Growth Strategy

We strive to increase sales and strengthen profitability in our main businesses of SMT pick and place machines (mounters) and semiconductor manufacturing equipment (die bonders).
In particular, the market size for mounters is expected to expand to 500 billion yen by 2030. Fuji is focusing on expanding our business by targeting growth markets such as automotive, semiconductors, and AI servers, in addition to our core smartphone market, and is working to acquire new customers through the expanded sales of new models (NXTR and AIMEXR).
Furthermore, we will continue to provide automation solutions for entire factories as a way to address labor shortages expected to result from the declining working population in the future.

Business strategy for SMT pick and place machines (mounters)

Advances in automotive electronics

Automobiles use a large number of electronic components such as sensors, cameras, and control units.
In recent years, the number of electronic boards installed in each car has increased due to the spread of autonomous driving and electric vehicles (EVs). Furthermore, the number of electronic components placed on each board is increasing, resulting in higher functionality and greater placement density.

Fuji Product Advantage

Support greater functionality and higher placement density with high-end models offering high speed and accuracy

Increasing functionality in electronic devices

Various electronic devices such as smartphones and wearable devices are becoming smaller and more functional every year. In order to integrate advanced functions into a small space, the number of module components and SiPs (System in Package) that combine multiple chips and components into one package is increasing.
High accuracy, high density placement is required to integrate complex and delicate components into a single package.

Fuji Product Advantage

Support high accuracy placement of ±10 um

AI servers

AI servers are increasing worldwide to handle large-scale data processing for applications such as generative AI and autonomous driving.
AI servers use large boards equipped with many high-performance electronic components at high placement density, as they perform many times more calculations than general computers.

Fuji Product Advantage

Support large boards up to 1068 x 610 mm

Offering factory-wide automation solutions

Challenges at production sites

• Labor shortages
• Skills becoming person-dependent
• Discrepancies between production plans and actual results
• Time lost due to changeovers
• Quality stability

Fuji Advantage

Solves challenges with FUJI Smart Factory solutions

1. 1Resolving labor shortages through automation

   Tasks such as production preparation, component supply, and inter-process transport are automated to enable unmanned factories.
   Automation also helps reduce defective products caused by human error.

2. 2Preventing errors in advance with data analysis

   Production equipment operation data and camera images are analyzed to detect early signs of errors before they develop into equipment issues or warning alarms.
   By automatically replacing affected units and issuing maintenance instructions, unexpected equipment downtime can be prevented and stable production is maintained.
