Artificial intelligence with Yamaha


With over 25 years of experience in the Electronic Manufacturing Industry by Yamaha equipment we have a unique in-depth know-how about the electronic production processes. Since we as Yamaha produce Screen printers with SPI, Automatic Optical Inspection machines, dispensers, x-ray, hybrid placers and a full range of pick and place machines ourselves, all machine software and programs are made on the same platform. This is really unique. This means that production issues can be seen during the production process and correction or warnings can be automatically communicated to or made by the next machine. The so called Artificial intelligence features.

The data is the same and programs can be used on all machines with all the same user interfaces. With the controlling software YSUP we control a total Yamaha line. In the factory or off-line from the headquarters or home location.

YAMAHA’s ‘1 STOP SMART SOLUTION’


At Europe SMT, we donโ€™t just supply machines โ€” we build long-term partnerships. Together with Yamaha, we offer a complete SMT solution that helps manufacturers boost efficiency, reduce defects and simplify operations.

Yamaha provides full factory and process coverage with high-speed, high-precision systems. From printing and dispensing to mounting and inspection, every step is seamlessly connected.

All machines run on a unified software platform, enabling real-time communication, consistent data flow and easy control of the entire line. Intelligent features and flexible software ensure stable, operator-friendly production โ€” whether on-site or remote.

This is what makes it a true 1-stop smart solution: integrated technology backed by a partner who is committed to your long-term success.
