Lights-Out Factory

Named after the fact that the lights can stay off, this approach keeps production running without human labor. From raw material entering the plant to the product leaving it, the process is carried out by robots, machine vision and software, and human intervention is kept to a minimum.

Many manufacturers looking to meet rising demand and lower unit costs are moving to unmanned production between shifts and at night. This requires robotic loading, camera-based quality inspection, automatic palletizing and PLC–ERP integration to run together in one uninterrupted flow.

We have installed each of these components on the shop floor: robotic machine tending, deep-learning quality inspection, robotic palletizing and line management software. With them, we prepare your plant for unmanned shifts step by step and build it with a zero-defect goal.
