The new subscription offering for Omniverse Cloud on Azure makes it easy for automotive teams โ from design and engineering to smart factory to marketing โ to digitalize their workflows, whetherย connecting 3D design toolsย to accelerate vehicle development, building digital twins of automotive factories or running closed-loop simulations to test vehicle performance.
โEvery manufactured object, from massive physical facilities to handheld consumer goods, will someday have a digital twin, created to build, operate and optimize the object,โ said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. โNVIDIA Omniverse Cloud is the digital-to-physical operating system for industrial digitalization, arriving just in time for the trillions of dollars of new EV, battery and chip factories that are being built.โ
Omniverse Cloud Delivers Ultimate Flexibility and Scalability
Through Omniverse Cloud, NVIDIA and Microsoft provide customers aย full-stack cloud environmentย and platform capabilities to design, develop, deploy and manage industrial metaverse applications. Omniverse Cloud also connects with the products that customers use from NVIDIAโs partner ecosystem.
Powered by NVIDIA OVX computing systems, Omniverse Cloud enables enterprise developers to customize foundation applications that are included with the platform-as-a-service:
- Omniverse USD Composer (formerly Omniverse Create)ย โ to assemble applications based on the Universal Scene Description (USD) framework,ย compose industrial virtual worldsย and createย digital twins.
- Omniverse USD-GDN Publisherย โ to publish interactive USD applications such as product configurators to theย NVIDIA Graphics Delivery Network, enabling streaming of advanced 3D experiences to any device, anywhere.
- NVIDIA Isaac Simโขย โ to train and simulateย AI-based robots.
- NVIDIA DRIVE Simโขย โ to test and validateย autonomous vehicles.
- Omniverse Replicatorย โ toย generate 3D synthetic dataย to accelerate the training and accuracy of computer vision AI networks.

Automotive Makers Adopting Omniverse to Achieve Digitalization
Omniverse Cloud builds on the success of and experience with earlyย Omniverse Enterpriseย customers, including BMW Group, Geely Lotus and Jaguar Land Rover.
BMW Group, which was the first carmaker to adopt Omniverse to build a fully digitalized smart factory, today announced that it willย launch the current Omniverse Enterprise platform across its production network worldwide.
โNVIDIA Omniverse has given us an unprecedented ability to design, build and test complex manufacturing systems, which means we can plan and optimize a next-generation factory completely virtually before we build it in the physical world,โ said Milan Nedeljkoviฤ, board member for production at BMW AG. โThis will save us time and resources, increase our sustainability efforts and improve operational efficiencies.โ
Geely Lotus is adopting Omniverse Enterprise to buildย digital twinsย of factories to optimize manufacturing processes.
Jaguar Land Rover is using Omniverse to generate synthetic data to train AI models, as well as validate perception and control algorithms through real-world driving scenarios. The vehicle maker has integrated Omniverse with its state-of-the-art vehicle dynamics models, virtual electronic control units, virtual automotive networks and cloud infrastructure, enabling teams to rapidly iterate software concepts.
