## Summary

Jacobs has been selected by NVIDIA to deploy its Data Center Digital Twin at a large-scale AI research and development facility in the United States. The three-year software-as-a-service agreement covers one of NVIDIA's most advanced AI R&D sites. Built on NVIDIA Omniverse libraries, the platform integrates engineering models, operational technology, and live facility data into a single operational environment.

The digital twin will support power balancing, energy forecasting, liquid coolant leak detection, predictive maintenance, and operator training. Teams can model changing AI workloads to understand power availability and cooling performance. Jacobs says it is evolving the digital twin into an intelligent operating system for AI factories where AI agents continuously learn from facility data to predict conditions and optimize operations with increasing autonomy. The award builds on previous collaboration between Jacobs and NVIDIA on digital twin technology for AI infrastructure.

## Key points

- Jacobs wins three-year SaaS deal to deploy Data Center Digital Twin at NVIDIA US AI R&D facility
- Platform built on NVIDIA Omniverse supports power balancing, leak detection, predictive maintenance
- Jacobs aims to evolve digital twin into autonomous AI factory operating system with AI agents

## Why it matters

Digital twins for AI factories address critical power and cooling challenges as compute density increases, enabling predictive operations at scale.
