The challenge
Data existed but lived in spreadsheets and legacy systems, so decisions were made on instinct rather than evidence.
What we built
Built in our Motera lab, validated on a replica rig, then commissioned on site in days using FDM and Fusion 360.
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
- Integrated with existing PLC, ERP or GIS systems — no rip-and-replace
- Runs on-premises; no data leaves the site unless agreed
- Remote monitoring and over-the-air updates included
- Safety case reviewed with the client's EHS team
