They're more common now. Here's an article from 2021, when they were just coming in:

Beijing Megvii Technology Co., Ltd., an artificial intelligence company, built an intelligent "Dark Factory" model workshop for a motor and drive manufacturer in Zhejiang Province.

From steel plate factories to mobile phone factories, from household motors to rocket ignition device parts, more and more Chinese companies are moving towards intelligent production, introducing a 24-hour uninterrupted and unattended production "Dark Factory" model.

“Dark Factory”,also known as a smart factory, it is named after the machines in the workshop can operate automatically and do not require lighting. Under the wave of intelligence, black light factories can reduce labor costs, improve production efficiency and product quality, and can produce some dangerous goods to ensure the safety of workers. 2021 - Sep - 08
