富士胶片周四发布公告称，将投资约100亿日元（约合6300万美元），将其磁带产能提升五倍，受益者是AI时代一个意想不到的产品：磁带。
In an announcement released Thursday, Fujifilm said it will invest roughly 10 billion yen (about $63 million) to increase its production capacity fivefold for an unlikely beneficiary of the AI era: magnetic tape.
富士胶片将归档需求激增归因于生成式AI的普及，公司指出这在全球范围内产生了数据需求的“指数级增长”。这5倍的产能提升将以2025财年的产量水平为基准。
Fujifilm attributes the surge in archiving demand to the spread of generative AI, which the company remarked is producing "exponential growth" in data needs worldwide. The 5x increase in production capacity will be measured against fiscal year 2025 production levels.
这笔投资将用于富士胶片神奈川工厂小田原基地，使其成为“富士胶片迄今为止在专用LTO磁带设施上最大的一笔投资”。该项目将从2026财年持续到2028财年，用于扩建制造设施和增加人员，主要生产最新一代的“富士胶片LTO Ultrium10”磁带。
The investment in Fujifilm's Kanagawa Factory, Odawara site will make it "the largest investment Fujifilm has made to date in dedicated LTO tape facilities." The project will run from fiscal years 2026 through 2028 to fund manufacturing expansion and additional personnel, primarily to produce the latest-generation "FUJIFILM LTO Ultrium10" tape.
