…supply chain tech, thanks mainly to availability and reduced infrastructure demands. Cloud services also give companies a lot of processing power on-the-go. The next step in this evolution is likely to be the adoption of robotics and automation tools, as well as predictive analytics. Robotic process automation (RPA) is a prime target for an initial investment. This is where you show a bot how to complete a task, and then it follows the exact same steps each subsequent time it is needed. You can turn a manual, intense, time-consuming task into something that happens at lightning speed. Plus, there is…

…System 360 to a $1 trillion global data center infrastructure. From graphics processing units (GPUs) accelerating computers past CPU capabilities to large language models and ChatGPT, Huang said technology and industry are at a positive “tipping point.” Omniverse hosts simulations in real time “With generative AI, you could tell a robot what you want, and it could generate animations,” Huang claimed. He showed videos that took into account real-world physics and lighting and ran in simulation without any pre-programming. NVIDIA Omniverse connects computer-aided design (CAD) software, APIs, and frameworks for generative AI running on Microsoft's Azure cloud using real-time factory…
