The increasing technological and organizational complexity of factory planning necessitates a reconsideration of its underlying structures, processes, and stakeholder interactions. This study investigates how emerging technologies transform factory planning not merely by enhancing existing tasks, but by reconfiguring the socio-technical ecosystem in which planning occurs. Drawing on a systematic literature review guided by the PRISMA methodology, the analysis identifies and categorizes technological interventions across three dimensions: planning processes, collaboration models, and stakeholder constellations. Findings reveal a predominant focus on visualization technologies, while systemic implications for collaboration and actor roles remain insufficiently addressed. By synthesizing these insights, the study introduces a conceptual model of the factory planning ecosystem and demonstrates how technologies such as Digital Twins, Extended Reality, and AI serve as catalysts for more integrated, participatory, and data-driven planning environments. The results provide a foundation for future research on the evolving stakeholder landscape, the institutional integration of planning technologies, and the systemic reconfiguration of collaboration structure.
