The Ola Digital Twin platform also includes thermal simulation capabilities for developing next-generation Krutrim data centers and liquid-cooling infrastructure.Ola Electric, India’s largest pure-play EV company, has announced the launch of its Ola Digital Twin platform, designed to transform manufacturing processes and product development. Developed on the NVIDIA Omniverse, this platform integrates Krutrim AI, NVIDIA technologies, advanced simulation tools, and IoT platforms to accelerate the planning of manufacturing facilities, optimise equipment layouts, and enhance product development lifecycles.
Comprehensive digital twin environment
The Ola Digital Twin platform aims to create a comprehensive digital twin environment that streamlines planning and improves the efficiency of Ola Electric’s manufacturing operations. It leverages physically accurate simulations and generative AI for tasks such as kinematic simulations and generating synthetic image data to train autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) and robotic arms.
NVIDIA Omniverse integration
By incorporating NVIDIA Omniverse — a platform of application programming interfaces (APIs), software development kits, and services — and NVIDIA Isaac Sim — a simulation platform built on Omniverse for designing and testing robots — Ola Electric has reduced the time from design to commissioning by over 20% at its Futurefactory.
Ola Electric has also deployed the Ola Digital Twin in its autonomous robotic weld lines at the Futurefactory, enabling simulation of welding processes and quality inspection systems, allowing virtual testing and adjustments before implementing them physically.
“Ola Electric has achieved over 20% faster time-to-market from design to commissioning at its Futurefactory,” remarked the company. Developers at Ola Electric use the platform's generative AI capabilities and NVIDIA Omniverse APIs to generate synthetic assets, including lighting, environment scenes, objects, and defects. This accelerates perception AI model training from months to weeks, making it possible to train on scenarios challenging to replicate in the real world.
Additional capabilities of the Ola Digital Twin platform
The Ola Digital Twin platform also includes thermal simulation capabilities for developing next-generation Krutrim data centers and liquid-cooling infrastructure.
Additionally, Ola Consumer uses NVIDIA Isaac Sim to train its robot pick-and-place applications for complex stock-keeping units in automated dark stores. Here, robots are trained in virtual simulations to autonomously manage intricate operations in dynamic, automated settings.
With these advancements, Ola Electric aims to enhance manufacturing precision, reduce development timelines, and improve overall efficiency through advanced simulations and AI-driven training.
