A new Omniverse Cloud subscription offering on Azure makes it easy for automotive professionals, from designers and engineers to production managers and marketers, to digitize all their workflows, whether it’s connecting 3D design tools to speed up car development, creating digital twins of car factories, or various simulations for vehicle testing. Omniverse Cloud on Microsoft Azure will become fully available in the second half of 2023.
“Every industrial facility, from huge physical complexes to small consumer goods businesses, will someday have a digital twin built to develop, operate, and optimize the facility,” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. — NVIDIA Omniverse Cloud — <…> an operating environment for industrial digitalization, just in time for the construction of trillions of dollars of new factories to produce electric vehicles, batteries and microchips.”

With Omniverse Cloud, NVIDIA and Microsoft will provide customers with a complete cloud environment for designing, developing, deploying and managing industrial metaverse applications. Omniverse Cloud also allows you to leverage products from the NVIDIA partner ecosystem used by its customers. Omniverse Cloud specifically includes the following services:
Omniverse USD Composer (formerly Omniverse Create) and Omniverse USD-GDN Publisher are applications for developing and publishing interactive solutions based on the Universal Scene Description (USD), including for creating industrial virtual worlds and creating digital twins. NVIDIA Isaac Sim is an AI robotics training and simulation solution. NVIDIA DRIVE Sim is a simulation application for testing and validating autonomous vehicles. Omniverse Replicator is a 3D synthetic data generation solution for accelerating training and improving the accuracy of AI computer vision models.
Among the first users of Omniverse Enterprise are well-known automotive brands BMW Group, Geely Lotus and Jaguar Land Rover. In particular, the BMW Group, which was the first automotive company to implement Omniverse to create a fully digitized smart factory, today announced the launch of the Omniverse Enterprise platform across its global manufacturing network. Geely Lotus implements Omniverse Enterprise to create digital twins of factories to streamline manufacturing processes. Jaguar Land Rover uses Omniverse to create synthetic data to train AI models and test perception and control algorithms in real-life driving scenarios.
