For some reason this scares me at a core level more than anything else. Seems inevitable that Skynet will control the factory sooner or later.

Yep, one of the example in the Wiki is robots building robots since 2001:

"FANUC, a Japanese robotics company, has been operating as a lights-out factory since 2001.[6] Robots are building other robots at a rate of about 50 per 24-hour shift and can run unsupervised for as long as 30 days at a time."

With IIOT (industry internet of things) that definitely seems like a possible reality. However, as long as Skynet is controlled by ex-factory workers it will be a promotion for everyone.
