"[Through this collaboration] we’ll bridge the gap between the real and virtual worlds — a prerequisite for building digital twins — allowing us to train robots in virtual worlds and bring autonomy to everything that moves." —Rev Lebaredian, NVIDIA
June 12, 2023 – Hexagon AB, the global leader in digital reality solutions, has announced a groundbreaking collaboration with NVIDIA, a pioneer in artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced computing. This partnership aims to transform the field of industrial digital twin solutions by integrating Hexagon’s platforms with NVIDIA Omniverse, unlocking the full potential of industrial automation.
The collaboration will combine the cutting-edge technologies from both companies to create seamless, multi-user workflows through a unified view for factory planning, design, process quality optimization, and operations. By connecting Hexagon’s HxDR reality capture platform and Nexus manufacturing platform to NVIDIA Omniverse, customers can advance their digital factories and accelerate the power of digital twins for intelligent cities, construction, and infrastructure.
Paolo Guglielmini, President and CEO of Hexagon, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership: “Our Hexagon innovation team has been working with NVIDIA to develop opportunities that unite reality capture, AI, simulation, data analysis, and visualization with seamless collaborative planning platforms. With NVIDIA technologies and Hexagon’s Smart Digital Realities, our solutions will deliver real-time comparisons of real- and virtual-world models.”
Rev Lebaredian, Vice President of Omniverse and Simulation Technology at NVIDIA, also shared his excitement for the collaboration: “In collaboration with Hexagon, we’ll bridge the gap between the real and virtual worlds — a prerequisite for building digital twins — allowing us to train robots in virtual worlds and bring autonomy to everything that moves.”
