The challenge
Existing vendors had delivered pieces of a bvlos pipeline patrol system, but nobody owned the integration and the pilot had stalled.
What we built
We ran a two-week discovery sprint, then built and fielded the system end to end on ArduPilot, MAVLink and Jetson Orin, 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
- Designed, built and supported from Motera, Ahmedabad
- Runs on-premises; no data leaves the site unless agreed
- Before-and-after measurements agreed with the client up front
- Documentation, drawings and source handed over at close
