MetAI is transforming smart manufacturing, warehousing and logistics through groundbreaking generative AI and 3D simulation capabilities in NVIDIA Omniverse. The company’s proprietary generative model combines AI and Omniverse simulations to create complete OpenUSD SimReady digital twin environments in under four minutes, leveraging powerful NVIDIA RTX GPUs.
This revolutionary technology drastically reduces the time required for trial, modification, planning, and communication across smart logistics projects. As showcased at COMPUTEX 2024, MetAI demonstrated a fully automated smart logistics center designed by KENMEC, seamlessly integrating solutions from Solomon and Coretronic.
The demo vividly illustrated how users can streamline complex shipping workflows in just minutes by stating “AI automatically interprets layout symbols, fetches the corresponding SimReady asset from MetAI’s database, and accurately places it in the corresponding position on the layout.” MetAI’s AI procedural generation model then “automatically generates SimReady conveyors with physical properties” based on interpreted layout contours and user parameters.
For logistics racks, the AI “automatically generates a SimReady asset at the precise location” specified by the given rack parameters. This unparalleled automation enables “a complete SimReady virtual warehouse environment [to] be generated automatically in under 4 minutes.”
Within this digital twin logistics center, MetAI successfully integrated multi-vendor technologies like Coretronic’s AMR obstacle avoidance using the NVIDIA Orin developer kit, Solomon’s robotic arm object manipulation via 3D machine vision and Isaac Manipulator, and more. Users could “simulate and validate the optimization of the process from picking to shipping customer orders” with high fidelity.
By empowering rapid iteration on smart warehouse designs, MetAI is “accelerating the verification of warehouse and logistics solutions” in partnership with NVIDIA. This transformative platform cuts traditional “planning from a layout to a 3D simulation from 300 hours to 4 minutes” while reducing “planning to execution time by 40%.” MetAI is truly bridging the real and virtual worlds to revolutionize smart logistics.
