The challenge
The ports team was relying on manual effort that could not keep up with volume, and every miss had a direct cost.
What we built
We owned the whole stack — hardware, firmware, models and dashboards — using ArduPilot Rover, Multibeam sonar, ROS 2 so there was one accountable team.

Phase 3
Pilot on site with before/after measurement
Phase 4
Scale-out, training and handover
Highlights
