Building digital twins of AI factories before they are built
NVIDIA's Omniverse team and AVEVA, part of Schneider Electric, are joining frontier AI and industrial software to create virtual replicas of the large data centers that train and run AI models.
One workflow, three stages
Where the digital twin fits across an AI factory's life
01
Plan & design
Model the facility virtually before construction to plan layouts and infrastructure.
→
02
Build & run alongside
Use the virtual model next to physical construction and early operation.
→
03
Operate day to day
Support ongoing management of power, cooling and equipment arrangements.
What the announcement signals
AI data center design is becoming more complex in power, cooling and equipment.
Simulation is being extended from design into everyday operations.
NVIDIA's 3D simulation platform and AVEVA's engineering software are being paired.
What is not yet known
No technical specifications have been published.
No customer deployments or performance figures are available.
No independent assessment has confirmed how the offering works in practice.
Read as a direction, not a result
This is an early signal of where AI infrastructure software is heading, not a verified account of results.
Open questions
How broadly will the tools be available?
Which customers are involved?
Does the approach deliver measurable gains in build time, energy efficiency or operating costs?
