AI OEM Motor Selection and Sizing Agent for Electric Motor Manufacturers

How Cassidy automates using AI

Step 1: Capture application requirements

The Workflow triggers when an engineer submits machine requirements—motion profile, duty cycle, environmental constraints, supply voltage, and compliance needs—via form, spreadsheet upload, or integrated request from your CPQ system.

Step 2: Normalize and pre-filter the catalog

Cassidy standardizes inputs to SI units, harmonizes vendor datasheet parameters, and applies boundary filters for power range, motor topology, efficiency class, IP rating, certifications, and mechanical mounting to narrow the candidate pool.

Step 3: Run sizing calculations

The Agent executes core sizing logic: torque-speed mapping, RMS and peak analysis, thermal modeling with ambient and altitude derating, reflected inertia and mismatch ratio checks, and voltage-frequency constraints—flagging any margin violations.

Step 4: Pair drives and accessories

Cassidy selects compatible VFDs or servo drives based on current, voltage, and overload coordination, then adds gearboxes, encoders, holding brakes, cables, filters, and line-side accessories using a compatibility graph that enforces EMC and safety requirements.

Step 5: Generate cross-vendor alternates

The Workflow compares normalized specs across your approved vendor list, surfaces functionally equivalent alternates with lead-time and cost trade-offs, and ranks options by efficiency class and availability.

Step 6: Output BOM and documentation package

Cassidy compiles a complete, exportable BOM with manufacturer part numbers, option codes, and accessory line items, plus sizing reports with torque-speed overlays, thermal plots, STEP/2D drawings, parameter files, and compliance declarations—ready for quote handoff or ERP integration.
