The challenge
Data existed but lived in spreadsheets and legacy systems, so decisions were made on instinct rather than evidence.
What we built
A phased rollout: a measured pilot first, then scale-out. The core runs on ROS 2 with VIO, integrated into existing systems through gRPC.
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
- Runs on-premises; no data leaves the site unless agreed
- Designed, built and supported from Motera, Ahmedabad
- Safety case reviewed with the client's EHS team
- Before-and-after measurements agreed with the client up front
