The challenge

Existing vendors had delivered pieces of a inspection crawler robot 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 ROS 2 with Ultrasonic NDT, integrated into existing systems through Fusion 360.

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

  • Designed, built and supported from Motera, Ahmedabad
  • Runs on-premises; no data leaves the site unless agreed
  • Operator training delivered in Gujarati, Hindi and English
  • Safety case reviewed with the client's EHS team
