Understanding Lights Out Manufacturing

Lights out manufacturing is a production method that uses automation technology to make parts and products with little to no human involvement besides during initial machine programming and tooling setup. The result is that lights out facilities—also referred to as dark factories—can run flawlessly 24 hours a day/7 days week even when they are unmanned (i.e., without human workers to monitor operations) and unlit (i.e., without lights to illuminate operations).
