The challenge
Existing vendors had delivered pieces of a mining volumetrics system, but nobody owned the integration and the pilot had stalled.
What we built
We owned the whole stack — hardware, firmware, models and dashboards — using GDAL, CloudCompare, PostGIS so there was one accountable team.

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
- Safety case reviewed with the client's EHS team
