Helping design and engineering professionals discover, evaluate and specify technologies and processes that shorten the design cycle and enable success.
Cut Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) Hallucinations by 50%
Most teams hit the same wall with enterprise AI: LLMs that hallucinate, pipelines that don’t scale, and infrastructure that’s harder to design than the models themselves.
What Is Intelligent BOM Management? A Guide to Smarter Product Development
Learn how intelligent Bill of Materials (BOM) management helps teams collaborate, reduce errors, and bring innovative products to market faster with cloud-based PLM tools.
Schaeffler, the motion technology company, has entered into a technology collaboration with NVIDIA. The partnership should help Schaeffler digitalize its production processes. Using NVIDIA Omniverse, Schaeffler is expanding its production elements, which will be integrated and simulated as digital twins, with goals of integrating half of the company’s plants into Omniverse by 2030.
“Schaeffler is consistently and persistently driving the digitalization of its plants,” says Andreas Schick, chief operating officer at Schaeffler AG. “To be able to shape the production of the future, you need strong partners like NVIDIA. Together, we will create a digital ecosystem for our more than 100 plants that will sustainably revolutionize production processes. The Omniverse and the use of digital twins will make our value chains more efficient and agile.”
Schaeffler will develop digital twins, or digital representations of plants and machines, using the NVIDIA Omniverse platform. With AI-supported solutions, employees will be able to simulate physical properties of materials, processes, and production processes and optimize them. In addition, Omniverse will enable deployment of future technologies such as humanoid robots in production environments. Complex, fully automated assembly processes will also be able to be improved with the use of AI in Omniverse.
“As global manufacturers seek to modernize operations, a simulation-first, AI-driven approach is essential to drive efficiency, innovation, and competitive advantage,” says Rev Lebaredian, vice president of Omniverse and Simulation Technology at NVIDIA. “Our work together will enable Schaeffler to simulate and optimize its manufacturing and robotics operations before making changes in the real world—accelerating innovation while reducing risk and cost.”
“The technology collaboration with NVIDIA makes realistic, well-functioning representations of digital twins and physical AI possible," says Roberto Henkel, senior vice president Operations Digitalization & IT at Schaeffler. "Schaeffler aims to play a key role in shaping the development of the Industrial Metaverse for the manufacturing industry together with NVIDIA.”
