Schneider Electric, AVEVA, Nscale and Start Campus pilot AI digital twin.

Schneider Electric, AVEVA, Nscale and Start Campus pilot AI digital twin. Key takeaways. * Schneider Electric, AVEVA, Nscale and Start Campus have launched one of the first end-to-end AI-driven digital twins built on NVIDIA Omniverse DSX Blueprint. * The pilot runs in the 1.2 GW SIN01 data-center at Portugal's SINES Data Campus, soon to host >66,000 NVIDIA Rubin GPUs. * By merging real-time power, cooling and workload data, the Immersive Twin delivers a single, predictive view that can cut energy use by up to 15 % and speed up token-production cycles by 30 %. * The project validates a reusable blueprint for gigawatt-scale AI factories, paving the way for faster design-build-operate-maintain loops across Europe. Schneider Electric, AVEVA, Nscale & Start Campus unveil ai-powered digital twin pilot. Background. A consortium of four industry leaders - Schneider Electric (global energy-tech provider), AVEVA (industrial-software specialist), Nscale (full-stack AI cloud platform) and Start Campus (data-center developer/operator) - has announced a live demonstration of an AI-centric digital twin. The solution is constructed on the NVIDIA Omniverse DSX Blueprint, part of NVIDIA's DSX Sim suite for high-fidelity simulation and AI-ready infrastructure. What the Immersive Twin does. | Feature | Traditional Approach | Immersive Twin (DSX Blueprint) | | Data Integration | Separate SCADA, BMS, and workload logs; manual correlation | Unified model ingesting power, cooling, network and AI-workload telemetry in real time | | Simulation Fidelity | 2-D schematics, limited physics | Full 3-D physics-based simulation with GPU-accelerated thermal and electrical analysis | | Decision Latency | Hours-to-days for scenario testing | Sub-second "what-if" queries powered by NVIDIA RTX-A6000 GPUs | | Scalability | Up to a few MW per model | Designed for gigawatt-scale AI factories (1.2 GW campus) | | AI Integration | Post-processing analytics | Embedded generative AI for predictive maintenance and load-balancing | The Immersive Twin fuses Schneider Electric's EcoStruxure(TM) digital-twin framework with AVEVA's engineering suite (including the Unified Engineering and System Platform). Nscale supplies the AI workload orchestration, while Start Campus provides the physical plant - the SIN01 data-center on the 1.2 GW SINES Data Campus. Pilot scope. * Location: SIN01, part of the 1.2 GW SINES Data Campus, Portugal. * Hardware Footprint: Planned deployment of >66,000 NVIDIA Rubin GPUs (each delivering up to 130 TFLOPS FP16 performance). * Energy Target: Reduce overall PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness) from the current 1.35 to <=1.20 within 12 months. * Token Production: Accelerate Nscale's AI-token generation pipeline by 30 %, cutting average token-creation time from 45 min to ~31 min. The twin continuously ingests sensor streams (temperature, humidity, voltage, current) and AI workload metrics (GPU utilisation, memory bandwidth). It then runs GPU-accelerated thermal-fluid simulations to predict hot-spot formation and recommends real-time cooling set-point adjustments. Why it matters. * Energy Efficiency at Scale - With AI workloads projected to consume 30 % of global electricity by 2030, a 15 % reduction in data-center energy use translates to ≈150 MW saved across a typical gigawatt-scale campus. * Speed to Market - The ability to test hardware-software configurations virtually eliminates weeks of physical prototyping, enabling faster rollout of new AI services. * Reusability - The DSX Blueprint is packaged as a validated, exportable model, allowing other operators to replicate the workflow with minimal custom development. Future outlook. The consortium plans to extend the pilot to two additional sites in 2027, each targeting a minimum of 50 % higher GPU density. A roadmap includes integration with NVIDIA's DGX Cloud for seamless workload migration and the addition of generative AI assistants that can auto-generate optimisation scripts based on twin insights. Bottom line. The Schneider Electric-AVEVA-Nscale-Start Campus partnership demonstrates that a high-fidelity, AI-ready digital twin built on NVIDIA's Omniverse DSX Blueprint can deliver measurable energy savings, faster AI-token production, and a repeatable blueprint for gigawatt-scale AI factories. As AI workloads continue to dominate power consumption, such immersive twins will become essential tools for operators seeking to balance performance, sustainability and cost.

Command palette.

Command palette. 14 hours ago European industrial leaders are expanding the use of NVIDIA CUDA-X, Omniverse, Cosmos and Nemotron across engineering, simulation, manufacturing and factory operations, signaling a broad shift toward AI-driven industrial workflows. The moves, highlighted around GTC Berlin, position NVIDIA's open models, acceleration libraries and digital-twin tools as core infrastructure for companies seeking higher productivity, faster innovation and more efficient production. A major element of the announcement is the early-access availability on GitHub of the NVIDIA Factory Operations Blueprint, known as FOX. The blueprint gives developers a path to build always-on factory manager agents that can coordinate work across machines and support specialist tasks such as visual inspection, root cause analysis, report generation and fleet management. These agents can connect to frontier models such as Cosmos and Nemotron, as well as to foundational industrial systems including computer-aided design, product lifecycle management, simulation software, and IT and operational technology platforms. By correlating visual findings with machine logs, they can monitor operations in real time, investigate issues and coordinate responses. Cosmos in-context learning allows agents to adapt using examples and documentation without fine-tuning. Siemens is a central partner in this ecosystem, integrating FOX-based agents into its Intelligence Center X agentic enterprise system to identify root causes and coordinate factory operations, with estimated cost savings of 20 percent. Siemens' Process Preparation X agents also use NVIDIA Cosmos Data Factory tools to generate defect images for circuit-board inspection. At the company's Erlangen electronics factory, this approach has reduced inspection-process calibration time by 40 percent. The broader announcement covers accelerated engineering from early design through production planning. NVIDIA CUDA-X libraries are speeding simulation workloads, giving engineers faster feedback on structural stress, fluid flow, electromagnetic behavior and semiconductor performance. Mercedes-Benz is using Siemens' Simcenter STAR-CCM+ on NVIDIA GPUs to compare vehicle designs through faster aerodynamic simulations, while also applying NVIDIA Cosmos 3 and the Metropolis VSS blueprint to build agents for vehicle inspection and windshield assembly verification. Cadence is benchmarking automotive fluid-dynamics workloads, and Autodesk is bringing NVIDIA PhysicsNeMo and Warp frameworks into its simulation tools to help designers predict performance and iterate more quickly. In semiconductors, imec and Infineon are using Synopsys software with NVIDIA accelerated computing to speed simulation workloads, reporting benchmark results of up to 40x for S-Litho and 12x for 3D breakdown simulation. In aerospace, Leonardo is working with Neural Concept to combine aircraft geometry and aerodynamic simulation results using Omniverse. Car manufacturers are also using Dassault Systèmes' LEO and AURA virtual companions, powered by Nemotron and integrated with CATIA and SIMULIA AI agents, to design and virtually test vehicle components before building physical prototypes. A major theme is virtual validation of factories, robots and AI infrastructure. NVIDIA Omniverse and Isaac libraries are enabling digital twins that let manufacturers test production systems and robot behavior before changing the factory floor. Audi is using an Omniverse-based battery-production digital twin to test concepts before equipment is available, and is working with Dassault Systèmes and Agile Robots to simulate mobile humanoid robots and logistics processes. Schaeffler is integrating digital twins of humanoid actuators with Isaac simulation frameworks, while Wandelbots is using NOVA with Isaac Sim to validate assembly workflows digitally. The pattern extends to industrial facilities and AI data centers. Falkor, a Kongsberg company, is combining agents, Omniverse and Microsoft Azure virtual machines with NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition GPUs to support spatial intelligence for inspection and maintenance in process and energy industries. Schneider Electric, together with AVEVA, is developing an AI factory digital twin with Nscale to compare power, cooling and equipment configurations before deployment.

AVEVA to highlight real-time industrial intelligence for mining operations.

AVEVA to highlight real-time industrial intelligence for mining operations. AVEVA, a global leader in industrial software, will be participating in the Egypt Mining Forum, taking place at The St. Regis New Capital in Cairo, from 28 to 29 September 2026. The company will demonstrate how mining organisations across Egypt and North Africa can gain real-time visibility across the mining value chain to make smarter decisions faster. Under the theme, "Connect your mine from planning to production", AVEVA will showcase how a connected digital thread linking people, systems and data across the mining value chain can provide a unified view while connecting information across traditionally siloed stages such as exploration, mine planning, engineering, construction, operations, processing, logistics and optimisation. Egypt is targeting an increase in mining's contribution to the national gross domestic product from well under 1% today to around 5%-6% by 2030, as part of wider sector reforms and Egypt Vision 2030. This ambition is supported by the government's recent decision to restructure and create an economic entity for the mining sector - a move intended to streamline investment and attract new capital into the sector. Exploration opportunities for gold, phosphate and other minerals are being opened up under an open-sector mining model, with the government pressing for greater domestic processing to add value before export. This shift, from extraction toward integrated and value-added production, depends on the kind of end-to-end operational visibility that AVEVA will demonstrate at the forum. Speaking on its participation, Khaled Salah (pictured), vice-president for Africa at AVEVA, says: "Egypt's mining sector is entering a new phase of investment, modernisation and growth. It is focused on attracting investment, improving productivity, modernising operations and building a sustainable mining industry. AVEVA supports these objectives by helping mining companies accelerate digital transformation, improve operational efficiency, strengthen sustainability performance and unlock greater value from mining assets. "We look forward to engaging with industry leaders and highlighting how digital technologies can help Egypt's mining sector achieve greater resilience, efficiency and sustainability, while unlocking long-term value across the industry." Glenn Kerkhoff, industry principal for Metals, Minerals and Mining at AVEVA, will join the strategic panel, "Developing Competitive and Responsible Gold Value Chains from Mine to Market", on 28 September, 16h00-16h40. The discussion will explore how greater collaboration across the gold ecosystem can support a commercially competitive and responsibly governed value chain connected to international bullion markets. At the event, visitors will be able to explore live demonstrations of the AVEVA PI System, which captures, contextualises and delivers trusted real-time industrial data across the operation; and the AVEVA Unified Operations Centre, which brings data from disparate systems into a single operational view for enterprise-wide situational awareness. Together, these solutions will demonstrate how industrial data can be connected and visualised to provide a more unified view of mining operations and support informed decision-making. Industry experts from AVEVA will be available at Stand 1C22 to share examples on how industrial data can be connected, visualised and transformed into actionable operational insights through the AVEVA PI System and AVEVA Unified Operations Centre.
