The challenge
Existing vendors had delivered pieces of a drone-in-a-box system, but nobody owned the integration and the pilot had stalled.
What we built
Built in our Motera lab, validated on a replica rig, then commissioned on site in days using PX4 and Kubernetes.
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
- Documentation, drawings and source handed over at close
- 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
