Nvidia is building an industrial AI cloud in Germany to help European manufacturers use artificial intelligence (AI) in their operations. The facility, described as an AI factory, will be powered by 10,000 GPUs through Nvidia DGX B200 systems and Nvidia RTX PRO Servers.
The cloud setup aims to support many manufacturing tasks, including design, engineering, simulation, robotics, and factory digital twins. By working with software from companies like Ansys, Cadence, Siemens, and Rescale, the facility will provide the tools needed for a range of industrial applications.
“In the era of AI, every manufacturer needs two factories: one for making things, and one for creating the intelligence that powers them,” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of Nvidia. “By building Europe’s first industrial AI infrastructure, we’re enabling the region’s leading industrial companies to advance simulation-first, AI-driven manufacturing.”
Nvidia said companies such as BMW Group, Maserati, Mercedes-Benz, and Schaeffler are already using its accelerated applications.
Building with a digital twin approach
The cloud will run workloads using Nvidia’s CUDA-X libraries, Nvidia RTX, and the Nvidia Omniverse platform. These tools are expected to help manufacturers simulate and improve different parts of the production process before building or changing anything physically.
Nvidia’s AI factory will follow the Omniverse Blueprint, a guide for designing AI-powered facilities. Part of this approach involves using Cadence’s Reality Digital Twin Platform, which allows the whole facility to be built and tested virtually. The goal is to create a smarter and more reliable system from the start.
This project is expected to help speed up AI use in manufacturing and support the growth of future AI-powered factories in Europe.
