MetAI Technology Co., Ltd., a pioneering Taiwanese startup redefining industrial automation through AI-powered digital twins, announced today it will unveil its latest innovation—the Controller Simulator—at NVIDIA GTC 2025. With a mission to bridge the gap between operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT), MetAI continues to develop cutting-edge tools that accelerate physical AI and simulation-driven industrial design.

MetAI’s Controller Simulator, to be showcased at Booth #134 in the GTC Industrial & Physical AI Pavilion, introduces a transformative way to simulate and validate automation logic—such as PLC code—inside a realistic, AI-enhanced virtual environment powered by NVIDIA Omniverse and Isaac Sim.

Smarter Automation Through Simulation

The Controller Simulator enables engineers and automation teams to collaboratively design, test, and optimize industrial automation workflows using intuitive ladder logic diagrams and AI copilot tools. By tightly integrating with Omniverse-based digital twins, users can now validate logic against physically accurate simulations before real-world deployment—reducing testing cycles, lowering cost, and enhancing cross-functional collaboration.

Key Features and Benefits:

• Ladder Diagram Interface: Lowers the barrier for non-technical users to design logic visually.

• AI Copilot: Helps generate, troubleshoot, and optimize automation logic in real time.

• Seamless PLC Integration: Finalized logic is directly deployable to physical PLCs, eliminating post-simulation conversion.

• Enhanced Collaboration: Unites IT and OT teams in a single simulation workflow.

“We believe AI and simulation are the key to unlocking the next era of industrial automation,” said Dr. Jason Hsu, CEO of MetAI. “With our Controller Simulator, we’re enabling engineers to design and test smarter, faster, and more collaboratively than ever before.”

Real-World Collaboration: Warehouse Automation in Focus

MetAI will also highlight its collaboration with Kenmec and Chief Logistics, where it is using NVIDIA Omniverse to simulate warehouse equipment, sensor placement, and operational workflows. The goal is to reduce costly field rework and accelerate deployment timelines for smart warehouse systems.

This joint effort serves as a real-world validation of simulation-first design thinking and its role in streamlining automation projects from concept to implementation.

Advancing NVIDIA’s “Mega” Blueprint Vision

As a member of the NVIDIA Inception program, MetAI is aligning closely with NVIDIA’s “Mega” Omniverse Blueprint—a scalable framework for training and testing multi-robot systems in industrial digital twins. MetAI’s early adoption and custom integration of Mega workflows underscore its position as a key innovator in the industrial AI space.
