The following is the relevant introduction of the factory:
Also known as a factory, it is a large industrial building used to produce goods. Most factories have production lines composed of large machines or equipment. In the modern history of the world, it refers to the large-scale production of capitalist machines, that is, the capitalist industrial sites that replace manual labor with mechanized labor.
The original factory (such as 177 1 the factory built in the British colony) did not have large automation machines. At that time, the factory was purely for a large group of workers engaged in handicrafts (such as textiles) to gather together for production. This practice makes the process easier to manage and raw materials can be distributed more effectively.
18-19th century, after the industrial revolution, machines were widely used in production, which laid a solid material and technical foundation for the capitalist mode of production. Capitalist economy finally defeated feudal economy and small commodity economy with mechanized mass production and established its dominant position. Modern factories are also called "factories" and "production enterprises".
