SMART FACTORY
An Open Software Initiative by Durst
The SMART FACTORY portfolio is a modular, cloud-enabled software platform designed to empower print service providers, system integrators, resellers, and OEMs with unprecedented capabilities.
This open platform redefines the entire production process by automating the print workflow and unifying data, processes, and systems for a truly integrated production environment. Built with a focus on interoperability, open APIs and integration readiness, the plattform offers a vendor-neutral foundation for implementing Smart Factory capabilities in any production setup, clearly separating it from Durst´s existing proprietary solutions tailored for its hardware customers.
With the OPEN SOFTWARE INITIATIVE, Durst is setting a new standard for open, scalable, and future-ready print production.
