Airships have been making news recently -
Wired has a post about Hybrid Air Vehicles first commercial contract for airships that will deliver supplies to remote mining communities in Canada.
Reuters has video of Lockheed Martin's recent airship developments.
The Sydney Morning Herald has a post (with video) on NASA looking at airships. This article points to an article (also with video) over at the Daily Telegraph.
I think this is important from the "automated factory in the middle of nowhere" concept. Build your robot factory (I think I'll call it an "autofab" - robot factory implies it makes robots, not a fully automated plant) in a populated area inside of a bunch of shipping containers that when linked together form your factory. Ship the factory out to the middle of nowhere via airships while you wait for infrastructure to be built - assuming you even need road/rail infrastructure to your autofab as you might be able to get away with just using (automated) airships.
