The challenge
Leadership wanted measurable results inside one quarter, with no disruption to running operations.
What we built
A phased rollout: a measured pilot first, then scale-out. The core runs on ArduPilot with MAVLink, integrated into existing systems through RabbitMQ.
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
- Operator training delivered in Gujarati, Hindi and English
- Before-and-after measurements agreed with the client up front
