“…Due to the increasing relevance of environmental criteria in factory planning, the concept of life cycle-oriented factory planning was shaped in previous publications [11][12][13][14]. Instead of permanently and reactively adapting the factory to quasi-static conditions, life cycle-oriented factory planning aims for a proactive planning of the factory life cycle.…”

Modern factory planning requires a holistic perspective taking economic as well as environmental sustainability over the entire factory life cycle into account. As a complex socio-technical system, the factory life cycle consists of multiple life cycles of the inherent factory elements. A holistic understanding of the individual life cycles and their interdependencies is missing for both planning and operation of a factory. Therefore, the goal is to develop a system understanding about life cycle-oriented factory planning and to analyze the contribution of relevant factory elements to the sustainability of a factory. As a result, a knowledge base for life cycle costing and assessment of the entire factory is established using an impact path model. The qualitative model supports factory planners in deriving planning measures for the sustainable design of a factory and in determining data requirements for the quantitative evaluation of the economic and environmental sustainability of a factory. It shows that the production and logistics concepts essentially define the sustainability potential during planning, while the resulting life cycle behavior of the process facilities and workers is responsible for the majority of costs and environmental impacts of a factory. Factory planners must therefore become aware of the implications of planning decisions on factory operation when developing concepts in the future.

“…With this regard, a model-based understanding is required that builds the basis for setting situations into context, deriving measures and evaluating solution approaches [10]. Preliminary work showed that there is a lack of such model-based approaches for factory systems [11][12][13][14].…”

“…The concept of Factories of the Future (FoF) emerges as a cornerstone in this transformative journey, symbolizing the fusion of cutting-edge digital technologies with traditional manufacturing processes to create more efficient, sustainable, and intelligent production facilities [1,8,9]. These factories are envisioned to be highly adaptable, resource-efficient, and ergonomically designed to enhance human-machine interaction, thereby fostering a symbiotic relationship between industrial production and urban ecosystems [1,7,10,11].…”

This paper delves into the integration of Factories of the Future (FoF) and digital twin technologies within urban contexts, marking a significant leap in Smart Cities development. We present a thorough exploration of the principles and a scientifically grounded framework designed for seamlessly blending advanced manufacturing systems with the urban environment’s digital and physical aspects. Our detailed analysis has identified core principles crucial for this integration, focusing on interoperability, sustainability, adaptability, stakeholder collaboration, and strong data governance. We propose a structured framework that puts these principles into action, outlining strategic routes for incorporating digital twin and Building Information Modeling (BIM) technologies into FoF, establishing public-private partnerships, enhancing education and workforce development, and setting up mechanisms for ongoing evaluation and enhancement. The potential of this integration to transform urban development is vast, providing a model for boosting operational efficiency, driving economic growth, and enhancing urban livability. Although challenges exist in realizing this vision, our research offers practical insights and strategies for cities and industries to effectively navigate the complexities of the digital era. This contribution enriches the growing field of urban science, advocating for a harmonious integration of industrial production with urban development in the Smart Cities framework.
