Jota has partnered with Monolith AI to accelerate its design and engineering processes. Monolith’s AI-powered technology will be used to support Jota’s dynamic data modeling to optimize and validate track test-and-simulation data, empowering engineering teams to make better design decisions.
The technology will be “an integral part of Jota’s design-decision and track-testing capabilities, bringing new insight to an already distinguished engineering team”, Monolith said.
Monolith’s AI platform enables engineers to better map and model challenging areas of car design. JOTA is using Monolith AI in every area of engineering, from car setup, vehicle dynamics, aerodynamics and tires. Monolith’s AI technology enables innovation in these key areas with dynamic models and predictive technology providing feedback on how driver performance and environmental factors impact car performance over time, including feedback on optimization, Monolith says.
The data-prediction capabilities can reduce the number of simulations needed to assess the full aerodynamic performance of a car, subsequently reducing the number of tests, which are limited by industry regulations.
Monolith says automotive engineers have reported a 70% reduction in track-testing time, plus a 45% reduction in overall associated costs after incorporating its technology within real-time testing.
Dr Richard Ahlfeld, CEO and founder of Monolith AI, said, “We are really excited to announce our partnership with JOTA, who have always been willing to push the boundaries of technology within the racing world. We look forward to working with their renowned engineering team, helping them to continue to make their incredible machines faster, more efficient and more agile.”
Tomoki Takahashi, technical director at JOTA, added, “Monolith has already radically changed how we operate within the engineering team here at JOTA. Their technology empowers our engineers to make faster, better design decisions and streamlines how our car and simulation data is validated. We are leaders in global endurance racing and as the complexity of vehicle testing continues to increase, we’re confident Monolith’s AI-powered technology will support us as we continue to stay one step ahead of the competition.”
