Foxconn is pushing the boundaries of automation with a virtual factory in Guadalajara to produce NVIDIA Blackwell HGX systems. The company aims to increase manufacturing efficiency of complex servers, leading to significant cost savings and reducing kilowatt-hour usage by over 30% annually.
Foxconn is teaming up with NVIDIA and Siemens to build a digital twin using Siemens Xcelerator software and NVIDIA Omniverse platform. The digital twin will ensure the physical accuracy and visual realism of the factory, allowing engineers to design robot work cells and assembly lines efficiently.
Foxconn is training AI robots in their digital twin to streamline factory processes. The robots, including Epson arms, are learning how to see, grasp, and move objects using NVIDIA Isaac Manipulator. Additionally, AMRs from FARobot are navigating the factory floor using NVIDIA Perceptor software for obstacle detection.
Industrial digitization is a global trend, with Foxconn designing digital twins for factories worldwide and deploying NVIDIA Metropolis for AI-powered vision. Other electronics makers like Delta Electronics and MSI are also utilizing NVIDIA AI and Omniverse to make their factories more agile, autonomous, and sustainable to meet the demand for billions of devices yearly.
