Robotics makers embrace Nvidia digital twins to create autonomous AI-run factories
Nvidia says more than a dozen companies are working with its digital twin and Omniverse 3D digital technology to recreate factories in a bid to create more efficient physical plants. Once a factory is digitized, engineers can manipulate it to find efficiencies.
“Our digital twin will guide us to new levels of automation and industrial efficiency, saving time, cost and energy,” Young Liu, Foxconn chairman said in a blog post. It’s the digital twin of a new factory in Guadalajara, a hub of Mexico’s electronics industry and allows Foxconn’s engineers to virtually define processes and train robots so the physical plant runs at a higher efficiency. “To design an optimal assembly line, factory engineers need to find the best placement for dozens of robotic arms, each weighing hundreds of pounds,” Madison Huang, Nvidia’s director of product marketing, wrote in the blog.
