MetAI to Debut AI-Powered Controller Simulator at NVIDIA GTC 2025, Advancing Digital Twins for Industrial Automation

TAIPEI, March 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- MetAI, a Taiwanese startup pioneering AI-powered digital twins to accelerate Physical AI and industrial automation, will showcase its latest technology developments at NVIDIA GTC 2025. With a focus on bridging operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT) through simulation technologies, MetAI aims to unlock new efficiencies in how industries design, validate, and optimize automation solutions.

At GTC 2025, MetAI will introduce its Controller Simulator, a new technology concept that brings controller logic simulation directly into digital twins—allowing businesses to test, refine, and visualize automation workflows such as PLC programming within a physically accurate, AI-powered virtual environment.

Unveiling MetAI's Controller Simulator: Laying the Foundation for Smarter Automation

The Controller Simulator, which will be demonstrated at MetAI's booth in the GTC Industrial & Physical AI Pavilion, enables engineers to create, simulate, and validate automation logic (such as PLC codes) directly inside applications developed on the NVIDIA Omniverse platform and NVIDIA Isaac Sim, reducing testing time and enhancing cross-team collaboration.

This innovation aims to address a critical gap between OT and IT teams, helping automation designers and AI developers collaborate within the same digital environment.
Expected key benefits include:

• Intuitive Logic Design: Design automation logic using an easy-to-understand ladder diagram UI, reducing the learning curve for non-technical users.
• Digital Twin Integration: The Controller Simulator integrates with NVIDIA Omniverse-based digital twins simulations allowing users to validate PLC logic in a physically accurate simulation environment before real-world deployment.
• AI-Powered Copilot Assistance: AI Agents assist users in generating and optimizing automation logic, significantly enhancing efficiency and reducing development time.
• Seamless PLC Deployment: The finalized logic is immediately deployable to physical PLCs without additional conversion steps, ensuring a smooth transition from simulation to real-world implementation.

Attendees at GTC Booth #134 will have the opportunity to experience a demo of the Controller Simulator, exploring how MetAI is developing new ways to bridge the physical and digital worlds for industrial automation.

Collaborating with Kenmec and Chief Logistics to Validate Real-World Value

Alongside the Controller Simulator, MetAI will also share its latest collaboration with Kenmec and Chief Logistics, showcasing how simulation-driven design could help accelerate warehouse automation projects in the future.

In this ongoing project, MetAI is working with Kenmec to simulate warehouse workflows, including equipment operation and smart sensor/camera placements, in an application built on NVIDIA Omniverse. The goal is to help Kenmec and Chief Logistics evaluate and optimize system designs before real-world installation—reducing costly on-site rework and enabling faster decision-making.

This work is a foundational step toward enabling fully integrated automation design and AI training pipelines for future smart factories and warehouses.

Aligned with NVIDIA "Mega" Blueprint Vision for Industrial AI

MetAI is an early adopter of "Mega", an NVIDIA Omniverse Blueprint for testing multi-robot fleets at scale in industrial digital twins.

As a member of NVIDIA Inception, MetAI is working closely with NVIDIA to explore new workflows that combine NVIDIA Omniverse, Isaac Sim, and MetAI's own generative and simulation technologies—helping industries establish more scalable and intelligent automation development processes.
