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 ROS 2 and OpenCV.

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

  • Runs on-premises; no data leaves the site unless agreed
  • Safety case reviewed with the client's EHS team
  • Documentation, drawings and source handed over at close
  • Remote monitoring and over-the-air updates included
