Factories emerged during the Industrial Revolution in the 18th and 19th centuries, first in Europe, to increase production efficiency with machines and division of labor. In Japan, modern factories began appearing in the Meiji period (1868–1912) as the country industrialized, producing textiles, machinery, and other goods.
Today, factories are essential to modern economies worldwide, producing everything from food and clothing to electronics and vehicles, and they continue to evolve with automation and advanced technology.
