羅克韋爾自動化與英偉達(dá)合作擴(kuò)大制造業(yè)人工智能的規(guī)模和范圍

Rockwell Automation, the world’s largest company dedicated to industrial automation and digital transformation, has announced it is collaborating with NVIDIA to accelerate a next-generation industrial architecture.

全球最大的致力于工業(yè)自動化和數(shù)字化轉(zhuǎn)型的公司羅克韋爾自動化宣布與英偉達(dá)（NVIDIA）合作加速下一代工業(yè)架構(gòu)的開發(fā)。

Manufacturing is a $15-trillion global industry that touches everything humans need to survive and thrive—from clean water to food, life-saving drugs and therapies, sustainable energy, mobility and more. Rockwell plans to evolve the industry by creating the factory of the future, making it easier for automation customers to digitalize industrial processes. Factories of the future will be characterized by enhanced sensing capabilities with machine vision, accelerated compute capability in control systems, advanced simulations equipped with learning agents, widespread adoption of autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) and generative AI (GenAI) experiences to enhance information retrieval for frontline operators.

制造業(yè)是一個(gè)價(jià)值15萬億美元的全球產(chǎn)業(yè)，涉及人類生存和繁榮所需的一切——從清潔水到食品、救生藥物和療法、可持續(xù)能源、流動性等等。羅克韋爾計(jì)劃通過創(chuàng)建未來工廠來發(fā)展該行業(yè)，使自動化客戶更容易實(shí)現(xiàn)工業(yè)流程數(shù)字化。未來工廠的特點(diǎn)是通過機(jī)器視覺增強(qiáng)傳感能力、控制系統(tǒng)加速計(jì)算能力、配備學(xué)習(xí)代理的高級模擬、廣泛采用自主移動機(jī)器人 (AMR) 和生成式人工智能 (GenAI) 經(jīng)驗(yàn)，以增強(qiáng)一線操作人員的信息檢索。

“Our work with NVIDIA is poised to help accelerate the future of industrial operations and create value across our portfolio of software, hardware and services—from the cloud to the factory floor,” said Jordan Reynolds, vice president, Artificial Intelligence and Autonomy, Rockwell Automation.

羅克韋爾人工智能和自動化副總裁 Jordan Reynolds 表示：“我們與英偉達(dá)的合作將有助于加速工業(yè)運(yùn)營的未來，并在我們的軟件、硬件和服務(wù)產(chǎn)品組合中創(chuàng)造價(jià)值——從云到工廠車間。”

Rockwell will further integrate NVIDIA Omniverse Cloud application programming interfaces (APIs) with Emulate3D by Rockwell Automation, bringing users data interoperability, live collaboration and physically based visualization for designing, building and operating industrial-scale digital twins of production systems.

羅克韋爾將進(jìn)一步將NVIDIA Omniverse Cloud應(yīng)用程序編程接口(API)與羅克韋爾自動化的Emulate3D集成，為用戶帶來數(shù)據(jù)互操作性、實(shí)時(shí)協(xié)作和基于物理的可視化，以設(shè)計(jì)、構(gòu)建和操作生產(chǎn)系統(tǒng)的工業(yè)規(guī)模數(shù)字孿生。

“The demand for the accelerated computing needed to create, simulate and operate large-scale digital twins is rising,” said Rev Lebaredian, vice president, Omniverse and Simulation Technology, NVIDIA. “Rockwell will integrate NVIDIA Omniverse Cloud APIs with its Emulate3D digital twin application to help make factory analysis, including operations and simulation, easier and more predictive than ever.”

英偉達(dá)Omniverse和模擬技術(shù)副總裁Rev Lebaredian表示:“創(chuàng)建、模擬和運(yùn)行大規(guī)模數(shù)字孿生體所需的加速計(jì)算需求正在上升。羅克韋爾將 NVIDIA Omniverse Cloud API 與其 Emulate3D 數(shù)字孿生應(yīng)用程序集成，以幫助工廠分析（包括操作和模擬）變得比以往更容易和更具預(yù)測性。”

The lack of labor force and a need for more efficiency are driving huge demand for intelligent automation and robotics in manufacturing and logistics. By developing on the NVIDIA robotics platform for edge AI, Rockwell is helping to bring AMRs—through its recent acquisition of OTTO Motors—and process automation applications to industrial customers.

勞動力的缺乏和對更高效率的需求正在推動制造和物流領(lǐng)域?qū)χ悄茏詣踊蜋C(jī)器人技術(shù)的巨大需求。通過在英偉達(dá)邊緣人工智能機(jī)器人平臺上進(jìn)行開發(fā)，羅克韋爾最近收購了OTTO Motors，幫助將自主移動機(jī)器人和流程自動化應(yīng)用帶給工業(yè)客戶。

A recent survey from Rockwell Automation shows AI ranks as the top feature that manufacturers believe will drive the biggest business outcomes. In fact, 83 percent of manufacturers expect to use GenAI in their operations in 2024. As part of this collaboration, NVIDIA is now an official member of the Rockwell Automation PartnerNetwork, meaning Rockwell customers can use NVIDIA applications to help make their operations more resilient, agile and sustainable.

羅克韋爾自動化最近的一項(xiàng)調(diào)查顯示，人工智能被列為制造商認(rèn)為將推動最大業(yè)務(wù)成果的首要功能。事實(shí)上，83%的制造商預(yù)計(jì)到2024年將在運(yùn)營中使用生成式人工智能。作為此次合作的一部分，英偉達(dá)現(xiàn)已成為羅克韋爾自動化合作伙伴網(wǎng)絡(luò)的正式成員，這意味著羅克韋爾客戶可以使用英偉達(dá)應(yīng)用程序來幫助他們提高運(yùn)營的韌性、靈活性和可持續(xù)性。
