The story
A manufacturing AI company focused on high-mix, low-volume production environments where frequent part changes make traditional automation prohibitive.
Reprogramming industrial robots for new parts typically requires weeks of expert engineering and calibration. This extensive setup time creates a cost barrier for facilities with frequent changeovers, leaving 90% of manufacturing tasks reliant on manual labor.
The company developed a tablet-based platform using NVIDIA Isaac Sim to generate synthetic training data from digital twins, allowing operators to configure robots without coding. The system runs locally on RTX GPUs to fine-tune FoundationPose and segmentation models using data generated on demand. A human-in-the-loop interface lets staff identify missed items on screen, instantly updating the models for accurate deployment.
