Smartphones, of which more than 1 billion units are produced worldwide each year, contain hundreds to thousands of electronic parts, making mass production essential. As a result, placement speed is critical on the production floor, requiring technology capable of consistently placing small parts with high accuracy within short cycle times. In recent years, there has been a growing demand for advanced placement technologies capable of handling extremely small parts, such as those in the 0201 mm (008004") size (0.25 x 0.125 mm).

Servers used for AI computing are equipped with large circuit boards that contain numerous expensive high-performance semiconductor parts (such as GPUs). Since these devices operate continuously for long periods, "stability"—the ability to consistently place parts accurately—is critical for the production floor. Even a minor placement defect can lead to significant losses, so production lines capable of maintaining consistent high accuracy are essential.

Because automobiles are products that directly affect human lives, reliability is of paramount importance. For this reason, production sites are required to consistently ensure high quality. Manufacturing lines, including placement machines, are designed with inspection functions and traceability systems to record production history, enabling the prevention of defects and the tracking of their causes.
