ForemanBecome a partner →Surat's textile floors lose money at night and between shifts. Your cameras can stop it.
A weaving shed, an embroidery unit, a texturising plant and a grey-fabric godown share the same problem: too much value, too many hours, too few eyes. Foreman runs our own AI models on the Hikvision, CP Plus or Dahua system you already own and alerts you on WhatsApp or Telegram, with photo proof, the moment something goes wrong. No new cameras, no rewiring.
Start a free pilotWhere a Surat textile unit actually bleeds
Ask any owner on the Sachin, Pandesara or Kadodara belt where the money leaks, and the answers repeat. A fire near a texturising machine or in a godown stacked with grey fabric. Yarn and fabric that walk out at night. Looms that sit silent while wages run. A muster register that says forty people came, on a floor that clearly held thirty.
The cameras you installed years ago can now watch for all of this, across all three shifts, without a person staring at a screen. Foreman turns your existing DVR feeds into plain alerts on your phone. One prevented loss pays for years of Foreman.
- Works on your existing Hikvision, CP Plus or Dahua DVR/NVR and most standard CCTV
- Watches every connected camera, every second, across all three shifts
- Detection runs on-site; continuous footage stays on your premises
Fire and smoke, caught while it is still small
Lint and cotton dust make textile floors burn fast. A spark near a texturising machine, an overloaded panel in a godown corner, and a season's stock can be gone before the brigade arrives. Foreman watches your cameras for the first visible signs of smoke and flame and alerts you within seconds, with a photo. A fire seen at second ten is an incident. The same fire at minute ten is the loss that decides your year.
The boundary, stated plainly: this is visual detection. It complements your certified fire-alarm and life-safety systems; it never replaces them. Foreman adds a fast early warning across the blind spots a ceiling sensor never sees.
- Visual smoke and flame detection on the cameras covering godowns and machines
- Photo proof on WhatsApp or Telegram within seconds
- A layer on top of, never a substitute for, certified fire systems
Night theft, tampering and the godown gate
Most break-ins are discovered the next morning, on footage, after the loss is already done. Yarn beams, grey fabric and finished saris are easy to move and easy to sell, and a dark godown at 2 AM is a soft target.
Foreman knows when your premises should be empty. Any person or vehicle near the godown, the loading gate or the stock racks after hours triggers an instant photo alert. It also flags loitering near the godown during the day, and tells you the moment a camera is covered or blacked out — often the first move before a theft.
- After-hours intrusion alerts around godowns, gates and stock areas
- Loitering alerts when someone hangs around the godown too long
- Camera-tampering alerts the moment a lens is blocked or a feed goes dark
Idle looms, late starts and phantom attendance
A loom earns only while it runs. Foreman infers visually whether a machine is running or stopped, and flags late shift starts, long changeovers and idle stretches you are paying wages for. Over a month, those silent minutes are real capacity you can reclaim.
It also counts heads: attendance across three shifts, by camera, so the number on the floor matches the muster and phantom entries stop costing you salaries for work that never happened.
- Running-versus-stopped status for looms and lines, inferred from your cameras
- Late-start and idle-time flags, summed up in your daily digest
- Headcount and attendance per shift, from the cameras you already have
Set up in 30 minutes, rules in your own words
There is nothing to buy and nothing to rewire. Our team connects to your existing DVR remotely, working with your own CCTV installer or computer guy, in about 30 minutes. The first real alert typically lands within 48 hours.
Then you write rules the way you would say them: "agar raat 9 baje ke baad godown ke paas koi dikhe, mujhe turant photo ke saath batao." Foreman follows them. A daily digest lands every morning on WhatsApp or Telegram; a weekly PDF report sums up fires, intrusions, idle time and attendance. Our models are trained in-house for Indian factory floors — dust, low light, crowded frames — and every alert is double-checked before it reaches you.
- Remote setup in about 30 minutes with your existing installer, no new hardware
- Plain Hindi or English rules; alerts with photo proof in seconds
- Daily digest every morning, weekly PDF report every week
What it costs, against what a godown fire costs
A typical Surat unit with a shed, a godown and a gate runs comfortably on the Supervisor plan: 16 cameras at ₹7,999/month, or ₹79,990 for the year with two months free.
Now price the other side yourself. If a fire catches one corner of a godown holding a season's grey fabric, or a night theft clears two racks of finished stock, what is the number? You know your stock value better than we do, and we will not invent a number to impress you. During the free pilot, the dashboard shows a rupee-impact estimate — labelled as an estimate — so you can judge the maths on your own floor.
- Supervisor: 16 cameras, ₹7,999/month or ₹79,990/year (2 months free)
- Compare it against one hypothetical godown fire or one night's stolen stock
- Check the rupee-impact estimate on your dashboard during the pilot
Frequently asked
Do I need new cameras or any new hardware?
No. Foreman is software only. It works on the Hikvision, CP Plus or Dahua DVR or NVR you already have, and most standard CCTV. Setup is done remotely in about 30 minutes with your own installer.
Is this a fire alarm?
No. Foreman detects the visible signs of smoke and flame through your cameras. It is a fast early warning, not a certified fire-alarm system, and it does not replace one. Keep your fire-safety equipment in place.
Will it work at night and across all three shifts?
Yes. Foreman watches continuously, and our models are trained for low light and dusty conditions. Time-based rules mean movement near the godown after hours raises an immediate alert.
How do I know the alerts will not drive me mad?
Every detection gets a second, more thorough check before anything reaches your phone. You get a photo when something real happens, not a buzz every time a stray dog crosses the gate.
What does it cost, and can I try it first?
Sentry is ₹2,999/month for 6 cameras, Supervisor ₹7,999/month for 16, Factory OS ₹19,999/month for 40. Annual prepay gets two months free. Start with a free 14-day pilot on 4 cameras — no card needed.
