NVIDIA Expands Omniverse Cloud to Power Industrial Digitalization

SANTA CLARA, Calif., March 21, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- GTC -- NVIDIA today announced that , a platform-as-a-service that enables companies to unify digitalization across their core product and business processes, is now available to select enterprises.

NVIDIA has as the first cloud service provider for Omniverse Cloud, giving enterprises access to the full-stack suite of software applications and ™ infrastructure, with the scale and security of Azure cloud services.

The new subscription offering for Omniverse Cloud on Azure makes it easy for automotive teams — from design and engineering to smart factory to marketing — to digitalize their workflows, whether to accelerate vehicle development, building digital twins of automotive factories or running closed-loop simulations to test vehicle performance.

“Every manufactured object, from massive physical facilities to handheld consumer goods, will someday have a digital twin, created to build, operate and optimize the object,” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. “NVIDIA Omniverse Cloud is the digital-to-physical operating system for industrial digitalization, arriving just in time for the trillions of dollars of new EV, battery and chip factories that are being built.”

Omniverse Cloud Delivers Ultimate Flexibility and Scalability

Through Omniverse Cloud, NVIDIA and Microsoft provide customers a and platform capabilities to design, develop, deploy and manage industrial metaverse applications. Omniverse Cloud also connects with the products that customers use from NVIDIA’s partner ecosystem.

Powered by NVIDIA OVX computing systems, Omniverse Cloud enables enterprise developers to customize foundation applications that are included with the platform-as-a-service:

• Omniverse USD Composer (formerly Omniverse Create) — to assemble applications based on the Universal Scene Description () framework, and create .
• Omniverse USD-GDN Publisher — to publish interactive USD applications such as product configurators to the , enabling streaming of advanced 3D experiences to any device, anywhere.
• NVIDIA Isaac Sim™ — to train and simulate .
• NVIDIA DRIVE Sim™ — to test and validate .
• Omniverse Replicator — to to accelerate the training and accuracy of computer vision AI networks.
  
  

Automotive Makers Adopting Omniverse to Achieve Digitalization

Omniverse Cloud builds on the success of and experience with early customers, including BMW Group, Geely Lotus and Jaguar Land Rover.

, which was the first carmaker to adopt Omniverse to build a fully digitalized smart factory, today announced that it will .

“NVIDIA Omniverse has given us an unprecedented ability to design, build and test complex manufacturing systems, which means we can plan and optimize a next-generation factory completely virtually before we build it in the physical world,” said Milan Nedeljković, board member for production at BMW AG. “This will save us time and resources, increase our sustainability efforts and improve operational efficiencies.”

Geely Lotus is adopting Omniverse Enterprise to build of factories to optimize manufacturing processes.

Jaguar Land Rover is using Omniverse to generate synthetic data to train AI models, as well as validate perception and control algorithms through real-world driving scenarios. The vehicle maker has integrated Omniverse with its state-of-the-art vehicle dynamics models, virtual electronic control units, virtual automotive networks and cloud infrastructure, enabling teams to rapidly iterate software concepts.

Availability

Omniverse Cloud, powered by , will be available starting with Microsoft Azure in the second half of the year.

Omniverse Cloud-based services will also be available from a network of leading service providers including WPP, the world’s largest marketing and communications company, which is building services to deliver sustainable and automated content supply chains for major brands worldwide.
