2. Automation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automation

   Lights-out manufacturing is a production system with no human workers, to eliminate labor costs. It grew in popularity in the U.S. when General Motors in 1982 implemented humans "hands-off" manufacturing to "replace risk-averse bureaucracy with automation and robots".

3. Factory automation infrastructure - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factory_Automation...

   The use of automation in manufacturing started by using technologies such as pneumatic and hydraulic systems in applications where their mechanical advantages could be used to raise output quality and efficiency in production. [8] Complex and highly integrated systems have since evolved, composed of procedures with sophisticated operation ...

4. Process automation system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Process_automation_system

   PAS is the lowest level of automation, while MES (manufacturing execution system) is considered to be directly positioned above a PAS. Process automation involves using sensors, actuators, computer technology and software engineering to help power plants and factories in industries as diverse as paper, mining and cement operate more efficiently ...

6. Lights out (manufacturing) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lights_out_(manufacturing)

   Lights-out manufacturing is the methodology of fully automating the production of goods at factories and other industrial facilities, such as to require no human presence on-site. Many of these factories are considered to be able to run "with the lights off," but few run exclusively lights-out production.

7. Computer-integrated manufacturing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer-integrated...

   The idea of "digital manufacturing" became prominent in the early 1970s, with the release of Dr. Joseph Harrington's book, Computer Integrated Manufacturing. [5] However, it was not until 1984 when computer-integrated manufacturing began to be developed and promoted by machine tool manufacturers and the Computer and Automated Systems Association and Society of Manufacturing Engineers (CASA/SME).
