The challenge
Conditions on site — heat, dust, vibration and patchy connectivity — had defeated two earlier attempts at this in fmcg.
What we built
We owned the whole stack — hardware, firmware, models and dashboards — using ROS 2, MoveIt 2, RealSense so there was one accountable team.

Prototype built and tested in the Motera lab
Phase 3
Pilot on site with before/after measurement
