## Summary

Reply, an Italian IT services firm, has become one of the first partners worldwide to receive the "Physical AI Specialization" in NVIDIA’s Partner Network. The award follows a technical assessment that examined a customer implementation with Otto Group, the solution architecture, certified OpenUSD expertise and Reply’s development roadmap.

The specialization recognises Reply’s Roboverse platform, which combines robotics, digital twins, spatial computing and AI to link virtual simulation with real‑world operations. At Otto Group’s Hermes Fulfilment centre in Loehne, Germany, the platform built a high‑fidelity digital twin that underpins the company’s "Robotic Coordination Layer", allowing autonomous mobile robots from multiple vendors to be coordinated with fleet‑management and warehouse‑management systems. Using NVIDIA Omniverse and Isaac, new warehouse layouts and robot fleets can be simulated and validated before physical deployment, speeding integration and lowering operational risk.

Filippo Rizzante, CTO of Reply, said the specialization confirms the company’s ability to deliver end‑to‑end Physical AI solutions, from simulation and AI training to system integration and production rollout.
