In a transformative move for the industrial technology sector, HCLTech has officially announced the opening of a cutting-edge innovation lab in Santa Clara, California. Established in a strategic collaboration with NVIDIA, this new facility aims to serve as a launchpad for global enterprises looking to explore, incubate, and scale advanced applications in Physical AI and cognitive robotics. By establishing this hub, the partners intend to bridge the widening gap between theoretical digital simulations and functional, real-world industrial operations.
This dedicated facility integrates seamlessly with HCLTech’s existing global AI Lab network, creating a robust ecosystem for development. Consequently, it combines the immense processing power of the NVIDIA technology stack—including core platforms such as NVIDIA Omniverse, Metropolis, Isaac Sim, Jetson, and Holoscan—with HCLTech’s expanding portfolio of proprietary AI Solutions. Specifically, HCLTech will bring its customized assets like VisionX, Kinetic AI, IEdgeX, and SmartTwin to the table. This powerful technological convergence allows G2000 organizations to experiment with and refine Physical AI initiatives, ultimately driving increased competitiveness in a rapidly evolving market.
Regarding the challenges facing the industry, Deepu Talla, VP of Robotics and Edge AI at NVIDIA, highlighted the necessity of this venture:
"Generative physical AI is set to revolutionize industrial automation, but bridging the gap from digital simulation to real-world deployment remains a critical challenge. HCLTech's innovation lab will help enterprises develop, test and validate the complex autonomous systems needed to turn AI ambitions into operational reality.”
Furthermore, this initiative represents a significant leap forward in Digital Transformation for manufacturing and logistics sectors. By merging HCLTech’s engineering heritage with NVIDIA's AI Innovation, the lab empowers companies to reimagine their physical operations entirely. The focus extends beyond simple automation; it encompasses the creation of safer, more resilient, and operationally intelligent environments.
Vijay Guntur, CTO and Head of Ecosystems at HCLTech, emphasized the strategic nature of this alliance:
“By combining HCLTech’s global AI Engineering capabilities with NVIDIA’s cutting-edge platforms, this new collaboration marks a pivotal step in strengthening our synergy in the Physical AI space. It empowers enterprises to reimagine physical operations, driving breakthroughs in robotics, automation, safety and operational intelligence, reinforcing our commitment to scaling AI-led transformation across industries and further deepening our strategic collaboration with NVIDIA.”
Ultimately, HCLTech’s approach to Physical AI synthesizes robotics, autonomous systems, and intelligent edge Software with sophisticated digital twins. As enterprises seek to boost productivity and sustainability, this Santa Clara facility stands ready to convert complex Generative AI concepts into tangible, real-world results.
