Thank you to Carson Bradbury at Siemens Cre8Ventures for this write-up on why Monumo has joined the Siemens Digital Twin Marketplace ecosystem, and where the opportunity is. We will explore how Monumo’s capabilities can complement the broader Siemens industrial and digital engineering ecosystem, creating new opportunities across industrial automation, robotics, mobility and electrification, solving critical engineering challenges:  - Industrial manufacturers are under pressure to cut costs, improve energy efficiency, and develop products faster. Electric motors and drives sit at the centre of that, powering machinery, robots, manufacturing equipment and electric transport.  - Motors, inverters, mechanical and thermal systems are usually engineered one component at a time, which forces trade-offs. As Carson writes, “Optimising one component does not necessarily produce the best overall system.”  - Manufacturability is critical - a technically superior design has limited value if it can’t be built economically on existing production lines. We look forward to working with Cre8Ventures and the wider Siemans ecosystem to build the next generation of industrial optimisation.  Read more about our work by clicking on the link in the comments.     #Siemans #EngineeringAI #Industrialmanufacturing

Crack the Cost Challenge 2026 winners - Jarek Rzepecki, Michael Horne, Tom Gillam representing the wider Monumo team! ABB asked for a way to test thousands of design combinations in minutes, and find the best balance of cost, efficiency and manufacturability, working within their existing design flow. Next, we'll co-develop and deliver an MVP with the ABB team and showcase our technology in the real world.   A big thank you to the ABB engineers who worked with us through the sprint, to the judges and co-competitors!  #ABBStartupChallenge #CrackTheCostChallenge #EngineeringAI #PhysicalAI #ElectricMotors

Monumo has won Track 2 of the ABB Motors and Drives North America Crack the Cost Challenge 2026! The win follows a 10-day sprint in September with ABB engineers to scope a proof of concept and a pitch to judges from ABB Motors and Drives North America, Google, and SynerLeap in Fort Smith, Arkansas. Our technology is perfect for the challenge ABB set: • Every improvement in electric motor design comes at a cost elsewhere, e.g., more copper cuts losses but adds cost. • Most design tools evaluate these factors, but mostly one at a time, so the best overall design isn’t obvious • The track asked for a solution that could test millions of design combinations to find the best balance of cost, efficiency and manufacturability, working with ABB's existing design tools We look forward to the next steps working with the ABB Motors and Drives North America team to co-develop and deliver our MVP. Congratulations too to our track co-finalists from Empower Operations and Secondmind and the track one finalists CVector, Muir AI and True ValueHub, Inc. It was great to see how different teams approach similar challenges. #ABBStartupChallenge #CrackTheCostChallenge #EngineeringAI #PhysicalAI #ElectricMotors
