Siemens, a leader in industrial automation and software,
infrastructure, building technology and transportation, and NVIDIA,
a pioneer in accelerated graphics and artificial intelligence (AI),
today announced an expansion of their partnership to enable the
industrial metaverse and increase use of AI-driven digital twin
technology that will help bring industrial automation to a new
level. As a first step in this collaboration, the companies plan to
connect Siemens Xcelerator, the open digital business platform, and
NVIDIA Omniverse™, a platform for 3D design and collaboration. This
will enable an industrial metaverse with physics-based digital
models from Siemens and real-time AI from NVIDIA in which companies
make decisions faster and with increased confidence.
The addition of Omniverse to the open Siemens Xcelerator partner
ecosystem will accelerate the use of digital twins that can deliver
productivity and process improvements across the production and
product lifecycles. Companies of all sizes will be able to employ
digital twins with real-time performance data; create innovative
industrial IoT solutions; leverage actionable insights from
analytics at the edge or in the cloud; and tackle the engineering
challenges of tomorrow by making visually rich, immersive
simulations more accessible.
“Photorealistic, physics-based digital twins embedded in the
industrial metaverse offer enormous potential to transform our
economies and industries by providing a virtual world where people
can interact and collaborate to solve real-world problems. Through
this partnership, we will make the industrial metaverse a reality
for companies of all sizes,” said Roland Busch, President and Chief
Executive Officer, Siemens AG. “For over a decade, our digital twin
technology has been helping customers across all industries to
boost their productivity and today offer the industry’s most
comprehensive digital twin. When Siemens Xcelerator is connected to
Omniverse, we will enable a real-time, immersive metaverse that
connects hardware and software, from the edge to the cloud with
rich data from Siemens’ software and solutions.”
“Siemens and NVIDIA share a common vision that the industrial
metaverse will drive digital transformation. This is just the first
step in our joint effort to make this vision real for our customers
and all parts of the global manufacturing industry,” said Jensen
Huang, founder and CEO, NVIDIA. “The connection to Siemens
Xcelerator will open NVIDIA’s Omniverse and AI ecosystem to a whole
new world of industrial automation that is built using Siemens’
mechanical, electrical, software, IoT and edge solutions.”
This partnership brings together complementary technologies and
ecosystems to realize the industrial metaverse. Siemens is uniquely
positioned at the intersections of the real and digital world,
information technology and operational technology. The Siemens
Xcelerator platform connects mechanical, electrical and software
domains across the product and production processes and enables the
convergence of IT and OT.
NVIDIA Omniverse is an AI-enabled, physically simulated and
industrial-scale virtual-world engine that enables for the first
time full-fidelity live digital twins. NVIDIA AI, used by more than
25,000 companies worldwide, is the world’s most popular AI platform
and the intelligence engine of Omniverse in the cloud and
autonomous systems at the edge. NVIDIA Omniverse and AI are ideal
computation engines to represent the comprehensive digital twin
from Siemens Xcelerator.About NVIDIASince its
