Smart Factory
An Open Software Initiative
The Smart Factory portfolio is built as a modular, cloud-enabled software platform that can be flexibly used and integrated by print service providers, system integrators, resellers, and OEMs.
With the portfolio, Durst is opening the approach to connect and automate every step of the entire production process, combining data, workflows, and systems to the entire industry. Accessible to anyone, the platform focuses on interoperability, open APIs, and integration readiness. Clearly separated from Durst’s existing proprietary solutions for Durst hardware customers, it enables everyone to deploy Smart Factory capabilities in their own production environments.
OPEN BY FUTURE
A software ecosystem for everyone.
"Our vision is to create an open, future-proof software ecosystem for the entire printing industry - developed by us, but available to everyone. This sets new standards for productivity, automation, and vendor independence."
Christoph Gamper
CEO and Co-Owner of the Durst Group
