According to a press release on Monday, Foxconn announced a collaboration with Nvidia to develop digital twins aimed at transforming manufacturing processes and supply chain management. The partnership is expected to facilitate the global deployment of advanced facilities and enhance corporate resilience, opening new opportunities for innovation in these domains.
This collaboration was first unveiled during Hon Hai Tech Day 2023, where Foxconn showcased its use of Nvidia’s Omniverse platform to create a 3D digital twin for simulating automated production lines at its Hsinchu factory in Taiwan. Plans are under way to expand the application of Omniverse to other Foxconn factories worldwide.
Concurrently, progress at the company’s Mexico facility highlights the integration of Nvidia Omniverse, Nvidia Isaac for robotics, Nvidia Modulus for artificial intelligence-driven simulations, and OpenUSD for seamless data interoperability.
The adoption of digital twin technology enables Foxconn to scale operations quickly by virtually simulating processes before physical implementation. This capability supports the company’s strategy for global deployment, allowing it to replicate and standardise production lines across various regions with exceptional efficiency. By ensuring consistent quality and precision, Foxconn strengthens its competitiveness in strategic global markets.
