The challenge

Existing vendors had delivered pieces of a condition monitoring network 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 LoRaWAN with ESP32, integrated into existing systems through Grafana.

Delivery timeline

  1. Phase 1

    Discovery sprint and site survey

  2. Phase 2

    Prototype built and tested in the Motera lab

  3. Phase 3

    Pilot on site with before/after measurement

  4. Phase 4

    Scale-out, training and handover

Highlights

  • Integrated with existing PLC, ERP or GIS systems — no rip-and-replace
  • 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
