Finland Launches FactoryLens Factory Digital Twin Tool

en.Wedoany.com Reported - On September 28, Finland-based Visual Components released FactoryLens, an industrial digital twin tool, and integrated it into the latest Visual Components 5.1.1 platform. FactoryLens is developed based on the NVIDIA Omniverse library and can directly convert users' existing factory layouts and production line simulation models into high-fidelity digital twin environments, completing real-time rendering, material adjustment, lighting display, and image and video output within the same software.

FactoryLens continues to use Visual Components' original simulation models as the engineering foundation and adds NVIDIA RTX high-fidelity rendering capabilities on top of them. The platform's underlying physical behavior is supported by NVIDIA PhysX, enabling physical simulation of objects such as factory equipment, robots, conveyor lines, and mobile logistics equipment. Visual Components' existing component library contains more than 4,000 items, covering industrial robots, machine tools, conveying equipment, AMRs, forklifts, and other production equipment.

The platform supports OpenUSD format output, allowing factory configurations to be exported to NVIDIA Omniverse, Blender, and other external environments compatible with USD. FactoryLens also supports real-time switching between standard engineering views and high-fidelity rendering views. After users modify existing layouts, the FactoryLens view can update synchronously, for use in solution reviews, customer presentations, and engineering delivery.

Visual Components 5.1.1 has released FactoryLens as a new feature. Current functions include high-fidelity rendering views, video recording, image export, and USD export. According to the officially released version notes, dynamic geometry updates are not currently supported, layout loading time is related to the number of model triangles, and an internet connection is required during installation.

Visual Components also plans to continue expanding digital twin and physical AI applications around FactoryLens, including vision-based virtual commissioning, synthetic data generation, and model training, policy training, and large-scale validation for robotics and automation systems. FactoryLens will also subsequently expand data exchange, collaboration, version management, and multi-user workflows around the OpenUSD ecosystem.
