Understand what happens in your mill, from the cameras you already have

Lint, cotton dust and machines running through three shifts make a mill hard to keep an eye on. We watch every camera you already have, spot early smoke and flame, and flag movement near your yarn and fabric after hours. Loom idle time and PPE checks are set up for your site with our team. Our software installs on a computer at your site in 60 seconds. No new hardware.

01

Built for the way a mill runs

Spinning, weaving and garment units in Surat, Rajkot, Tiruppur and Ludhiana share the same pressures: large premises, three shifts, valuable stock on the floor, and machines that only earn while they run. You cannot stand on the floor at 2 AM, and one guard cannot watch forty screens.

We watch every connected camera. Our software reads the video from your existing Hikvision, Prama, CP Plus or Dahua recorder, or any RTSP or ONVIF camera, and turns what it sees into alerts with evidence: a photo, the camera and the time.

  • Works with the cameras and recorders you already own, no new hardware
  • Watches every connected camera, across every shift
  • Detection runs on site, and you receive clear events rather than hours of video

02

Early fire and smoke detection where lint makes it dangerous

Cotton dust, lint and overloaded electrical points make textile units some of the most fire-prone sites in manufacturing. A fire in a godown of yarn or finished fabric moves fast and can take a season's stock with it. We watch your cameras for the first visible smoke and flame and alert you with a photo, so you can act before it spreads.

This complements your fire-safety setup and never replaces it. Keep your certified fire alarms and life-safety systems in place. We add an early visual warning across areas a ceiling detector does not cover.

  • Visual smoke and flame detection from your existing cameras
  • A Telegram alert with a photo, and a voice call for urgent events
  • An early layer on top of certified fire systems, never a replacement

03

After-hours protection for yarn, fabric and finished goods

A mill or garment unit is a large, dark place once the last shift leaves, and the stock inside is worth a great deal. Tell us when your premises should be empty, and any person or vehicle moving near your godown, loading bay or stock racks during those hours is flagged.

You can write the rule in plain words, such as "tell me about any movement near the yarn store after 8 PM". You get a photo and a call while it is happening, not a log entry the next morning.

  • After-hours intrusion alerts around godowns, loading bays and stock
  • Restricted zones you mark for areas that should stay off-limits
  • A second, larger model checks every event before it reaches you

04

The checks your mill needs

Two checks are set up for your site with our team. For PPE, we configure helmet and vest checks for the areas where you require them. For looms and lines, we set up running and stopped status for the machines you choose, so late starts, long changeovers and idle time show up in your daily summary. Tell us what you need to see and we will set it up with you.

  • Helmet and vest checks, configured for your cameras and layout
  • Loom and line idle time, set up with you for the machines that matter

05

How it works

Our software installs on a computer at your unit in 60 seconds and connects to your DVR or NVR. No new cameras, no wiring, no router changes. Detection runs on site, and a second, larger model double-checks every event before it reaches you, which keeps false alarms down.

Alerts arrive on Telegram with a photo, the camera and the time, and urgent events also ring your phone. Every day you get a plain-language summary, and every week a PDF report. You can write your own rules in plain Hindi or English, such as "call me if a person enters the dyeing section after 9 PM", and ask Foreman what happened, in the app or on Telegram.

  • 60-second install on a computer at your site, using the cameras you already have
  • Telegram alerts with photo evidence, voice calls for urgent events
  • A daily summary, a weekly PDF report and rules in plain words

Our own AI models, trained in-house

We run our own AI models, trained in-house for factory and warehouse conditions: dust, low light, crowded frames and machines in motion.

You can read how we build and measure these models on our research page.

Questions

Questions, answered.

Do I need to buy new cameras or sensors?

No. Our software works with the cameras you already have, including Hikvision, Prama, CP Plus, Dahua and any RTSP or ONVIF camera, through your existing DVR or NVR. There is no new hardware and no wiring.

Is this a fire or smoke sensor?

No. We detect visible smoke and flame through your cameras. It is not a heat or smoke sensor. It gives an early warning across what your cameras can see, and it does not replace certified fire-alarm and life-safety systems. Keep those in place. We add a layer on top.

Will it work across all three shifts and at night?

Yes. We watch day and night. Our models are trained for low light and dusty mill conditions, and time-based rules turn after-hours movement near your stock into an alert.

How does it cut down false alarms?

A second, larger model checks every event before it reaches you. You get a call and a photo when something real happens, not every time a fan moves a curtain.

How do I know if a loom or line is actually idle?

We set this up for your site. Together we choose the looms or lines that matter, and we read from the camera whether each one is running or stopped. Late starts, long changeovers and idle time then appear in your daily summary, without anyone walking the floor to check.

What does it cost, and can I try it first?

₹400 per camera per month, four cameras minimum (₹1,600 a month), plus GST. Start with a free 7-day trial on up to 32 cameras, no card needed, and see it run on your own floor before you decide.
