A [[Dark Factory]], also known as a [[Lights-out Factory]], is a fully [[automated manufacturing]] or logistics facility that operates with minimal or no human intervention. The term "dark" refers to the ability of these factories to function without lighting, as their robotic and [[Artificial Intelligence]]-driven "workers" do not require illumination to perform tasks. Emerging as a pinnacle of [[Industry 4.0]], dark factories leverage advanced [[Robotics]], [[Artificial Intelligence|AI]], the [[Industrial Internet of Things]] (IIoT), and other cutting-edge technologies to achieve unprecedented levels of efficiency, precision, and scalability. While promising transformative benefits, they also raise significant economic, ethical, and technical challenges.
