The challenge
Conditions on site — heat, dust, vibration and patchy connectivity — had defeated two earlier attempts at this in sugarcane.
What we built
We ran a two-week discovery sprint, then built and fielded the system end to end on PX4, RTK and GDAL, with operator training and an SLA.
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

- Before-and-after measurements agreed with the client up front
- Remote monitoring and over-the-air updates included
- Safety case reviewed with the client's EHS team
