Taiwanese power management firm Delta unveiled at this month’s Nvidia GTC in California a range of AI-based digital-twin applications for building automation and smart manufacturing.

These applications underscore the benefits and possibilities ushered by AI digital twins and their underlying high-fidelity, real-time simulation and predictive analysis capabilities.

In a building automation application, physics-based synchronisation of HVAC, lighting and natural shading simulations powered by Nvidia Omniverse enabled an improvement of up to 20% in building energy savings potential. In smart manufacturing, Omniverse helps Delta’s AI server power supply production achieve cyber-physical integrated production that facilitates decentralised manufacturing and centralised management, accelerating the transition towards an autonomous factory.

“Enterprises face increasing pressure to strengthen operational resilience, reduce time to deployment and improve energy efficiency,” said Austin Tseng, president of Delta Electronics in the Americas. “Real-time system behaviour simulations, cross-lifecycle data intelligence and the ability to model complex what-if scenarios even before production ramps up are key advantages we’re experiencing with the Delta AI-driven digital twin platforms enhanced by Nvidia Omniverse.”

Built on Omniverse, Delta has deployed AI digital twins that merge physical real-time lighting, sunlight heat conditions, HVAC operations, environmental sensors and building automation controls with photorealistic simulations. In addition, Nvidia (www.nvidia.com) accelerated computing supports the high-performance computing needs of the building’s edge AI devices, such as reinforcement learning agents for HVAC chillers and pumps, as well as graphic neural networks agents for VAV (variable air volume) airflow and temperature control.

As a result, users of Delta’s smart building technology can optimise energy performance and system efficiency before breaking ground, simulate sustainability strategies and long‑term operating cost scenarios, support autonomous building functions and predictive maintenance workflows, and reduce change orders, commissioning timelines and lifecycle uncertainty.

This Omniverse-based AI digital twin produced real-time dynamic simulations and predictive analytics for Delta’s Taipei HQ’s building operations. By simulating the interplay of sunlight, shading, as well as lighting and HVAC systems, it unlocks up to 20% in energy-savings potential while optimising occupant comfort.

With experience in large-scale smart building projects, Delta is ready to help users implement Omniverse-based digital twin platforms and co-developing management tools tailored to operational needs.

Delta has implemented Omniverse and accelerated AI technologies to shorten the time required to build, validate and scale smart manufacturing. This has been carried out in Delta’s Thailand plant for AI server power supply production, covering from product parts assembly simulation and production line design to process validation.
