💸 Are there hidden costs lurking in your EV motor design? According to McKinsey, up to 80% of BOM costs are locked in during the design phase – long before your motor ever reaches the production line. That means cost-cutting on the factory floor is often too late. Tooling tweaks and supplier negotiations can only do so much when the design itself has inefficiencies... At Monumo we see it often – teams chasing savings in materials or assembly when the real opportunity lies in design intelligence. When engineers explore system-level trade-offs early, it’s possible to: - Significantly reduce the overall system BOM cost - Make architectural trades that prioritise system-level efficiency - Minimise the impact on retooling You don’t have to rebuild your line to grow your margins.
 But you might need to rethink where value is created – and lost – in the process. Where do you find the biggest "hidden” costs in your design process? And what’s stopping your teams from tackling cost at the design stage rather than in production? #EVPowertrain #ElectricMotorDesign #ReducingBOMCosts #BoostingOEMMargin

🤖 The AI hype cycle: where should investors really be looking in an AI world? As valuations wobble and “generative AI fatigue” sets in, some investors are asking "what’s next?" Martin Frost, Chairman of Monumo, argues that the real opportunity isn’t in generative or clerical AI – the real value lies in Industrial AI. Applying AI and machine learning to engineering where precision matters, and results deliver measurable and lasting ROI. So, are we nearing the peak of the AI bubble? Who will see real return on investment once the hype dies away? And is Industrial AI being undervalued simply because it’s quieter? Full blog in the comments. 👇 #IndustrialAI #AIEngineering #AIBubble
