In this project, supply chain solutions company KION Group is collaborating with Accenture and NVIDIA as the first to adopt Mega.

  NVIDIA unveiled at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2025 "Mega,"an omniverse plan to develop, test, and optimize physical fleets of AI androbots at scale in warehouses and factories in a digital twin beforedeploying it to real-world facilities.Mega offers enterprises an NVIDIA accelerated computing referencearchitecture, AI, NVIDIA Isaac technologies, and NVIDIA Omniverse todevelop and test digital twins to test AI-powered robotic brains that powerrobots, AI agents for video analytics, equipment, and more to handleenormous complexity and scale. The new framework brings softwaredefined capabilities to physical facilities, enabling continuousdevelopment, testing, optimization, and deployment.

  NVIDIA explained that advanced warehouses and factories use fleets ofhundreds of autonomous mobile robots, robotic arm manipulators andhumanoids that work alongside people. With increasingly complex systemsof sensor and robot autonomy deployments, coordinated simulationtraining is required to optimize operations, help ensure safety, and avoiddisruptions.The firm argued that, in warehousing and distribution, operators facehighly complex decision optimization problems: arrays of variables andinterdependencies between human workers, robotic systems andequipment, and agents. Unlike the IT industry, the physical industrialmarket is still waiting for its own software-defined moment.

  

Digital twins powered by Mega  

  NVIDIA indicated that with digital twins powered by Mega, including aworldwide simulator that coordinates all robot activities and sensordata, companies can continuously update the brains of on-site robots forintelligent routes and tasks to achieve operational efficiencies.The plan uses Omniverse Cloud Sensor RTX APIs that allow roboticsdevelopers to represent sensor data from any type of smart machine in thefactory, simultaneously, for large-scale, high-fidelity sensor simulation.In this project, supply chain solutions company KION Group iscollaborating with Accenture and NVIDIA as an early adopter of Mega tostreamline operations in retail, consumer packaged goods, parcel servicesand more.

  To create operational efficiencies, KION and Accenture are adoptingMega Omniverse Blueprint to build next-generation supply chains forKION and its clients. KION can capture and digitize a warehouse digitaltwin in Omniverse by using computer-aided design files, video, lidar,images, and AI-generated data.


How does it work?  

  Digital twin technology allows warehouse managers to test andoptimize facility configurations in a risk-free virtual environment.KION, which uses NVIDIA's Omniverse and Mega, will allow operators todesign designs, optimize the mix of robots and human workers, and testthese configurations in real time, all without disrupting day-to-dayoperations.

  Beyond simulation, the digital twin also plays a key role in trainingrobots to adapt to real-world challenges. By continuously interactingwith a virtual environment, robots can learn to handle inventoryfluctuations, changes in demand, and design changes as efficiently aspossible. Robotic brains perceive the results and decide on the next action,and this cycle continues with Mega accurately tracking the status andposition of all assets in the digital twin.The collaboration also integrates AI-powered warehouse managementsoftware, which assigns tasks to virtual robots that plan and executeactions in a loop, refining their processes through endless scenario testing.
