## Summary

Ganesh Sivaraman, Director of Products for Omniverse Digital Twins at NVIDIA, explains how the NVIDIA Omniverse platform enables the 'industrial metaverse' by creating digital twins of physical factories and warehouses. He discusses why 70% of IoT edge initiatives fail due to fragmented, multi-vendor landscapes and high-frequency data challenges at the edge. Sivaraman details how NVIDIA uses edge devices and USD (Universal Scene Description) to aggregate this data, allowing for simulation and continuous monitoring within a unified virtual environment.
