Operations and Maximize Efficiency.
Fuji Corporation, a global leader in advanced SMT and automation solutions, has announced a strategic partnership with Arch Systems, a pioneer in AI-powered manufacturing intelligence, to bring AI guidance to factories and users of Fuji SMT lines worldwide.
Arch Systems will provide AI-driven actions to users of Fuji SMT lines, enabling them to resolve production challenges proactively. The system leverages AI agents, enriched with expert knowledge of Fuji machines, to automatically recognize and diagnose issues—ranging from suppressing scrap level and anomalous error states to growing line imbalances and low throughput. By analyzing factory data and dashboards in real-time, the AI generates actionable guidance, empowering manufacturers to optimize uptime, throughput, and yield while reducing reliance on external expertise.
“Fuji has long been recognized for building the most advanced and well-engineered systems in the industry. Through this collaboration, which utilizes our data and reporting at a high level across the entire SMT process, we are signaling a leap into the next step—bringing AI-driven automated guidance to our machines, not just for pick-and-place, but across the entire SMT line to ensure maximum efficiency. This partnership extends our vision for FUJI Smart Factory, empowering customers with end-to-end intelligence to achieve excellence in production,” said Takeshi Sato, Fuji Corporation Head of SMT Division, and Board Member.
By bringing AI-driven intelligence to Fuji’s industry-leading solutions, Arch Systems is enhancing the FUJI Smart Factory (FSF) experience, enabling manufacturers to scale expert-level decision-making across production lines. This AI-powered system allows users to transition from reactive troubleshooting to proactive optimization, driving new levels of efficiency and automation in SMT production.
Of the partnership, Arch CTO, Tim Burke, said, “Fuji has long been a leader in not only robotics and automation but in expert data and monitoring systems that optimized the use of their machines. Now we have partnered to amplify the best of their data, dashboards, and expertise to bring AI guided actions to shop floor users. In this way we’re enabling manufacturers to scale expertise in all new ways and build intelligence automation on top of physical automation. “
