SyncTwin Leverages OpenUSD and Generative AI to Democratize Industrial Digital Twins

SyncTwin
GmbH
is
making
strides
in
the
industrial
sector
with
its
innovative
application
that
integrates
OpenUSD
and
generative
AI
to
enhance
manufacturing
efficiency
and
sustainability,
according
to
the

NVIDIA
Blog.

SyncTwin
developed
a
digital
twin
app
leveraging
NVIDIA’s
cuOpt,
an
optimization
engine
for
complex
routing
problems,
and
the
NVIDIA
Omniverse
platform.
This
app
aims
to
optimize
production
processes,
intralogistics,
and
assembly
by
creating
accurate
digital
replicas
of
industrial
environments.

OpenUSD’s
Role
in
Modern
Manufacturing

Manufacturing
workflows
are
inherently
complex,
requiring
effective
communication
and
integration
across
various
domains
to
ensure
operational
efficiency.
The
SyncTwin
app,
built
using
OpenUSD
and
NVIDIA
Omniverse,
facilitates
seamless
collaboration
for
factory
managers
and
their
teams.
This
integration
helps
in
optimizing
processes
and
resources
by
consolidating
visual
data,
production
details,
product
catalogs,
orders,
schedules,
and
production
settings
into
a
cohesive
digital
twin.

The
app
supports
the
aggregation
of
diverse
data
sources,
including
floorplans
from
Microsoft
PowerPoint
and
warehouse
container
data
from
Excel
spreadsheets,
into
a
unified
digital
twin.
This
approach
enables
non-destructive
editing
and
composition
of
complex
3D
assets
and
animations,
enhancing
the
digital
precision
of
factory
operations.

Michael
Wagner,
co-founder
and
chief
technology
officer
of
SyncTwin,
emphasized
the
significance
of
OpenUSD,
stating,
“OpenUSD
is
the
common
language
bringing
all
these
different
factory
domains
into
a
single
digital
twin.
The
framework
can
be
instrumental
in
dismantling
data
silos
and
enhancing
collaborative
efficiency
across
different
factory
domains,
such
as
assembly,
logistics,
and
infrastructure
planning.”

Pioneering
Generative
AI
in
Factory
Planning

SyncTwin’s
integration
of
generative
AI
into
its
platform
provides
users
with
data-driven
insights
and
recommendations,
thereby
enhancing
decision-making
processes.
This
AI
integration
automates
complex
analyses,
accelerates
operations,
and
reduces
the
need
for
manual
inputs,
streamlining
factory
planning
and
operations.

The
combination
of
OpenUSD
and
generative
AI
in
SyncTwin’s
app
is
setting
new
standards
for
operational
efficiency
and
sustainability
in
manufacturing.
Users
can
gain
a
deeper
understanding
of
how
these
technologies
work
together
by
attending
sessions
at
industry
events
such
as
NVIDIA
GTC.

3D
pipelines
and
tools
using
OpenUSD.

By
leveraging
the
capabilities
of
OpenUSD
and
NVIDIA’s
AI
and
optimization
technologies,
SyncTwin
is
driving
the
evolution
of
factory
planning
and
operations,
promoting
efficiency,
sustainability,
and
cost
reduction
across
the
manufacturing
sector.
