How Virtual Factories Are Making Industrial Digitalization A Reality
NVIDIA News, Wednesday, April 24th, 2024
Manufacturers are using virtual factories to unlock new possibilities from planning to operations.
To address the shift to electric vehicles, increased semiconductor demand, manufacturing onshoring, and ambitions for greater sustainability, manufacturers are investing in new factory developments and re-engineering their existing facilities.
These projects often run over budget and schedule, due to complex and manual planning processes, legacy technology infrastructure, and disconnected tools, data and teams.
To address these challenges, manufacturers are embracing digitalization and virtual factories, powered by technologies like digital twins, the Universal Scene Description (OpenUSD) ecosystem and generative AI, that enable new possibilities from planning to operations.
