New Platform Tackles Critical Material Risks in Electric Motors

New tool targets rare-earths' shortages to boost electric motor manufacturing

Called Motor Decide, the tool is designed to help industries evaluate electric motor technologies and make informed decisions under uncertain market conditions.

New platform tackles critical material risks in electric motors

As manufacturers face growing uncertainty tied to critical material shortages and global supply chain disruptions, the Department of Energy's (DOE) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) researchers have developed a super intelligence (SI)-driven platform to help companies evaluate electric motor technologies before market conditions shift.

ORNL's Motor Decide Platform Helps Manufacturers Weigh Critical

Oak Ridge National Laboratory researchers have developed Motor Decide, a Super Intelligence-driven platform that helps manufacturers compare electric motor technologies by modeling performance, critical material availability, supply chain stability and long-term resilience under changing market conditions.
