Rockwell Automation to Increase Scale and Scope of AI in Manufacturing with NVIDIA
罗克韦尔自动化与英伟达合作扩大制造业人工智能的规模和范围

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业自动化和数字化转型的公司罗克韦尔自动化宣布与英伟达（NVIDIA）合作加速下一代工业架构的开发。

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.

制造业是一个价值15万亿美元的全球产业，涉及人类生存和繁荣所需的一切——从清洁水到食品、救生药物和疗法、可持续能源、流动性等等。罗克韦尔计划通过创建未来工厂来发展该行业，使自动化客户更容易实现工业流程数字化。未来工厂的特点是通过机器视觉增强传感能力、控制系统加速计算能力、配备学习代理的高级模拟、广泛采用自主移动机器人 (AMR) 和生成式人工智能 (GenAI) 经验，以增强一线操作人员的信息检索。

“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.

罗克韦尔人工智能和自动化副总裁 Jordan Reynolds 表示：“我们与英伟达的合作将有助于加速工业运营的未来，并在我们的软件、硬件和服务产品组合中创造价值——从云到工厂车间。”

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.

罗克韦尔将进一步将NVIDIA Omniverse Cloud应用程序编程接口(API)与罗克韦尔自动化的Emulate3D集成，为用户带来数据互操作性、实时协作和基于物理的可视化，以设计、构建和操作生产系统的工业规模数字孪生。

“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.”

英伟达Omniverse和模拟技术副总裁Rev Lebaredian表示:“创建、模拟和运行大规模数字孪生体所需的加速计算需求正在上升。罗克韦尔将 NVIDIA Omniverse Cloud API 与其 Emulate3D 数字孪生应用程序集成，以帮助工厂分析（包括操作和模拟）变得比以往更容易和更具预测性。”

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.

劳动力的缺乏和对更高效率的需求正在推动制造和物流领域对智能自动化和机器人技术的巨大需求。通过在英伟达边缘人工智能机器人平台上进行开发，罗克韦尔最近收购了OTTO Motors，帮助将自主移动机器人和流程自动化应用带给工业客户。

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.

罗克韦尔自动化最近的一项调查显示，人工智能被列为制造商认为将推动最大业务成果的首要功能。事实上，83%的制造商预计到2024年将在运营中使用生成式人工智能。作为此次合作的一部分，英伟达现已成为罗克韦尔自动化合作伙伴网络的正式成员，这意味着罗克韦尔客户可以使用英伟达应用程序来帮助他们提高运营的韧性、灵活性和可持续性。
