Duality AI, a pioneering company in digital twin simulation, has unveiled a groundbreaking update to its Falcon platform. The release of FalconEditor marks a significant milestone in the field of digital twin technology, offering an intuitive visual tool for creating and simulating digital twins. This innovative platform is built on Epic Games' Unreal Engine, renowned for its real-time 3D capabilities across various industries.
The Falcon platform's comprehensive twins-to-data simulation workflow, combined with its extension of Unreal Editor and open-source digital twin definition format, opens up new possibilities for enterprise customers. It provides access to the entire Unreal Engine ecosystem without the constraints of specific hardware or proprietary AI models. This flexibility is crucial for businesses looking to leverage digital twin technology in their operations.
Digital twin simulation has emerged as a powerful tool for addressing complex challenges in AI, robotics, and smart system development. It brings a deeper understanding of the physical world to AI models, ensures safe operation of robots, and enhances predictability in planning for high-stakes AI and automation deployments. However, traditional industrial simulation tools often fall short in meeting the unique requirements of AI synthetic data creation and autonomy. FalconEditor bridges this gap by providing an integrated development environment that makes high-fidelity, photoreal data generation from digital twin simulation more accessible to engineers and data scientists.
The development of FalconEditor is the result of a strategic OEM agreement between Duality AI and Epic Games. This collaboration positions Duality as a leading simulation solutions provider within the Unreal Engine ecosystem. The FalconPro product license includes access to Unreal Editor and dedicated support from Duality's customer success team, demonstrating Epic Games' commitment to expanding Unreal Engine's applications in enterprise settings.
Duality has enhanced Unreal Editor with digital twin functionality and seamlessly integrated it with FalconSim, their high-performance digital twin simulator. The platform also integrates with FalconCloud, Duality's digital twin and scenario catalog and cloud simulation environment. This integration allows users to leverage millions of assets from the Unreal Engine ecosystem, easily converting them into simulation-ready digital twins with customizable parameters and additional data.
FalconEditor's visual interface simplifies the process of arranging and manipulating digital twins, enabling users to configure diverse simulation scenarios effortlessly. The platform includes a library of virtual sensors for immediate data generation. Users can test and troubleshoot their scenarios, including editing Python code for digital twin behaviors, directly within FalconEditor's IDE before sharing them via FalconCloud. These scenarios can then be executed flexibly using FalconSim in the cloud, within enterprise pipelines, or on local computers.
The release of FalconEditor builds upon Duality's customer-focused approach, which has garnered industry recognition and positive customer feedback. The platform's ability to simulate high-fidelity scenarios allows for faster validation and demonstration of real-world workflows, accelerating testing and development cycles. It enables the production of synthetic sensor data, reducing the need for costly field experiments and facilitating coverage of edge cases, ultimately leading to faster product development and deployment.
