The challenge
Existing vendors had delivered pieces of a reverse engineering 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 Artec-class scanning, Geomagic-class, SolidWorks so there was one accountable team.
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
- Safety case reviewed with the client's EHS team
- Remote monitoring and over-the-air updates included
- Operator training delivered in Gujarati, Hindi and English
- Runs on-premises; no data leaves the site unless agreed
