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 ROS 2 with LiDAR SLAM, integrated into existing systems through Open3D.
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
- Remote monitoring and over-the-air updates included
- Integrated with existing PLC, ERP or GIS systems — no rip-and-replace
- Designed, built and supported from Motera, Ahmedabad
