Into the Omniverse: Manufacturing’s Simulation-First Era Has Arrived
Manufacturing is entering a simulation-first era, shifting from traditional testing methods to high-fidelity simulations. This change is facilitated by OpenUSD, which allows for accurate synthetic training data for AI applications. Companies like ABB Robotics and JLR are already experiencing significant operational improvements through these advancements.
- ▪Manufacturers are moving away from real-world testing to high-fidelity simulations for AI training.
- ▪OpenUSD serves as the standard for reliable 3D asset transfer across various platforms.
- ▪ABB Robotics has achieved 99% accuracy in simulations, leading to reduced product introduction cycles and costs.

Editor’s note: This post is part of Into the Omniverse, a series focused on how developers, 3D practitioners, and enterprises can transform their workflows using the latest advances in OpenUSD and NVIDIA Omniverse. Manufacturing’s traditional design-build-test cycle rested on a single assumption: Real-world testing was the only reliable test environment. That assumption is now shifting. Today, high-fidelity simulation produces synthetic training data accurate enough for production-grade AI. This is enabling perception systems, reasoning models and agentic workflows to excel in live factory environments.
