ForemanBecome a partner →Audit evidence and clean-zone discipline, from the cameras your plant already has
In a pharma unit, one gowning lapse caught by an auditor can hold a batch or cost an export customer. Foreman watches your existing Hikvision, CP Plus or Dahua CCTV for the moments no supervisor can stand and watch all shift — a missing gown at a clean-zone door, an unauthorised entry, movement near the stores after hours — and builds a dated, photo-backed record you can put in front of an auditor. Software only. Set up remotely in about 30 minutes.

A pharma manufacturing or export unit lives and dies by what it can prove. Your own discipline may be excellent, but when an audit or an export customer's inspection comes, memory and assurance count for nothing — dated evidence counts for everything. Meanwhile the daily risks stay stubbornly human: someone slips through a gowning door without a cap, a contractor wanders into a restricted corridor, and at night the raw-material store sits in the dark with a guard at the front gate and nowhere else.
Foreman puts a tireless second set of eyes on the cameras you already own, and writes down what it sees. One held batch avoided, one audit finding prevented, pays for years of Foreman.
- Runs on your existing Hikvision, CP Plus or Dahua DVR/NVR and most standard CCTV
- Remote setup in about 30 minutes with your own CCTV installer; no new hardware
- Every alert is double-checked before it reaches you
Gowning, PPE and the doors that matter
The gowning door is where compliance holds or breaks, and it is exactly where nobody can stand all shift. Foreman checks visible gowning and PPE — cap, coat, the gear your SOP requires to be visible — at the doors and zones you mark, and flags a lapse with a timestamped photo the moment it happens.
The same zone logic guards restricted areas. Draw a zone around the granulation room, the sterile corridor or the quarantine cage, and any entry by someone who should not be there raises an alert on WhatsApp or Telegram within seconds. You set the rule in plain words: "alert me if anyone enters the granulation room without a gown and cap." Foreman enforces it on the camera already covering that door.
- Visible gowning and PPE checks at clean-zone doors, every shift
- Restricted-area entry alerts with photo proof, within seconds
- Plain-language rules in Hindi or English, no configuration screens
Evidence an auditor can hold
Auditors and export customers want proof, not promises. Because Foreman is always watching, the record builds itself: a timestamped photo for every gowning lapse, a log of every restricted-zone entry and every after-hours movement, a daily digest each morning, and a weekly PDF report you can file as audit evidence.
When the inspection comes, you are not reconstructing three months from memory and gate registers. You hand over a dated trail showing that your discipline held — and exactly where the exceptions were, so you coached them at the time, not after the finding.
- Weekly PDF report, usable as audit evidence
- Daily digest on WhatsApp or Telegram, compiled automatically
- Timestamped photo attached to every flagged event
Nights, stores and dispatch
Raw materials and finished goods in a pharma unit are dense value in small spaces. Foreman flags any person or vehicle near the raw-material or finished-goods stores when the plant should be quiet, tells you the moment a camera is covered or blacked out, and logs vehicles at your dispatch gate so you have a visual record of what left, and when.
It also counts heads: attendance per shift from the cameras, so the muster matches the floor. The first real alert typically lands within 48 hours of connecting.
- After-hours intrusion alerts around raw-material and finished-goods stores
- Camera-tampering alerts the moment a feed is blocked or goes dark
- Vehicle and dispatch logging at the gate; headcount and attendance per shift
Honest about the boundary: vision only
Foreman is camera intelligence. It detects what is visible in the frame: gowning and PPE worn or missing, people and where they are, vehicles, motion after hours.
It does not measure temperature, particle counts, air quality or contamination, and it has no contact with your process. It is not a sensor, and it does not replace your validated environmental, quality or documentation systems — the instruments and procedures your GMP standards require stay exactly where they are. Think of Foreman as a watcher that makes your existing discipline visible and provable, not a substitute for it. Assistive alerts; your people decide.
- No thermal, particle, gas, chemical or contamination sensing — only what a camera sees
- Complements your validated quality systems; it does not replace them
- Detection runs on-site; clips are stored in India and auto-deleted after 30 days
What it costs, against one held batch
A typical pharma unit — gowning doors, corridors, stores, gate — fits the Supervisor plan: 16 cameras at ₹7,999/month, or ₹79,990 for the year with two months free.
Set that against one plainly framed hypothetical: suppose a single gowning lapse becomes an audit finding, or one batch is held pending investigation. You know what a held batch is worth in your unit, and what a repeat finding costs with an export customer — 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 trade on your own numbers.

Frequently asked
Can Foreman detect contamination or monitor clean-room temperature?
No. Foreman is vision only. It sees what the camera sees: gowning worn or missing, who is in a zone, movement after hours. It does not measure temperature, particles or contamination, and it does not replace your validated environmental and quality controls.
Will auditors accept its reports?
Foreman gives you a timestamped, photo-backed record and a weekly PDF you can file as supporting evidence of your monitoring discipline. It supplements your documented quality system; your validated records remain the primary evidence, as your standards require.
Do I need new cameras or hardware?
No. It runs on the Hikvision, CP Plus or Dahua system you already have, and most standard CCTV. Setup is remote, takes about 30 minutes, and is done with your own CCTV installer.
Where does the footage go?
Detection runs on-site and continuous footage stays on your premises. Only short clips around a detected event go to the cloud for a second, more thorough check before any alert fires. Clips are stored in India and auto-deleted after 30 days. We never train on your footage without consent and never sell data.
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, with two months free on annual prepay. Start with a free 14-day pilot on 4 cameras — no card required.
