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.

Introducing MetAI’s Controller Simulator: Advancing Automation with AI

At GTC 2025, MetAI will debut its Controller Simulator, an innovative technology that integrates controller logic simulation directly into digital twins. This solution allows businesses to test, refine, and visualize automation workflows—such as PLC programming—within a physically accurate, AI-powered virtual environment.

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 within applications developed on the NVIDIA Omniverse platform and NVIDIA Isaac Sim. This reduces testing time and enhances cross-team collaboration.

Key Benefits:

  • Intuitive Logic Design: A user-friendly ladder diagram UI simplifies automation logic design, reducing the learning curve for non-technical users.
  • Digital Twin Integration: Seamless integration with NVIDIA Omniverse-based digital twin simulations enables validation of PLC logic before real-world deployment.
  • AI-Powered Copilot Assistance: AI agents help generate and optimize automation logic, boosting efficiency and reducing development time.
  • Seamless PLC Deployment: Finalized logic can be deployed to physical PLCs without additional conversion steps, ensuring smooth implementation.

Attendees visiting Booth #134 will have the opportunity to experience a live demo of the Controller Simulator and explore how MetAI is bridging the physical and digital worlds for industrial automation.

Real-World Collaboration with Kenmec and Chief Logistics

MetAI is also showcasing its collaboration with Kenmec and Chief Logistics to demonstrate the impact of simulation-driven design on warehouse automation.

As part of this project, MetAI is working with Kenmec to simulate warehouse workflows—including equipment operation and smart sensor/camera placements—using an application built on NVIDIA Omniverse. This initiative helps Kenmec and Chief Logistics evaluate and optimize system designs before real-world installation, reducing costly on-site rework and enabling faster decision-making.

Aligning with NVIDIA’s “Mega” Blueprint Vision for Industrial AI

MetAI is an early adopter of “Mega”, an NVIDIA Omniverse Blueprint designed for testing multi-robot fleets at scale within industrial digital twins.

As a member of NVIDIA Inception, MetAI is collaborating closely with NVIDIA to develop new workflows that integrate NVIDIA Omniverse, Isaac Sim, and MetAI’s generative and simulation technologies. This partnership aims to establish more scalable and intelligent automation development processes, empowering industries to embrace the future of AI-driven automation.
