Fuji America Corporation will showcase how artificial intelligence (AI) and Smart Factory technologies can transform manufacturing data into measurable operational improvements during SMTA International 2026, taking place October 26-29 at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, Illinois.
As electronics manufacturers increasingly collect data from equipment, production lines and factory operations, the ability to turn that information into actionable insights is becoming critical to improving productivity, efficiency and cost performance. At SMTA International, Chris Dayney, Technical Marketing Manager at Fuji America, will address this challenge during the MFX2: AI & Smart Factory Evolution track.
Dayney will present “From Data to Action: Real-World AI and Smart Factory Implementations in SMT Manufacturing” on Monday, October 26, from 4-4:30 p.m. The presentation will feature real-world case studies illustrating how AI-driven technologies and Smart Factory solutions are being applied to address common manufacturing challenges and deliver measurable results.
The presentation will examine how manufacturers are using connected production data and intelligent analysis to reduce changeover times, increase production capacity and improve equipment utilization. Dayney also will discuss how automated downtime analysis can help manufacturers identify root causes more quickly, while providing greater visibility into factory operations and opportunities to reduce production costs.
“Manufacturers have access to more production data than ever before, but collecting data is only the beginning. The real value comes from turning that data into actionable information that can help teams make better decisions, respond more quickly to production issues and continuously improve manufacturing performance.” said Chris Dayney, Technical Marketing Manager at Fuji America.
The presentation is designed to provide practical insight for manufacturers at various stages of their Smart Factory journey, from companies beginning to implement connected manufacturing strategies to those looking to maximize the value of existing production data and systems.
By combining AI-driven analysis with Smart Factory technologies, manufacturers can move beyond simply monitoring production performance to identifying opportunities for improvement and taking action based on real-time and historical manufacturing data.
