The challenge
Data existed but lived in spreadsheets and legacy systems, so decisions were made on instinct rather than evidence.
What we built
A phased rollout: a measured pilot first, then scale-out. The core runs on CesiumJS with 3D Tiles, integrated into existing systems through GDAL.
Delivery timeline
Phase 1
Discovery sprint and site survey
Phase 2
Prototype built and tested in the Motera lab
Phase 3
Pilot on site with before/after measurement
Phase 4
Scale-out, training and handover
Highlights
- Operator training delivered in Gujarati, Hindi and English
- Integrated with existing PLC, ERP or GIS systems — no rip-and-replace
- Remote monitoring and over-the-air updates included
- Safety case reviewed with the client's EHS team
