NVIDIA Omniverse adoption enhances U.S. manufacturing capabilities
Leading U.S. manufacturers, industrial software developers, and robotics companies have begun utilizing NVIDIA Omniverse technologies to construct robotic factories and autonomous collaborative robots. This move aims to address labor shortages and support American reindustrialization.
News Summary:
- “Mega” NVIDIA Omniverse Blueprint now includes libraries to build factory-scale digital twins. Siemens’ Digital Twin software was the first to support this blueprint, with FANUC and Foxconn Fii among the first to connect their robot models.
- Manufacturers like Belden, Caterpillar, Foxconn, Lucid Motors, Toyota, TSMC, and Wistron are implementing Omniverse factory digital twins to enhance AI-driven manufacturing processes.
- Agility Robotics, Amazon Robotics, Figure, and Skild are developing America’s Collaborative Robot (Cobot) workforce using NVIDIA’s three-computer architecture.
NVIDIA announced that it is expanding its “Mega” Omniverse Blueprint to include digital twin technologies for designing and simulating factory environments. The collaboration with Siemens, which has developed digital twin software compatible with this blueprint, aims to enable engineers to create large-scale digital twins that leverage realistic 3D models and real-time operational data.
During Healthcare Information System (HIS) keynote at NVIDIA GTC Washington, D.C., CEO Jensen Huang highlighted how Foxconn is leveraging these technologies to design and optimize a new facility for manufacturing NVIDIA Artificial Intelligence (AI) infrastructure systems.
As of 2025, announcements of $1.2 trillion in investments have been made toward expanding U.S. production capacity, particularly from electronics, pharmaceuticals, and semiconductor sectors. These companies are adopting independent software vendor applications and Omniverse libraries to develop robotic factories based on physical AI and simulation.
For instance, Belden is using Accenture’s Physical AI Orchestrator, which integrates NVIDIA Omniverse libraries to create virtual safety fences and enhance real-time quality inspection systems within factories. Similarly, Caterpillar is applying digital twin technologies to optimize its factory operations.
Additional companies, including Lucid Motors and TSMC, are using Omniverse to develop their factory digital twins for improved planning and overall operational efficiency. Robotics firms are employing NVIDIA’s architecture for developing advanced fleets essential for improving productivity and safety across various industries.
Example collaborations such as the one between Figure and NVIDIA focus on building humanoid robotics capable of diverse tasks, from household duties to industrial support. Meanwhile, Amazon Robotics is utilizing Omniverse frameworks to accelerate the development cycle of its robotics systems.
NVIDIA is committed to providing the necessary AI and simulation infrastructure, partnering with leading cloud service providers to further accelerate manufacturing capabilities across the U.S.
