Fuji restores SMT pick-and-place and Hug robot product sites after security shutdown

Fuji Corporation has reopened the product websites for its SMT pick-and-place machines and its Hug mobility support robot, the company said. The two sites had been taken down for emergency maintenance as a security measure starting October 22, 2026.

Fuji states that the required measures and safety checks are complete, and that public access resumed on the day of the notice. The affected pages were the dedicated FUJI SMT Site for pick-and-place machines and the dedicated Hug site for the mobility support robot.

The company did not describe the nature of the security issue or say whether machine software, firmware or customer accounts were involved. It also gave no details on how long the checks took beyond the October 22 start.

For shops that rely on Fuji's SMT site for machine documentation or support material, the practical effect is that those pages are reachable again. Fuji apologized for the disruption during the maintenance period and said it will keep working to keep the sites safe.
