| | automação total (desprovida de seres humanos) | Explanation:
Sem a intervenção direta de seres humanos nas fábricas (e as luzes estariam apagadas).
Veja abaixo.
While in the 1980s there was considerable talk about "lights out" chip fabrication facilities completely devoid of humans, that goal has proven less attractive over time, as corporations have continued to rely on some operators even in this highly automated industry

In the early 1980's, we developed a computer controlled electrochemical process that today would be called a light's out factory. It has run commercially since 1990. No new people were added to integrate it into an existing facility. It didn't create employment, it runs so well that one of our customers using the technology wants to convert the control system to another vendor because the maintenance people know the other product so much better because they have to work on it all the time. When you are successful in creating a no maintenance, no people attention necessary systems, it is very difficult to justify maintaining skill levels necessary to cope with the problem that might arise. Thank heaven for modems and the people that developed the system. They can diagnose and repair worldwide from one central source. This is a changing world. We have been at the future and see what's coming! People will have a different role in the automated production systems of the next millenium |

A partir de meados dos anos 1980s, os grandes centros de processamento de dados, passaram a instalar todos os equipamentos de computação que não envolvessem manuseio por operadores, como a CPU, unidades de controle de periféricos, unidades de disco e robôs de unidades de fita em salas em que não entravam seres humanos e por conseguinte dispensavam iluminação.
Quando eu ainda trabalhava como operador de computadores, a expressão usada em inglês era "unattended operations". Atualmente, as salas onde estão instalados os servidores e discos de computadores de rede são colocados em salas como essa.
