Your Coimbatore unit already has cameras. Foreman makes them earn their keep.

Pump and motor manufacturers, foundries pouring metal in heat and dust, machine shops, wet-grinder makers and the spinning mills that earned Coimbatore the name Manchester of South India, all share one problem: nobody is watching the cameras. Foreman plugs into the DVR you already own and sends a WhatsApp or Telegram alert, with photo proof, the moment something goes wrong. Setup takes about 30 minutes. Free 14-day pilot on 4 cameras, no card.

Built for the way Coimbatore actually works

Coimbatore runs on engineering and textiles: pumpset and motor units shipping across India, a foundry cluster casting for the country's machine builders, job-working machine shops, wet-grinder and appliance makers, and spinning mills that have run for generations. Most of it is owner-run, margin-tight and dependent on machines that must not stop.

Every one of these units has CCTV. Almost none of it is watched. Thefts, fires and stoppages are discovered the next morning, on footage, after the loss is already done. Foreman changes what those cameras are for: from recording losses to preventing them.

  • Software only, runs on the DVR and cameras you already own
  • Watches every camera, every second, across every shift
  • Alerts on WhatsApp or Telegram with photo proof, within seconds
  • Trained in-house for foundry dust, mill lint and low light

Fire watch for foundries, mills and stores

A foundry floor lives with sparks and heat by design, which makes the fire that starts in the wrong place, in stores, in electrical panels, in the cotton and packing material of a mill godown, easy to miss until it is big. A fire seen at second ten is an incident. The same fire at minute ten is the loss that decides your year.

Foreman watches your cameras for the first visible signs of smoke and flame outside the places fire belongs, and alerts you in seconds with a photo, while it is still one corner of one rack. It complements your certified fire-alarm systems; it never replaces them.

  • Visual smoke and flame detection from existing cameras, day and night
  • An early layer on top of, never a substitute for, certified fire systems
  • Every event is double-checked before an alert fires, so alerts stay real

Night theft, shift attendance and idle machines

Castings, copper winding wire, motors and finished pumps are exactly the kind of stock that walks out of unwatched units at night. Foreman knows when your premises should be empty and flags any person or vehicle near your stores, scrap yard or gate when no one should be there, with a photo and a voice call so you can act immediately.

Rules are written in plain Tamil, Hindi or English: "If anyone enters the winding-wire store after 9 pm, send me a photo." Foreman follows that rule every night without getting sleepy. It also counts heads shift by shift, so attendance matches reality rather than the register, and flags lathes, presses and spinning frames that sit stopped while you pay wages around them.

  • After-hours intrusion alerts around stores, scrap yards and gates
  • Headcount and attendance, shift by shift, from the cameras you have
  • Idle-machine tracking: late starts, long stops, machines not earning
  • Daily WhatsApp/Telegram digest plus a weekly report

Works on the DVRs Coimbatore installers already fit

Frequently asked

Will Foreman work on my existing DVR, or do I need new cameras?

It works on the CCTV you already have. Hikvision, CP Plus and Dahua connect directly, and most standard RTSP/ONVIF DVRs and NVRs work too. No new cameras, no rewiring.

Foundry floors are hot, dusty and full of sparks. Will it constantly false-alarm?

Every detection is double-checked before an alert fires, and our own AI models are trained in-house for Indian factory conditions, including dust, heat shimmer and low light. During your pilot we tune rules to your floor so alerts stay real.

Is this a replacement for my fire alarm?

No. Foreman detects the visible signs of smoke and flame through your cameras; it is not a heat or smoke sensor. Keep your certified fire-safety systems in place. Foreman adds a fast visual early warning on top.

What does it cost for a typical Coimbatore unit?

Sentry ₹2,999/mo (6 cameras), Supervisor ₹7,999/mo (16), Factory OS ₹19,999/mo (40). Annual prepay = 2 months free. Start with the free 14-day pilot on 4 cameras, no card.

Where does my footage go?

Detection runs on-site, so continuous footage never leaves your premises. Only short clips around a detected event go for a second check; they are stored in India and auto-deleted after 30 days. We never sell data.

Can I write my own rules?

Yes. Rules are written in plain Tamil, Hindi or English, for example "If the mixing section is empty for more than 20 minutes during a shift, alert the supervisor." Foreman enforces them around the clock.
