Ola Electric Introduces digital twin platform to transform EV manufacturing

Ola Electric, has introduced the Ola Digital Twin platform, aiming to revolutionize manufacturing procedures and product innovation. Built on the NVIDIA Omniverse, this system combines Krutrim AI, NVIDIA technologies, advanced simulation tools, and IoT platforms to speed up the design of manufacturing facilities, improve equipment arrangements, and enhance product development cycles.

The goal of the Ola Digital Twin platform is to establish a complete digital twin setting that enhances planning and boosts the efficiency of Ola Electric's manufacturing operations. Physically accurate simulations and generative AI are utilized for tasks like kinematic simulations and creating synthetic image data to train autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) and robotic arms.

Ola Electric has decreased the time from design to commissioning by more than 20% at its Futurefactory by utilizing NVIDIA Omniverse, a platform with APIs, SDKs, and services, along with NVIDIA Isaac Sim, a simulation platform for building and testing robots within Omniverse.

Ola Electric has integrated the Ola Digital Twin into its self-operating robotic weld stations at the Futurefactory, allowing for simulation of welding procedures and quality control mechanisms, enabling virtual testing and modifications prior to physical implementation.

“Ola Electric has achieved over 20% faster time-to-market from design to commissioning at its Futurefactory,” remarked the company. Developers at Ola Electric use the platform's generative AI capabilities and NVIDIA Omniverse APIs to generate synthetic assets, including lighting, environment scenes, objects, and defects. This accelerates perception AI model training from months to weeks, making it possible to train on scenarios challenging to replicate in the real world.
