Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-003344

A manufacturing methodology where a factory operates with full automation, requiring no direct human labor on the production floor.

Such facilities rely on advanced robotics, computer numerical control (CNC) machines, and automated guided vehicles (AGVs) to function independently for extended periods.
