Delta demonstrates seamless cyber-physical integration in an interactive Smart Manufacturing Demo Line

21 March 2025

Delta, a developer of power management and internet of things (IoT)-based smart green solutions, is ushering in a new era of smart manufacturing at NVIDIA GTC 2025 by showcasing its superior cyber-physical integration capabilities and its close collaboration with NVIDIA through an artificial intelligence (AI)-based Smart Manufacturing Demo Line. The demonstration illustrates high-fidelity cyber-physical integration for essential processes in next-generation smart factories.

Andy Liu, General manager of Delta’s Industrial Automation Business Group, said, “At Delta, we have worked with NVIDIA to accelerate the development of smart manufacturing through seamless cyber-physical integration and advanced digital twin technology. By leveraging NVIDIA Omniverse™, our interactive automated PC board assembly demo line shows how manufacturers can enhance flexibility, efficiency, and intelligence in their production lines. With Delta’s hardware and software industrial automation solutions, we are empowering businesses to embrace autonomous and data-driven manufacturing.”

The AI-based Smart Manufacturing Demo Line features Delta’s Collaborative Robot D-Bot Series, Omni Inserter and Integra Modular Glue Dispensing machine, combined with Delta’s proprietary Line Manager platform and DIATwin digital twin system. By integrating NVIDIA Omniverse simulation development platform, the demo presents five key high-fidelity cyber-physical integration scenarios: virtual new product introduction, automated recipe generation, automated line changeover and parameter adjustment, automatic collision avoidance and synchronized cyber-physical operations.

Key exhibits in Delta’s AI-based Smart Manufacturing Demo Line:

-IIoT-based Line Manager Platform:
Delta’s Line Manager is a comprehensive industrial IoT (IIoT)-based solution that enables equipment remote control, autonomous production and data analytics, helping factories embrace distributed manufacturing and centralized management. Upon product recipe uploading, manufacturers can seamlessly switch between different processes while optimizing parameters like route and speed to achieve automated mixed-model production.

-DIATwin Virtual Machine Development Platform:
DIATwin is a smart design tool for machine makers, delivering advanced machine-level and line-level digital twin solutions, which integrates machine prototyping, process simulation, virtual commissioning and parameter optimization into one robust platform. With DIATwin, machine makers can accelerate time-to-market, cut down on machine downtime to optimize efficiency.

-Collaborative Robot D-Bot Series:
Delta’s D-Bot Series supports high payloads up to 30 kg, featuring IP66 rating and easy setup in less than one hour. It is integrated with NVIDIA Omniverse and Isaac Sim to bring enhanced simulation capabilities, which allow users to create high-fidelity digital twins, enabling virtual testing and optimization of robot functions before deployment. The result is faster, more efficient design and operation, improving performance across various applications.

- Omni Inserter:
With a linear motor positioning system, the Omni Inserter delivers accurate, high-speed insertion of odd-form components, supporting a wide range of feeder types. It also comes with a host of smart AI-based features to boost insertion quality, such as applying best-fit algorithm to increase insertion success rate to greater than 99.5%, and utilizing AI+AOI vision algorithm to enhance image and improve pin positioning, reducing reject rate to less than 1%.

-Integra Modular Glue Dispensing Machine:
Delta’s advanced Integra Modular Glue Dispensing Machine enhances production efficiency with DIATwin, which simulates scenarios for development evaluation. Boasting a modular design, it enables fast and flexible production line changeovers. With one-click auto-calibration and diverse valves for various glue dispensing applications, Integra ensures precision, adaptability and seamless automation.

With a deep-rooted commitment to innovation, Delta continues to push the boundaries of smart manufacturing by integrating automation, AI and digital twin technologies. Join us at NVIDIA GTC 2025 at booth #1023 or in our sessions, to witness how our innovations are shaping the future of smart manufacturing. The new power, cooling and infrastructure solutions to enhance the performance and energy conservation of AI data centers will also be an integral part of the showcase.
