The challenge

The precision engineering team was relying on manual effort that could not keep up with volume, and every miss had a direct cost.

What we built

We ran a two-week discovery sprint, then built and fielded the system end to end on ROS 2, MoveIt 2 and OpenCV, with operator training and an SLA.

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

  • Before-and-after measurements agreed with the client up front
  • Operator training delivered in Gujarati, Hindi and English
  • Safety case reviewed with the client's EHS team
  • Runs on-premises; no data leaves the site unless agreed
