One connected platform for the next era of print production.
Durst Smart Factory brings Print 4.0 into practical reach by connecting ecommerce, ERP/MIS, prepress, RIP, production, analytics, and customer visibility into a cleaner, more automated operating model for modern print shops.
Why it matters
The biggest bottleneck in many print shops is no longer the printer. It is the disconnected work around the printer: quoting, order intake, file checks, job tickets, approvals, color control, scheduling, production tracking, and reporting.
Automated job preparation helps reduce repetitive steps, operator touches, and avoidable reprints.
Connect storefront, ERP/MIS, prepress, RIP, production, and analytics into one smarter flow.
Production data helps teams see bottlenecks, track status, and make better decisions faster.
Shops can add software modules as they mature instead of replacing their entire operation at once.
A modular ecosystem, not another silo
Smart Factory is built around the idea that print shops need flexible modules that can support mixed environments, third-party integrations, and practical automation.
Smart Shop
Print-specific ecommerce for B2B and B2C order entry, online ordering, portals, and digital customer touchpoints.
Lift ERP
Cloud-based ERP/MIS designed for print businesses, helping unify business control and production planning.
Prepare
Automated prepress for preflight, file preparation, PDF editing, and cleaner handoff to production.
Produce
High-performance RIP capabilities with advanced color management for consistent, efficient output.
Production Intelligence
AI-powered, data-driven production insight for bottlenecks, trends, utilization, and smarter decision-making.
Open Integration
Designed for interoperability, open APIs, and integration readiness across broader production environments.
How print shops benefit
For sign, display, label, packaging, textile, and industrial print operations, the value is simple: fewer disconnected decisions, faster job movement, and more confidence in every production step.
Faster turnaround
Automated order intake, preflight, preparation, and production routing can reduce wait time between departments and help jobs move faster from approval to output.
Reduced errors and waste
Defined workflows, file checks, color control, and production transparency help reduce miscommunication, rework, substrate waste, and missed details.
Better customer experience
Digital ordering, portals, approval workflows, and status visibility help shops serve customers with more speed, clarity, and professionalism.
Data-driven management
Instead of relying on gut feel, teams can monitor utilization, throughput, downtime, job status, and recurring bottlenecks across production.

Print 4.0 Advantage
Why integration, visibility, and scalable software matter for shops competing on speed and quality.
Smart Factory turns software into a production advantage.
For print shops, the opportunity is not just adding another tool. It is building a connected operating system that improves quoting, ordering, file prep, production, reporting, and customer communication.
