NVIDIA announced it is building the world's first industrial AI cloud for European manufacturers. This Germany-based AI factory will feature 10,000 GPUs, including through NVIDIA DGX?? B200 systems and NVIDIA RTX PRO??

Servers, and enable Europe's industrial leaders to accelerate every manufacturing application, from design, engineering and simulation to factory digital twins and robotics. In addition, NVIDIA announced that European manufacturers including BMW Group, Maserati, Mercedes-Benz and Schaeffler are transforming their end-to-end product lifecycles -- from simulated product design and factory planning to AI-driven operations and logistics -- by running NVIDIA-accelerated applications from software leaders such as Ansys, Cadence and Siemens. Siemens and NVIDIA announced an expansion of their partnership to accelerate the next era of industrial AI and digitalization and enable the factory of the future.

The combination of Siemens' software and industrial automation leadership with NVIDIA's cutting-edge AI and accelerated computing is empowering organizations across sectors to optimize performance, boost productivity and meet sustainability goals through digitalization. Maserati is tapping into Siemens solutions powered by Omniverse application programming interfaces to interactactively visualize airflow over car bodies and improve its manufacturing process. Ansys announced it is integrating Omniverse into Ansys Fluent, a high-fidelity fluid simulation software, and into Ansys AVxcelerate Sensors to improve scene building and visualization for autonomous vehicle simulations.

Volvo Cars ran Ansys Fluent on NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs, accelerating fluid simulations by 2.5x for its EX90 electric vehicle. BMW Group is building digital twins of its production facilities, including through the use of NVIDIA Omniverse libraries. These plant-scale digital twins let BMW global production planning teams collaborate in real time, optimize the layout and design of complex manufacturing systems, and develop autonomous robot and vision AI applications prior to real-world deployment.

BMW and Siemens are also accelerating the simulation of vehicle aerodynamics while reducing energy consumption and costs.
