The challenge

The mining team was relying on manual effort that could not keep up with volume, and every miss had a direct cost.

What we built

We owned the whole stack — hardware, firmware, models and dashboards — using PX4, Docking station, Kubernetes so there was one accountable team.

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

  • Safety case reviewed with the client's EHS team
  • Designed, built and supported from Motera, Ahmedabad
  • Operator training delivered in Gujarati, Hindi and English
  • Remote monitoring and over-the-air updates included
