Abstract: Automation has gone from being a choice to being a necessity to manufacture today's intricate products at the required speeds. This makes automation increasingly a social issue, one that affects people outside the group that designs, controls, and uses smarter, faster machines. The title reflects the fact that it is going to be difficult and perhaps very dangerous, to reach the lights-out factory. Next to ultimate should be as far as we go. Automation systems should be designed to be operated by people.
