Industry leaders Fuji America, Koh Young, and Creative Electron have jointly launched "THE SMT FUTURE EXPERIENCE" — an independent collaborative venue in San Marcos, California. Blending a live SMT production line, workspaces, and educational facilities, it aims to break industry silos, accelerate innovation, and shape the future of SMT manufacturing through supplier collaboration, talent development, and technology summits.
The founding partners bring complementary strengths:
Fuji America’s placement technology and automation, Koh Young’s AI-powered 3D inspection solutions, and Creative Electron’s X-ray inspection systems.
A two-day launch event will be held on February 11-12, 2026:
Day 1 features the EMS COO Summit focusing on operational excellence, while Day 2 hosts the AI in Electronics Manufacturing Summit for practical AI strategy implementation.
