Deep inside the electric motor, where it is too hot, too cramped, or simply impossible, ZF now measures temperature precisely. This accurate data allows significantly more power to be extracted from an electric motor, and it works entirely without additional hardware \u2013 only through AI. The result: more power, less unused reserves \u2013 and a leap in efficiency that pays off.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>With its AI-based TempAI solution, ZF is integrating a new method that takes temperature management in electric drives to a new level. By using a self-learning temperature model, TempAI improves forecast accuracy by over 15 percent, enabling significantly more precise thermal utilisation of the electric machine.<\/p>\n<p>TempAI is based on a platform that automatically generates physically based models from measurement data and makes them operational in a very short time. Existing control units are sufficient, as the AI models used require low computing resources. This leads to very cost-efficient implementation in series production. \u201cThis technology enables us to further increase the efficiency and reliability of our drives. At the same time, TempAI demonstrates how data-driven development can be not only faster, but also more sustainable and more powerful,\u201d said Dr. Stefan Sicklinger, Head of AI, Digital Engineering, and Validation in R&amp;D, ZF.<\/p>\n<p>The AI-based technology is ready for series production and available for the new generation of ZF electric motors. \u201cWe are proud to bring this innovation into series production and thus making a significant contribution to more efficient e-mobility,\u201d said Dr. Otmar Scharrer, Head of Development for Electrified Powertrain Technology. \u201dTempAI is a real technological breakthrough for the temperature management of electric drives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>More power, fewer reserves \u2013 even in the WLTP cycle<\/strong><br \/>\nMore precise temperature prediction enables more targeted control right up to the thermal operating limit. The result: up to six percent more peak power and a verifiable increase in efficiency in the WLTP cycle, the global standard for realistic driving emissions. During dynamic driving \u2013 as for example, on the N\u00fcrburgring Nordschleife \u2013 energy consumption is reduced by 6 to 18 percent, depending on the load point.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fewer rare earths, shorter development times<\/strong><br \/>\nIn addition to performance, TempAI also offers ecological and economic advantages: the optimised thermal design allows significant quantities of heavy rare earths to be saved. At the same time, the development time per project is significantly reduced: from several months to just a few days. During the development of electric drives, AI helps to understand and record processes inside the electric motor for which there is no physically reliable model for cost or time reasons. The challenge: the temperature inside a rotor can only be measured directly during operation at high cost.<\/p>\n<p>However, there is a wealth of measurement data that is systematically recorded during extensive functional tests on the test bench and later in the test vehicles. This includes temperature values from the environment, such as from the oil pan, and the rotor speeds. The various possible operating points and their temporal progression result in millions of data points. These depend on whether and when drivers call up full power or coast along at walking pace. AI algorithms are \u201ctrained\u201d to filter out precisely those dependencies that are particularly significant for temperature changes in the rotor and stator.<\/p>\n<p>Image: ZF<\/p>\n<p><u>Main Image Caption:<\/u><\/p>\n<p>ZF is launching its electric drives with the new TempAI technology this year. This uses artificial intelligence to precisely determine the temperature inside the electric motors. This allows operating strategies to be optimised during the development phase. The electric motors are then even more efficient during operation and deliver higher continuous power.<\/p>\n                <\/div>\n                                    <div class=\"button-container\">\n                                                    <a class=\"btn btn-main\" href=\"https:\/\/elan-pr.wetransfer.com\/downloads\/85dd2ac1823e3c292e14b6e71dd9b6bf20250703171430\/c62c6b?t_exp=1783098870&#038;t_lsid=6cc12cd7-314b-46db-b01b-f9681186faba&#038;t_network=link&#038;t_rid=YXV0aDB8NjE5Y2RiODVlOTZhNmMwMDcyYjZmYWJh&#038;t_s=download_link&#038;t_ts=1751562870\"\n                                target=\"_blank\">\n                                <span>Download high resolution images here<\/span>\n                            <\/a>\n                        \n                                            <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n    <section class=\"full-width-image-block img-block container cont-md custom-py\">\n        <div class=\"image-fw img-animation\" style=\"background-image: linear-gradient(0deg, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3), rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3)), url('http:\/\/talacom.vps.buzztestserver.co.uk\/elan\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/07\/vcsPRAsset_3904272_496876_daf306c0-29e8-476f-a085-9e36a61f667c_0.jpg');\">\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> [&#8230;]<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"btn btn-secondary understrap-read-more-link\" href=\"http:\/\/talacom.vps.buzztestserver.co.uk\/elan\/news-releases\/artificial-intelligence-real-efficiency-tempai-delivers-temperature-data-from-the-heart-of-the-e-motor\/\">Read More&#8230;<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> from Artificial intelligence, real efficiency: TempAI delivers temperature data from the heart of the e-motor<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1085,"template":"","categories":[6],"class_list":["post-1084","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-zf-press-releases"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.7 -
