NVIDIA Builds World’s First Industrial AI Cloud to Advance European Manufacturing
In an effort to transform European industry, NVIDIA has revealed a ground-breaking plan to build the first industrial AI cloud in history in Germany.
European industrial leaders will be able to use advanced applications from design to operations thanks to the cloud, which is powered by 10,000 GPUs using DGX B200 systems and RTX PRO Servers.
Leading firms including Mercedes-Benz, Maserati, Schaeffler, and BMW Group are partners in this ambitious endeavor.
These businesses are moving toward simulation-first, AI-driven manufacturing capabilities by incorporating NVIDIA-accelerated apps from industry heavyweights Ansys, Cadence, and Siemens.
Notable progress has already been documented: the BMW Group has seen a 30x boost in aerodynamics simulation speed, while Volvo Cars has accelerated fluid simulations by 2.5x utilizing Ansys Fluent on NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs. Additionally, Schaeffler has implemented AI-powered automation in over 100 of its manufacturing facilities.
The NVIDIA Omniverse Blueprint for AI factory design and operations will serve as the foundation for the development of the AI infrastructure, which will make use of tools such as Cadence's Reality Digital Twin to maximize the facility's performance in a virtual simulation environment.
To serve industrial AI workloads for European manufacturers, NVIDIA is assisting in the construction of an AI factory in Germany. 10,000 GPUs, including NVIDIA DGX B200 systems and NVIDIA RTX PRO Servers, will be available at the industrial AI factory. These GPUs will run workloads accelerated by NVIDIA CUDA-XTM libraries, NVIDIA RTXTM, and NVIDIA OmniverseTM from top software suppliers like Siemens, Ansys, Cadence, and Rescale.
The NVIDIA Omniverse Blueprint for AI factory design and operations will serve as the foundation for the construction of the AI factory. The engineering teams will be able to create a more intelligent and dependable facility by simulating and optimizing the complete AI factory in a physically realistic virtual environment using Cadence's Reality Digital Twin Platform as part of this blueprint.
In preparation for AI gigafactories, this investment will operate as a springboard to quicken the development and uptake of AI by European businesses.
