Schneider Electric, AVEVA, and ETAP announced their membership in the Alliance for OpenUSD, aimed at enhancing software interoperability and establishing open standards for industrial simulation and collaborative design. This initiative enables the creation of digital twins, facilitating improvements in building design, sustainability, and equipment optimization across various sectors, including buildings and energy grids.

The companies align with NVIDIA's vision to develop scalable, simulation-ready (SimReady) digital assets that accurately model the physical environment and utilize Generative AI (GenAI) for improved decision-making processes. Joining the Alliance supports shared goals of creating interoperable 3D models and digital twin technology essential for industrial applications.

By adopting OpenUSD as a central framework, Schneider Electric, AVEVA, and ETAP seek to drive advancements in the simulation of power systems, enhancing collaboration within complex environments such as data centers and factories. These companies aim to accelerate the deployment of Artificial Intelligence (AI) infrastructures, leveraging NVIDIA's capabilities to ensure the interoperability of tools and data types necessary for effective digital transformation.

Jim Simonelli, Senior Vice President and CTO for Data Centers at Schneider Electric, stated, “OpenUSD is more than a file format, it's a virtual bridge between industries.” This investment in open standards reflects a commitment to fostering a collaborative ecosystem that integrates AI and energy systems effectively.

As industries increasingly rely on digital twins and advanced modeling techniques, this partnership reflects ongoing efforts to improve operational efficiency and sustainability. The collaboration is positioned to enhance the development of AI-powered infrastructures across global markets.
