Artificial intelligence in manufacturing
Rockwell and Nvidia cooperate in the field of AI
Rockwell Automation and Nvidia are collaborating to intensify the use of AI in industrial manufacturing. As part of the collaboration, Nvidia is now an official member of the Rockwell Automation PartnerNetwork, enabling Rockwell customers to utilize Nvidia's applications.
"Our collaboration with Nvidia will help accelerate the future of industrial operations and add value to our entire portfolio of software, hardware and services - from the cloud to the factory floor," said Jordan Reynolds, Vice President, Artificial Intelligence and Autonomy at Rockwell Automation. Rockwell will further integrate the Nvidia Omniverse cloud application programming interfaces (APIs) into its Emulate3D virtual commissioning software to provide users with industrial-scale compatibility, live collaboration and physics-based visualisation to design, develop and operate digital twins of production systems.
"The demand for accelerated computing for the creation, simulation and operation of large digital twins is increasing," said Rev Lebaredian, vice president, Omniverse and Simulation Technology at Nvidia. "Rockwell will integrate the Nvidia Omniverse Cloud APIs into its Emulate3D digital twin application to make analysing factories, including operations and simulation, easier and more predictive."
By developing on the Nvidia robotics platform for Edge AI, Rockwell is helping to make AMRs - through its recent acquisition of Otto Motors - and process automation applications available to industrial customers.
