The concept of "dark factories," also known as lights-out manufacturing, represents a transformative shift in the manufacturing landscape, where fully automated facilities operate with minimal or no human intervention. These advanced production environments leverage cutting-edge technologies such as robotics, artificial intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), and machine learning to create highly efficient, precise, and scalable manufacturing processes.

Moreover, the term "dark factory" originates from the idea that these facilities can function without lighting, as human workers-who require illumination-are largely absent. Instead, machines and automated systems work tirelessly, often 24/7, to produce goods with unprecedented speed and accuracy. As industries worldwide strive for greater efficiency, sustainability, and competitiveness, the dark factories market has emerged as a pivotal force in redefining how goods are produced, from automotive components to pharmaceuticals and consumer electronics.

The market-defined by highly automated manufacturing facilities operating with minimal human interventions expanding as countries escalate investments in robotics, digital infrastructure, and electronics manufacturing. In Asia, leading economies such as China, Japan, and India are undergoing significant transformations in their industrial strategies, with a strong focus on automation, artificial intelligence, and smart manufacturing. These trends create fertile ground for the proliferation of dark factories, enabling 24/7 operations, greater efficiency, and improved precision.
