The challenge

Leadership wanted measurable results inside one quarter, with no disruption to running operations.

What we built

We owned the whole stack — hardware, firmware, models and dashboards — using FDM, Wash-out cores, Fusion 360 so there was one accountable team.

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

  • 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
  • Safety case reviewed with the client's EHS team
