The challenge
Existing vendors had delivered pieces of a plant digital twin system, but nobody owned the integration and the pilot had stalled.
What we built
A phased rollout: a measured pilot first, then scale-out. The core runs on Three.js with Potree, integrated into existing systems through glTF.
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
- Designed, built and supported from Motera, Ahmedabad
- Runs on-premises; no data leaves the site unless agreed
- Operator training delivered in Gujarati, Hindi and English
- Integrated with existing PLC, ERP or GIS systems — no rip-and-replace
