Hexagon, the global leader in digital information technology solutions, recently announced a partnership with Nvidia Corporation in the field of industrial digital twin solutions, which will combine reality capture, artificial intelligence, simulation and visualization technologies to build virtual to reality real-time digital twins.

SNPM22 Hexagon said the partnership will integrate advanced technologies and superior resources from both sides to enable seamless multi-user workflows through a unified view of plant planning and design as well as process quality optimization and operations.

As part of the partnership, Hexagon’s HxDR reality capture platform and Nexus manufacturing platform will be connected to Nvidia Omniverse. Nvidia Omniverse is a platform for developing and running industrial metaverse applications based on the Common Scenario Description (USD) SNPM22 framework. Hexagon said that the two connected platforms provide complementary technologies that can help users advance the construction of digital factories and enhance the application of digital twins in smart cities, the construction industry and infrastructure.

Paolo Guglielmini, President and CEO of Hexagon Group, said: “Hexagon’s technology innovation team continues to interact with Nvidia to develop a solution that integrates reality capture, artificial intelligence, data analytics, simulation and visualization with a seamless collaborative planning platform. Combined with Nvidia’s and Hexagon’s advanced digital technologies, this solution will enable real-time comparison of real-world and virtual world models.”

Hexagon said that through real-time SNPM22 data capture and analysis, the intelligent industrial digital twin solution will provide users with a 360-degree real-time panorama, helping the manufacturing industry to increase productivity, improve quality, safety and profitability.

“Every industry is racing to digitize its physical processes for the next wave of advanced automation,” “By partnering with Hexagon, we will bridge the gap between the real and virtual worlds, which is a prerequisite for building a digital twin that enables us to train robots in the virtual world and move SNPM22 toward autonomy in mobile devices,” said Rev Lebaredian, vice president of all-universe and simulation technologies at Nvidia.
