The challenge
Conditions on site — heat, dust, vibration and patchy connectivity — had defeated two earlier attempts at this in defence.
What we built
We owned the whole stack — hardware, firmware, models and dashboards — using nTop, DMLS, MJF 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
- Integrated with existing PLC, ERP or GIS systems — no rip-and-replace
- Safety case reviewed with the client's EHS team
- Remote monitoring and over-the-air updates included
- Runs on-premises; no data leaves the site unless agreed
