Schneider Electric and NVIDIA enable AI-ready infrastructure via Omniverse
Schneider Electric is partnering with NVIDIA on the NVIDIA Omniverse DSX Blueprint and related reference designs at the AI Factory Research Center in Virginia, while planning more than $700 million of U.S. investments through 2027.
Main announcement/action: Schneider Electric will collaborate on the NVIDIA Omniverse DSX Blueprint and develop AI-ready infrastructure reference designs and digital twins at the AI Factory Research Center (Virginia); the company has announced planned investments of more than $700 million in U.S. operations through 2027 to support manufacturing expansions, workforce development, and strengthened energy/data center infrastructure. The partnership includes two published reference designs: one for integrated power management and liquid cooling control systems (interoperable with NVIDIA Mission Control and compatible with NVIDIA Grace Blackwell systems) and a second design for AI factories up to 142 kW per rack targeting the NVIDIA GB300 NVL72 rack, with configurations for ANSI and IEC standards.
Background and implementation details: Schneider Electric and ETAP are developing Omniverse-based digital twins using a “Grid to Chip“ approach to model mechanical, thermal, networking and electrical systems down to chip-level dynamic load behavior to improve power-system design and energy efficiency; the reference designs include facility power, facility cooling, IT space, and lifecycle software guidance. For stakeholder engagement: Innovation Summit North America — November 2025 (see event page) — agenda includes demonstrations and discussions on shaping AI-ready infrastructure and Omniverse digital twin applications.
