ForemanBecome a partner →A supervisor that watches every machine in your Rajkot shop, every shift
Auto components, castings and forging, machine tools, bearings, kitchenware, submersible pumps: Rajkot's money is made when machines are cutting and lines are moving. Foreman is software that plugs into the CCTV you already own and tells you, on WhatsApp or Telegram with photo proof, when a CNC sits idle, a helmet comes off on the foundry floor, or someone is near your scrap after hours. Setup takes about 30 minutes. Free 14-day pilot on 4 cameras, no card.

From Aji GIDC and Shapar-Veraval to Metoda GIDC and Lodhika, Rajkot runs on metal: casting shops pouring in heat and dust, forging units hammering around the clock, machining lines full of CNCs and presses, bearing and pump assembly under one roof after another.
Every one of these shops has CCTV over the machines already. But a camera that only records does not stop an idle hour, an injury or a theft; it just films them. Foreman turns those same cameras into a supervisor that never blinks and reports straight to your phone.
- Runs on your existing cameras and DVR, no new hardware
- Watches every machine and every gate, across every shift
- Alerts on WhatsApp or Telegram with photo proof, within seconds
Idle CNCs and presses are silent leaks
A CNC that stands quiet for forty minutes after lunch does not show up in any report. Neither does a press that started late or a changeover that dragged. Over a month, those minutes are real capacity you paid wages for and never got.
Foreman reads your floor visually: it tells when a machine or line is running versus stopped, flags late starts and long stops, and puts the picture in your daily digest. Instead of guessing why a dispatch target slipped, you see which station went quiet, when, and for how long. The dashboard also shows a rupee-impact estimate, labelled as the estimate it is, so you can judge the leak in your own numbers.
- Running-versus-stopped status, inferred visually from your cameras
- Late-start and long-changeover flags on the machines that matter
- Daily digest every morning; weekly PDF report for your records
Helmets on the foundry floor, and a man down behind a machine
A foundry or forging floor punishes a missing helmet. Foreman checks helmet and PPE compliance in the zones you mark, so the safety rule holds even when no supervisor is standing there. You write the rule in plain language: "alert me if anyone enters the casting bay without a helmet." Foreman enforces it on the camera that already covers that bay.
It also watches for a person down. On a floor of presses and moving steel, a worker collapsed behind a machine can go unnoticed for long minutes. Foreman flags a man-down event and alerts you with a photo, so someone reaches them fast. Every alert is double-checked before it reaches you, which keeps false alarms low on a busy floor. These are assistive alerts: Foreman raises the flag, your people decide and act.
- Helmet and PPE checks in the zones you choose
- Man-down detection behind machines and in low-traffic corners
- Near-miss alerts when vehicles and people get too close
Scrap theft and dispatch you can actually verify
Non-ferrous scrap is cash lying in your yard, and it tends to leave at night. Foreman knows when your premises should be empty and flags any person or vehicle near the scrap area, stores or gate after hours, with a photo, while it is happening rather than on next morning's footage.
At the gate, Foreman logs vehicles and dispatch movement, so you have a timestamped, photo-backed record of what left and when. When a count does not tally, you check a log instead of interrogating a register.
- After-hours intrusion alerts on yards, scrap areas and stores
- Vehicle and dispatch logging with timestamps and photos
- Plain-language rules in Hindi or English, no configuration screens
Works with the DVRs Rajkot installers fit, and pays the installers too
Foreman plugs into existing Hikvision, CP Plus and Dahua DVRs and NVRs, the brands we see most across Gujarat, and most other standard CCTV. Setup takes about 30 minutes, done remotely with your own CCTV installer or computer guy. Detection runs on-site; only short clips of a detected event go to the cloud for a second check, stored in India and auto-deleted after 30 days.
If you are the installer: your factory clients around Aji, Shapar-Veraval, Metoda and Lodhika are recurring income you have not collected yet. Foreman partners earn lifetime commission on every factory: 25% at Silver (1–10 factories), 30% at Gold (11–40), 35% at Platinum (41+), every month the client stays. We sign one primary partner per city, and Rajkot is open. Apply at foremanintelligence.com/partners.
Frequently asked
How does Foreman know a CNC or press is idle?
It infers it visually from your camera feed, the way a supervisor would: whether the machine is running or stopped, when a shift starts late, when a stop runs long. It does not connect to your machine controllers.
Will helmet alerts work in foundry dust and heat haze?
Our own AI models are trained in-house for Indian factory floors, including dust, low light and crowded frames. And every detection is double-checked before an alert reaches you, so what lands on your phone is worth acting on.
Do I need new cameras or any new hardware?
No. Foreman is software only. It connects to your existing Hikvision, CP Plus or Dahua DVR or NVR, and most standard CCTV, in about 30 minutes, remotely, with your own installer.
What does it cost for a machining or casting shop?
Sentry ₹2,999/mo covers 6 cameras, Supervisor ₹7,999/mo covers 16, Factory OS ₹19,999/mo covers 40. Annual prepay earns 2 months free. The 14-day pilot on 4 cameras is free, no card.
Can Foreman physically stop a thief or a machine?
No. Foreman watches and alerts; it takes no physical action. It gets the photo and the alert to you within seconds so your guard, your team or the police can act while it still matters.
