Delta exhibited its knowledge heart and different applied sciences at NVIDIA GTC 2024. Supply: Delta Electronics

SAN JOSE, Calif. — Synthetic intelligence and robotics each devour energy, however simulation, next-generation processors, and good product design can mitigate the draw. At NVIDIA Corp.’s GTC occasion final week, Delta Electronics Inc. demonstrated how its digital twin platform, developed on NVIDIA Omniverse, may help improve sensible manufacturing capabilities.

“We’ve partnered with NVIDIA on energy-efficient designs to help AI,” Franziskus Gehle, common supervisor of the Energy Options enterprise unit at Delta, instructed The Robotic Report. “We’ve co-developed 5.5 kW designs for 98% effectivity.”

The Taipei, Taiwan-based firm defined how its applied sciences can profit industrial automation and warehouse operations. Delta additionally confirmed its ORV3 AI server infrastructure product and DC converters and different applied sciences designed to help graphics processing unit (GPU) operations.

Delta designs simulation to handle automation

Based in 1971, Delta Electronics stated it’s a international chief in switching energy provides and thermal administration merchandise. The corporate’s portfolio contains techniques for industrial automation, constructing automation, telecommunications energy, knowledge heart infrastructure, electrical automobile charging, renewable vitality, and vitality storage and show.

Delta added that its energy-efficient merchandise can help sustainable improvement. The corporate has gross sales workplaces, analysis and improvement facilities, and factories at practically 200 places all over the world. It offers articulated robotic arms, SCARA robots, and robotic controllers with built-in servo drives.

“Since 1995, Delta has equipped automation elements, and it now affords a full product line,” stated Claire Ou, senior principal for strategic advertising and marketing within the Energy and System enterprise group at Delta. “We’ve used NVIDIA simulation for our clients and ourselves, for machine instruments and semiconductors.”

“As a result of Delta has lots of factories all over the world, it’s finest to do check runs to fine-tune our {hardware} and software program earlier than implementation,” she instructed The Robotic Report. “Our options can monitor and handle warehouses and factories for max productiveness.”

As well as, Delta has developed its personal standalone simulation software program along with NVIDIA Omniverse, and it will possibly combine knowledge from each. Up to now, automation designers, producers, and customers labored with totally different instruments, however clients at the moment are optimistic about simpler collaboration, stated Ou.

“In 2012, Trade 4.0 was about digitalizing manufacturing,” she famous. “Since then, our administration and monitoring techniques have been built-in into international factories. We’re additionally working with knowledge for building and sensible buildings.”

NVIDIA companions for digital twins to handle energy

“We’re honored to be the one energy and thermal administration options supplier at NVIDIA GTC 2024, the place we are going to showcase the NVIDIA Omniverse-powered digital twin we have now developed, which underscores our superior experience in next-generation electronics manufacturing,” acknowledged Mark Ko, vice chairman of Delta Electronics. “We stay up for serving to transcend the boundaries of vitality effectivity within the AI realm utilizing the most recent applied sciences.”

Delta has deployed its energy administration know-how to main cloud answer suppliers (CSPs) and AI builders resembling Meta (mother or father of Fb), Microsoft, and Amazon Internet Companies, famous Gehle.

“Our clients have doubled their energy necessities previously six months fairly than in years,” he stated. “All of their street maps anticipate a major improve in energy demand, in order that they want administration in place for next-generation GPUs and power-hungry generative AI.”

“We used digital twins and Omniverse to design and pre-qualify our merchandise worldwide,” Gehle defined. “It’s necessary that our knowledge heart plans are aligned with these of our clients.”

At GTC, Delta introduced an built-in Open Rack Model 3 (ORV3) system for AI server infrastructure with server energy provides boasting vitality effectivity as excessive as 97.5%. It additionally included SD-WAN, Frequent Redundant Energy Provide Items (CRPS) with 54Vdc output, ORV3 18kW/33kW HPR Energy Cabinets, a Battery Backup Unit (BBU), a Mini UPS, and a liquid cooling system.

As well as, the corporate confirmed its portfolio of DC/DC converters, energy chokes, and 3D Vapor Chambers for GPU operations.

“The brand new period of AI-powered manufacturing is marked by digital twins and artificial knowledge, which may improve effectivity and productiveness earlier than precise manufacturing begins,” stated Rev Lebaredian, vice chairman of Omniverse and simulation know-how at NVIDIA, in a launch.

“By growing its digital platform on NVIDIA Omniverse, Delta can just about hyperlink particular manufacturing strains and mixture knowledge from a various vary of kit and techniques to create a digital twin of its operations,” he stated. “And with NVIDIA Isaac Sim, it will possibly generate artificial knowledge to coach its pc fashions to realize 90% accuracy.”
