Our core business is digital inkjet printing and the associated ecosystem of printing inks, software and services. At Printing United we are launching the Open Software Initiative – a powerful step forward for the entire printing industry. Built on proven Durst software technologies, this neutral, modular platform for software solutions is designed to go far beyond Durst systems. It provides print service providers, resellers, system integrators and OEMs access to powerful and flexible modules – enabling seamless integration of third-party solutions, regardless of printertype or manufacturer. These modules are bundled under the Smart Factory Portfolio. 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, we are 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.
