SANTA CLARA, Calif., July 26, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Frost & Sullivan's recent analysis on lights-out manufacturing finds that the rapidly falling price of robots and continually increasing labor costs will accelerate manufacturers' shift toward a lights-out setting. The manufacturing process is fully automated in a lights-out environment, with minimal human intervention required to run day-to-day operations. Companies have an opportunity to optimize their human capital and potentially save up to 20% of labor costs and generate a 30% increase in productivity output by switching to a lights-out operations model. In addition, they can achieve their sustainability and zero-carbon emission goals by saving energy during production hours. Automotive, general manufacturing, electronics and electrical components, and logistics and warehousing are four major industries expected to make rapid advancements toward a fully automated lights-out environment in the short term.

Key Points: 
  • The manufacturing process is fully automated in a lights-out environment, with minimal human intervention required to run day-to-day operations.
  • In addition, they can achieve their sustainability and zero-carbon emission goals by saving energy during production hours.
