Customers Can Expect Physics-Based And Photo Realistic Digital Twins Today
On June 29th, 2022, a venerable digital industrial and one of the leaders in the metaverse, announced a collaboration to create an industrial metaverse. The goal - accelerate the adoption and mainstream use of industrial automation. At the core of this relationship is Siemens digital transformation platform, Siemens Xcelerator, and NVIDIA's Omniverse™, a 3D-design and collaboration platform. Siemens brings physics-based digital models to the partnership while NVIDIA brings its real-tie AI to increase decision velocity. As NVIDIA states, "Omniverse is a multi-GPU scalable virtual world engine that enables teams to connect 3D design and CAD applications for collaborative design workflows and allows users to build physically accurate virtual worlds for training, testing and operating AI agents such as robots and autonomous machines." NVIDIA boasts 25,000 companies using their metaverse platform.NVIDIA

As part of the partnership, Omniverse joins the Siemens Xcelerator open partner ecosystem. Roland Busch, CEO of Siemens's, emphasized how data integration from mechanical, electrical, software, plant systems, IoT, edge networks, will drive the convergence of IT and OT. Siemen's Xcelerator brings a curated data marketplace and common set of API's to the digital twin platform.
The NVIDIA Omniverse delivers a rich AI powered, virtual world engine. Coupled with NVIDIA.AI, Siemens has access to a powerful computational engine to render the rich digital representations in real-time. In addition, one of the benefits of the NVIDiA Omniverse is the adoption and standardization on PIxar's Universal Scene Description (USD) to create photo realistic simulations from an integrated circuit to an entire factory. NVIDIA's CEO, Jensen Huang, noted at the press conference at Siemens HQ, that these tools start you "down the journey of the industrial metaverse".

Nedeljković shared how iFACTORY would enable the carmaker to make its factories more "lean, green, and digital". BMW sees a faster concept to market opportunity with their joint partnership with Siemens and NVIDIA. BMW expects the digital factory in Debrecen, Hungary to be up and running by 2025. Other customers in attendance include AT&T, GT Rail UK, and Merck Group,
The Bottom Line: Industrial Metaverse Will Accelerate Digital TTansformation
While most small and medium sized entities may not be able to afford the digital twins, companies that have NX or Tecnomatix platforms may gain access later in the year. The availability of digital twins will offer customers a highly immersive experiences and allow real time decisions in both the physical and digital worlds. Key benefits give customers the ability to:
Create creative environments for rich immersive simulations
Improve productivity for operations
Optimize processes across the product lifecycle
Access to real-time performance data
Rapid turnaround of industrial IoT solutions
Deliver greater decision velocity from data to decisions
With competitors such as Unity doubling down on its digital twins and other 3D engine companies and digital industrials in hot pursuit, customers and prospects can expect many more competitors and alternatives to arise in the delivery of data-driven digital networks (DDDNs) that will accelerate digital transformation

News Analysis: Apple WWDC Brings Many Advancements For Enterprise Users rwang0 Sun, 06/05/2022 - 18:40
WWDC Announcements Do Not Disappoint
On June 6th, 2022, Apple made some of its most significant announcements in a decade at the World Wide Developer Conference (WWDC). The live, in-person, Apple Park event, showcased the power of having a vertically integrated silicon to software approach and the benefits that over 30 million registered developers across its entire portfolio will enjoy in creating new experiences and outcomes for Apple customers.
At the heart of the announcements, the Cupertino digital giant showcased its thoughtfulness and design principles across the entire product line:
Privacy by design. Privacy features are embedded throughout every device and experience to protect the user. The new lockscreen provides customizable options that reflect the balance between privacy and personalization. Neural engines apply AI and keeps the data with the user at the device level. Apple provides app tracking transparency and a privacy report to users. More importantly, how PassKeys are designed, prevents phishing attacks from happening.
Collaboration with ease. All across the iOS 16, Watch OS, MacOS, and iPadOS, users can collaborate and share. In the new iPadOS, FreeForm allows users on Facetime to collaborate on digital surfaces. SharePlay in messages, shared photo libraries, key sharing in message apps, and FaceTime handoffs make it easier than ever to collaborate securely and with peace of mind.
Thoughtful application of analytics, automation and AI. While AI could be perceived as creepy in other design modalities, Apple has taken a concerted effort to protect the privacy of the individual. In almost every scenario, technology is designed to augment and automate based on user consent. In many cases, this technology is mindful - automated, self correcting, and optimized for the individual's well being, not the systems. In many cases, the Apple team have purposely put the human in the loop to encourage the opportunity for collaboration.
Sustainability and performance at the heart of every device. M2 power efficient performance enables faster, better, and cheaper capabilities. The second generation, 5 nano meter chip packs 20 billion transistors with a 100 GB/s unified memory bandwidth and can handle up to 15.8 trillion operations per second. Apple meets next generation sustainability requirements with industry leading performance per watt metrics.
Long term continuity. With every new WWDC, the path to a converged OS approach becomes clearer. As iOS, MacOS, iPad OS, and Watch OS advance, developers find it easier to build once, deploy on any Apple device. Many of the continuity features demonstrate interoperability with real world use cases in Fitness, Gaming, Health, CarKit, and Home Kit. Users will love the ability to apply Continuity Camera and use their iPhones as Cameras with their desktops.
Enterprise Use Cases Abound
While most of the announcements highlight the consumer nature of Apple's business, a good number of advancements can be applied for forward thinking brands, organizations, and enterprises.
B2B and B2C commerce for all. With privacy and security features such as in-app ID verification, users can not only share keys in messaging apps, but also make peer to peer payments by tapping to pay, track order status, and create a four part installment plan to pay later.
Future of work. Cross device connectivity makes it easier for colleagues, suppliers, partners, and customers to collaborate. Live captions in FaceTime improve accessibility. Apple has basically made it easier to share experiences with others in a trusted network. Expect developers to tap into FreeForm capabilities to exponetionally advance past existing offerings.
Supply chain and logistics.. The new maps capabilities allows users to add transit cards in Wallet. New multi-stop routing in MapKit and the expanded city experiences will give developers new tools to address the last mile in supply chain and logistics.
Gaming as an entry point to Metaverse. As Apple improves its Metal3 gaming engine, Apple iOS and macOS platform developers can start the process of improving the 3D experience. The capabilities to design future AR/VR capabilities will become more apparent as Apple enters the $20.7T Metaverse Economy.
The Bottom Line: Developers Have A Lot To Be Excited About
The arrival of a new iOS16, MacOS Ventura, WatchOS, and iPadOS provide developers with so many rich features to create new offerings. Gamers will appreciate the new Metal3's powerful scaling and fast resource loading and background downloading. The new M2 chips create a game changer for performance and capabilities.
Professionals in the enterprise can bring together the payments, collaboration, and search capabilities in an easier to develop environment. The new pricing model for XCode Cloud with 25 hours per month free through December 2023 will entice new developers to try the service. Across the board, developers have a lot to rejoice as the folks at Apple have created a bang up portfolio of releases just in time for WWDC.
Your POV
Which announcements from WWDC are you most excited about? Are you ready for the M2 chip? Will you take advantage of all the new capabilities in iOS16?

If one were to conduct an inventory of all the different digital technologies, platforms, services, channels, and devices that an organization uses -- and certainly most CIOs do this today -- it would come as a surprise to most. For the average organization, the numbers of items on that tech inventory would number in the hundreds, or even thousands in large organizations.
