Breakthrough Solution for Industry: A Digital Twin of Production Lines with AI and Integrated Camera Systems

The teams of the RICAIP Testbed Prague at CIIRC CTU, together with the Brandýs nad Labem plant of Continental Automotive – transformed in September 2025 into the new global technology company AUMOVIO – have developed a unique system for creating a digital twin of a production line. For the first time, it enables a fully accurate simulation of the production environment and of camera systems functioning in connection with control logic and artificial intelligence. The solution uses the NVIDIA Omniverse platform and delivers a breakthrough in virtual commissioning, shortening the ramp-up phase of new production, increasing its reliability, and paving the way for full digital integration of manufacturing technologies. This innovation builds on RICAIP’s long-term focus on digital twins and advanced simulation tools.
