At NVIDIA GTC 2025, Omron demonstrated how its inspection machine and automation technologies connect to NVIDIA Omniverse to improve operational efficiency for factory automation developers. Omron’s digital twin technology was featured in the keynote speed by NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang on March 18, 2025, at 10:00am PT.
Omron Corporation (Headquarters: Shimogyo-ku, Kyoto; President and CEO: Junta Tsujinaga) showcased its latest digital twin technology at the global AI conference “NVIDIA GTC 2025” Omron’s proven automation solutions—controllers, sensors, servo motors, and safety devices—integrate with Sysmac Studio and NVIDIA Omniverse to create advanced digital twin replication environments. This enables precise internal machine replication and accelerates trouble shooting and front-loading.
Breakthroughs in Inspection & Digital Twin Integration
The NVIDIA GPU-powered CT X-ray automated inspection machine「VT-X」 series delivers the highest resolution of 0.2 µm/pix and the highest speed of 1.4 sec/FOV. Leveraging Generative AI technology and Virtual human from Aww Inc. to achieve natural language operation. Aiming to optimize inspection systems and improve user experience without skilled engineer.
“Omron will realize accurate digital twins as part of its automation solutions, realized through cutting-edge automation know-how and high-speed, high-precision control technology.” said Jaeyoung Park, General Manager, Controller Div, Product Business Division HQ, Industrial Automation Company, Omron Corporation. “By integrating NX controller and automation software Sysmac studio, which controls our advanced inspection systems, with NVIDIA Omniverse, we are providing manufacturing customers with real-time, physically accurate digital twins that unlock the full potential of digitalized manufacturing.”
AI-Powered Real Time Insights & Future Applications
As part of its GTC 2025 showcase, Omron Corporation will demonstrate how generative AI empowers skilled engineers’ knowledge with the factory floor in natural languages. Onboard the VT-X Series, Omron is demonstrating the deployment of future AI applications through the integration of LLM-powered AI assistants, such as Aww Inc.’s Virtual human. This embedded AI assistant lowers the technical barriers for new users, improving the collaboration between operators and machines for hidden process efficiencies to be unlocked quicker.
Attendees of NVIDIA GTC 2025 experienced Omron’s latest advancements in factory automation control, the VT-X Series digital twin, and generative AI applications at the company’s exhibit at Booth #139.
