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.
As industrial and physical AI streamline workflows, businesses are looking for ways to most effectively harness these technologies.
Scaling AI in industrial settings - like factories and other manufacturing facilities - presents unique challenges, such as fragmented data pipelines, siloed tools and the need for real-time, high-fidelity simulations.
The Mega NVIDIA Omniverse Blueprint - available in preview on build.nvidia.com - helps address these challenges by providing a scalable reference workflow for simulating multi-robot fleets in industrial facility digital twins, including those built with the NVIDIA Omniverse platform.
Industrial AI leaders - including Accenture, Foxconn, Kenmec, KION and Pegatron - are now using the blueprint to accelerate physical AI adoption and build autonomous systems that efficiently perform actions in industrial settings.
Built on the Universal Scene Description (OpenUSD) framework, the blueprint enables seamless data interoperability, real-time collaboration and AI-driven decision-making by unifying diverse data sources and improving simulation fidelity.
Industrial Leaders Adopt the Mega Blueprint At Hannover Messe, the world's largest industrial trade show that took place in Germany earlier this month, Accenture and Schaeffler, a leading motion technology company, showcased the adoption of the Mega blueprint to test robot fleets, including general-purpose humanoid robots, like Digit from Agility Robotics, performing material handling in kitting and commissioning areas.

KION, a supply chain solutions company, with Accenture are now using Mega to optimize warehouse and distribution processes.
At the NVIDIA GTC global AI conference in March, Accenture and Foxconn representatives discussed the impacts of introducing Mega into their industrial AI workflows.

With the Mega blueprint, developers can accelerate physical AI workflows through:
Robot Fleet Simulation: Test and train diverse robot fleets in a safe, virtual environment to ensure they work seamlessly together.
Digital Twins: Use digital twins to simulate and optimize autonomous systems before physical deployment.
Sensor Simulation and Synthetic Data Generation: Generate realistic sensor data to ensure robots can accurately perceive and respond to their real-world environment.
Facility and Fleet Management Systems Integration: Connect robot fleets with management systems for efficient coordination and optimization.
Robot Brains as Containers: Use portable, plug-and-play modules for consistent robot performance and easier management.
World Simulator With OpenUSD: Simulate industrial facilities in highly realistic virtual environments using NVIDIA Omniverse and OpenUSD.
Omniverse Cloud Sensor RTX APIs: Ensure accurate sensor simulation with NVIDIA Omniverse Cloud application programming interfaces to create detailed virtual replicas of industrial facilities.
Scheduler: Manage complex tasks and data dependencies with a built-in scheduler for smooth and efficient operations.
Video Analytics AI Agents: Integrate AI agents built with the NVIDIA AI Blueprint for video search and summarization (VSS), leveraging NVIDIA Metropolis, to enhance operational insights.
Dive deeper into the Mega blueprint architecture on the NVIDIA Technical Blog.
Industrial AI is also being accelerated by the latest Omniverse Kit SDK 107 release, including major updates for robotics application development and enhanced simulation capabilities such as RTX Real-Time 2.0.
