ABB has announced an expanded phase of its collaboration with NVIDIA aimed at accelerating the development of AI infrastructure. The company will integrate its power technologies as SimReady™ 3D digital assets within the NVIDIA Omniverse DSX Blueprint.
The integration covers key equipment such as medium-voltage switchgear, electrical distribution systems and UPS platforms. These digital twins are designed for DSX co-design workflows, allowing data centre operators to model and optimise power distribution from source to rack before construction begins.
According to ABB, the use of SimReady digital assets enables engineers to validate electrical, thermal and computing systems together in a shared digital environment. This approach is expected to reduce design cycles and support the use of prefabricated, ready-to-install modules for faster deployment of AI facilities.
Jorge Lis, Global Data Centre Segment Leader at ABB Electrification, said the collaboration reflects the growing demands of AI infrastructure. He highlighted that integrating DSX tools provides a faster path from design to deployment, supported by ABB’s manufacturing scale and engineering expertise.
The latest agreement builds on a previous collaboration announced in October 2025 focused on developing 800 VDC power architecture for next-generation AI data centres. The expanded work aligns ABB’s portfolio with NVIDIA’s DSX and Omniverse ecosystem, where equipment performance can be tested against high-density AI workloads.
ABB said future AI facilities will require advanced power and cooling systems, including medium-voltage distribution, DC power and solid-state protection, integrated from the earliest design stages.
The collaboration is intended to help data centre developers move more efficiently from digital modelling to real-world construction while improving scalability, consistency and performance of AI infrastructure.
