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

  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

  • 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
