Manufacturers are investing in digitalization and virtual factories to address challenges like semiconductor demand, onshoring, and sustainability goals. Virtual factories offer benefits like streamlined communication, contextualized planning, optimized design, and intelligent operations.

These virtual factories serve as a testing ground for AI and robotics, enabling developers to train and test autonomous systems. OpenUSD technology plays a crucial role in building large-scale virtual factories by harmonizing data from various sources and enabling real-time insights for factory teams.

Industry leaders like Autodesk, Continental, Pegatron, Rockwell Automation, Siemens, and Wistron are developing virtual-factory solutions on OpenUSD and NVIDIA Omniverse. These solutions help optimize factory layouts, reduce time to market, enhance collaboration, and improve worker efficiency, showcasing the transformative potential of virtual factories in modern manufacturing.
