Home-improvement retailer Lowe’s Cos. said it’s created immersive, interactive three-dimensional models of two of its U.S. stores to achieve better visibility into inventory data and store layouts. The company is currently piloting the digital twins in its Mill Creek, Wash., and central Charlotte, N.C., locations. Lowe’s is leveraging Nvidia Inc.’s Nvidia Omniverse, a real-time graphics collaboration platform, to create these digital twins and iterate on them. So far, these digital twins have been primarily used in manufacturing and factory scenarios, they say. Lowe’s says it has no clear timeline for when it might extend the digital twin technology beyond Mill Creek and Charlotte.
