The post SyncTwin Leverages OpenUSD to Transform Microsoft Files into Factory Digital Twins appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

SyncTwin GmbH, a software company specializing in optimizing production, intralogistics, and assembly, is on a mission to unlock industrial digital twins for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), according to the NVIDIA Technical Blog. Innovative Use of OpenUSD and Omniverse SyncTwin has developed an application on the NVIDIA Omniverse platform utilizing Universal Scene Description (OpenUSD) to enable customers to create digital twins of their facilities from non-3D data formats such as Microsoft PowerPoint, Excel, and PDF. Integrating generative AI, the app allows users to create and modify digital twins through simple text prompts. The application also employs the NVIDIA cuOpt accelerated optimization engine, significantly enhancing the efficiency of factory and warehouse operations. This integration allows manufacturing SMBs to simulate and evaluate operational scenarios, optimizing processes and resources, resulting in a projected 30% savings in facilities planning and process efficiency. Bringing Manufacturing Domains Together Factories are composed of interconnected and interdependent domains. Traditionally, the lack of integration between these domains and data sources has led to resource wastage. OpenUSD enables the integration of data between these domains in a digital representation of a factory, facilitating a comprehensive view of factory operations. Using OpenUSD, SyncTwin customers can combine visual data, production processes, product catalogs, production orders, scheduling, resources, and production environments. For example, floorplans from PowerPoint slides can be converted into digital twins using bitmapping, and warehouse inventory data from Excel spreadsheets can be accurately reflected in the digital twin environment. Michael Wagner, co-founder and CEO of SyncTwin, stated, “OpenUSD is the common language to bring all these different factory domains into a digital twin. It can be instrumental in dismantling data silos and enhancing collaborative efficiency across different factory domains.” Optimizing Intralogistics with cuOpt SyncTwin uses NVIDIA cuOpt, a GPU-accelerated microservice for logistics and route optimization, to optimize intralogistics for its customers.…
