This project brings together Stellantis\u2019 industrial expertise, Accenture\u2019s physical AI and digital manufacturing capabilities, and NVIDIA\u2019s accelerated computing and Omniverse libraries to explore the development of next-generation virtual manufacturing environments powered by real-time data and artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are laying the foundation for the next generation of manufacturing at Stellantis,\u201d&nbsp;<strong>said Francesco Ciancia, Head of Manufacturing at Stellantis.&nbsp;<\/strong>\u201cBy combining digital twins, AI and advanced simulation, we are rethinking how we design, operate and continuously improve our production systems. This initiative is designed to work hand in hand with our teams, enhancing their ability to anticipate issues, enabling faster decisions and continuous improvement. Together with Accenture and NVIDIA, we are exploring new ways to drive more scalable and intelligent operations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe opportunity in manufacturing today is to scale AI across complex industrial operations in ways that deliver measurable business value,\u201d said\u00a0<strong>Tracey Countryman, Supply Chain and Engineering Global Lead at Accenture.\u00a0<\/strong>\u201cBy partnering with Accenture and harnessing NVIDIA\u2019s compute and simulation technologies, Stellantis is positioned to accelerate manufacturing reinvention and lead the industry into a new era of intelligent, high-performance operations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Initial deployments are planned in selected plants, providing a foundation to assess value creation and scalability across the broader industrial network, starting with pilots in North America in 2026.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Together, the companies aim to explore how AI-integrated digital twins can enable closed-loop optimization, where virtual and physical manufacturing systems continuously inform and improve each other. This is supported by agentic orchestration for dynamic throughput optimization, as well as physics-informed quality and maintenance.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By integrating digital twin technologies with AI, Stellantis is advancing a new manufacturing operating model\u2014one that is more predictive and autonomous, powered by real-time data and simulation, and designed to scale knowledge seamlessly across global plants.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stellantis today announced plans for a strategic initiative with Accenture to advance the use of AI-enabled digital twin capabilities using NVIDIA technologies across its global manufacturing footprint.
