Getting started with the reference architecture
The Virtual Factory Reference Architecture by NVIDIA provides insights from engagements with global leaders in the semiconductor industry. The document outlines components and considerations essential for developers when creating virtual factory solutions.
IT infrastructure
Establishing secure IT infrastructure to support virtual factory solutions is crucial. This infrastructure should facilitate local and virtual workstations, interconnect data from various sources, and ensure data security throughout the process.
3D geometry assets
Connecting factory-building and production models is imperative for creating digital twins of factories. Integration of data from industry software tools like Autodesk Revit, Siemens Teamcenter, and more plays a vital role in developing comprehensive virtual factory solutions.
Simulation and synthetic data generation tools
Utilize simulation tools for robotics, autonomous systems, and computer vision training within virtual factory solutions. Synthetic data generation from these simulations aids in model training and development.
AI agents and inspection applications
Integration of third-party AI tools and custom AI models into virtual factory solutions streamlines operations and enhances efficiency in factory environments.
Historical and live synced IoT data
Leverage real-time IoT and historical data with OpenUSD to build operational digital twins of factories. Syncing data in real-time enables various stakeholders to make informed decisions based on up-to-date information.
Platform
NVIDIA Omniverse offers SDKs and APIs to develop virtual factory solutions, promoting data interoperability and collaboration while enhancing visualization for factory planning and operations teams.
Delivery
Consider intricacies in networking and connectivity when delivering design applications and AI framework models for virtual factory solutions. Seamless access for internal and external stakeholders is essential for successful adoption and value delivery.
