Nestlé Bets Big on Digital Twins to Accelerate Production

Nestlé has rolled out an in-house AI engine built to churn out high-quality product visuals at scale—and speed. Powered by NVIDIA’s Omniverse and built with OpenUSD, the system creates photorealistic 3D digital twins of everything from Nescafé jars to Purina bags. These aren’t just pretty models—they’re editable assets that get reused across a spectrum of content formats, cutting the need for endless reshoots. Nestlé already has 4,000 of these digital doppelgängers in play and aims to hit 10,000 within two years.

The technology is designed to serve Nestlé’s global marketing machine, from 45 content studios to a 250-strong marketing team deployed worldwide. The goal? Reuse, remix, and localize product visuals across markets and platforms—whether it’s an Instagram ad, an Amazon listing, or maybe even a virtual shelf in a gaming world. Nestlé says the system is already cutting production costs and timelines by more than 70%, allowing teams to better respond to market-specific packaging needs and platform quirks in record time.

What’s fueling the urgency? Digital media now eats up 72% of Nestlé’s ad dollars, and online channels account for nearly 20% of its global sales—a figure that’s doubled over the last five years. Partnering with Accenture Song, Nestlé’s move into digital-twin-driven content isn’t just a tech flex—it’s a strategic shift toward adaptive marketing at scale, as the brand moves from linear campaigns to modular, multi-format storytelling.
