“Lights out manufacturing” is a highly automated environment that requires little or no human intervention to carry out manufacturing activities.
One of the biggest advantages of lights out manufacturing lies in the network it creates. It systematically streamlines machines to gather and report information at each step by interconnecting every aspect of the factory. Everything is as seamless as clockwork. This is a very unlikely feat for humans to achieve on the same scale.
In the United States, “lights out manufacturing” is transforming the process of plastic injection molding. This has put the businesses in the front seat by offering a competitive advantage in terms of precision, cost, turnaround time and improved quality on a global scale.
