Ola Electric Unveils Digital Twin Platform Integrated with NVIDIA Omniverse

Electric two-wheeler manufacturer Ola has taken a huge step in the realm of innovation with the launch of its Digital Twin platform, powered by NVIDIA Omniverse. This platform creates a detailed digital replica of the company’s manufacturing environment by integrating Krutrim AI, NVIDIA technologies, and the Internet of Things, among other capabilities. This results in improved equipment setup, faster product development, and AI-based quality inspection, as well as better planning and optimization of its manufacturing facilities. Read on for more details.

Ola Digital Twin Platform: Other Highlights

The Digital Twin Platform employs generative AI and realistic simulations for motion and the creation of synthetic image data to train autonomous robots deployed in manufacturing. Its integration with Nvidia Omniverse has led Ola Electric to reduce the time from design to commissioning at its Futurefactory by more than 20%.

Ola claims that the recently announced platform improves accuracy and efficiency in robotic welding lines and allows the virtual testing of new processes before they are implemented. It further adds that 'Developers use Ola Digital Twin’s generative AI capabilities and NVIDIA Omniverse APIs to generate synthetic assets, including lighting, environmental scenes, objects and defects, which help accelerate perception AI model training from months to weeks.'

The platform also has thermal simulation features for developing liquid-cooling infrastructure and modern OLA Krutrim data centres. Robotic systems may be trained virtually thanks to the interface with NVIDIA Isaac Sim, especially for automated dark store pick-and-place applications.

Other Major Developments

Ola announced an array of upgrades and launches, including MoveOS 5 and the Roadster series, at its Sankalp 2024 event in August. The MoveOS 5 is packed with several new features like group navigation, road trip mode with Ola Maps, and live location sharing. It will be available in beta to its users by this Diwali through an OTA (over-the-air) update.

Based on the Gen 3 platform, the Roadster series comes in three variants: Roaster X, the Roadster, and the Roadster Pro. The top-of-the-line 16kWh Roadster Pro model costs Rs 2.50 lakh, while the 2.5kWh Roadster X variant starts at Rs 75,000. All prices are ex-showroom. Additionally, the company unveiled its lithium batteries, called "Bharat Cells," which will be used in its EVs by the first quarter of FY26.
