The challenge
Existing vendors had delivered pieces of a survey and mapping uav system, but nobody owned the integration and the pilot had stalled.
What we built
We ran a two-week discovery sprint, then built and fielded the system end to end on RTK, COLMAP and GDAL, with operator training and an SLA.
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
- Remote monitoring and over-the-air updates included
- Safety case reviewed with the client's EHS team
- Designed, built and supported from Motera, Ahmedabad
- Runs on-premises; no data leaves the site unless agreed
