The Value of Virtual Facilities
New possibilities—from planning to operations.
Virtual factories unlock new possibilities for the world’s heavy industries, allowing them to design, build, simulate, operate, and optimize their assets and processes—entirely virtually. These physics-based industrial digital twins bring many benefits to teams, including:
Improved communication and decisions: During facility design, construction, and commissioning, virtual factories streamline communication for project stakeholders, allow teams to visualize and make decisions in context, and ensure that decisions are informed by the most current data.
Simulation of ideal layouts: Teams can connect virtual factories to simulation tools to optimize facility designs for production and material flow, ergonomics, and safety.
Optimization of operations: Teams can integrate their virtual factories with real-time production data to identify, analyze, and resolve issues.
Training and testing autonomous systems: AI and robotics developers can develop and test the generative physical AI that powers autonomous systems deployed in physical factories.

“Through the NVIDIA Omniverse API, Siemens empowers customers with generative AI to make their physics-based digital twins even more immersive. This will help everybody to design, build and test next-generation products, manufacturing processes and factories virtually before they are built in the physical world. By combining the real and the digital worlds, Siemens digital twin technology is enabling companies around the world to become more competitive, resilient and sustainable.”

Develop Virtual Facility Solutions With NVIDIA Omniverse, NVIDIA AI, and OpenUSD
Based on OpenUSD, the NVIDIA Omniverse™ platform provides developers with SDKs, APIs, and microservices to bring data interoperability, physically based visualization, generative AI, and real-time collaboration to software for designing, building, and operating virtual facility digital twins.
Unified Data Pipelines and Collaborative Workflows
By developing solutions on OpenUSD and leveraging Omniverse Kit App Streaming, developers unify complex 1D, 2D , and 3D data pipelines and bring new levels of collaboration to planning and operations teams, so they can interact with, review, and modify facility plans and remotely monitor operations, together, in real time.
Physically Accurate Simulations
With NVIDIA RTX™ technology, NVIDIA Isaac™, and NVIDIA PhysicsNeMo, developers take advantage of the latest AI, computer graphics, and robotics capabilities to power physically accurate digital twins of production facilities and industrial scale simulations.
AI-Enabled Optimization and Assistance
Developers integrate AI into their virtual factory solutions using NVIDIA Metropolis for Factories, NVIDIA cuOpt™, and NVIDIA ACE, enabling their users to optimize facilities for complex automation, material flow, safety, and human-robot interaction.
Easy-to-Use Developer Tools and Application Building Blocks
To quickly build, deploy, and scale their solutions, developers use NVIDIA SDKs and NIM™ inference microservices, low- and no-code Python or C++ development tools, learning labs, reference architectures, workflow guides, and easy-to-modify extensions and app samples.

“It all starts with planning - a complex process in which we need to connect many tools, datasets and specialists around the world. Traditionally we are limited as data is managed separately in a variety of systems and tools. Today we are developing custom Omniverse applications to connect our existing tools, know-how, and teams in a unified view.”
