Your presses and CNCs only earn while they run. Foreman tells you the moment they stop.

In an auto-component or engineering shop — Rajkot, Pune, or anywhere presses, CNCs, castings and forgings make the margin — the losses are quiet: an idle machine, a changeover that drags, a helmet that comes off near an overhead load, brass scrap that leaves in the wrong pocket. Foreman watches your existing Hikvision, CP Plus or Dahua CCTV and puts each of those moments on your phone, with photo proof. Set up remotely in about 30 minutes.

The margin leaks no report shows you

A job-work shop's economics are brutal: thin margins, quoted rates, and machines that must run to pay for themselves. The leaks that kill those margins rarely show up in any register. The CNC that sat idle forty minutes waiting for material. The press changeover that took two hours instead of one. The night shift that started late. The finished components and non-ferrous scrap that shrink a little every month. The dispatch that left with one carton fewer than the challan says.

Every one of these is visible on the cameras you already own. Foreman watches them all, every second, and tells you what a supervisor with a stopwatch never could. One prevented loss pays for years of Foreman.

Idle machines and long changeovers, measured at last

Foreman infers visually whether a machine or line is running or stopped. It flags late shift starts, changeovers that run long, and idle stretches on the machines you mark as critical. Instead of guessing why a target slipped, you see which station went quiet, when, and for how long.

Set a rule in your own words — "agar CNC-2 din mein 30 minute se zyada band rahe, mujhe shaam ko batao" — and the daily digest does the rest. Over a month, the recovered minutes are capacity you already paid for.

Helmets, man-down and near-misses on a floor that bites

Presses, forgings and overhead loads punish a missing helmet. Foreman checks helmet and PPE compliance in the zones you mark and alerts you, with a photo, when someone works without it — so the habit holds even when no supervisor is standing there.

Man-down watches for a person on the ground who stays down, which matters most behind machines and in corners nobody passes for an hour. Near-miss alerts flag a forklift and a person too close in a marked lane, so you see the pattern of close calls before one becomes an injury and a stalled line. Alerts are assistive: Foreman flags fast, your people decide and act.

Finished goods, scrap and the dispatch gate

Machined components and non-ferrous scrap are dense value that fits in a bag. Foreman detects people and vehicles on the floor after hours, flags movement near finished-goods racks and scrap bins when there should be none, and tells you the moment a camera is covered or goes dark.

At the gate, vehicle and dispatch logging gives you a visual record of what left and when, so a dispatch dispute becomes a lookup instead of an argument. Attendance and headcount from the same cameras mean the muster matches the floor, shift after shift.

Set up in 30 minutes, alerts within days

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 of connecting.

Alerts arrive on WhatsApp or Telegram with photo proof, within seconds. A daily digest lands every morning, and a weekly PDF report sums up idle time, safety flags and after-hours events. Our own AI models are trained in-house for Indian factory floors — dust, low light, crowded frames — and every alert is double-checked before it reaches you.

What it costs, against one idle hour a day

A typical component shop — machine bays, stores, scrap area, gate — fits the Supervisor plan: 16 cameras at ₹7,999/month, or ₹79,990 for the year with two months free.

Now run your own arithmetic. Suppose one machine sits idle just one hour a day that you currently do not see. You know your machine-hour rate — multiply it across a month, then a year, and set it against ₹79,990. We will not invent a number to impress you; your rate card already tells the story. During the free pilot, the dashboard shows a rupee-impact estimate, labelled as an estimate, built from the idle time and events Foreman actually finds on your floor.

Frequently asked

How does Foreman know a machine is idle?

It infers it visually from the camera feed — running versus stopped, late starts, long changeovers. It does not connect to your machine controllers; it reads the floor the way a supervisor would, from what the camera sees.

Do I need new cameras or hardware?

No. Foreman is software only and works on your existing Hikvision, CP Plus or Dahua DVR or NVR, and most standard CCTV. Setup is remote, takes about 30 minutes, and is done with your own installer.

Will it flood me with alerts on a busy floor?

No. Every detection gets a second, more thorough check before it reaches your phone, and your rules decide what counts. You hear about the real helmet lapse and the real intrusion, not every trolley that crosses a frame.

Can it stop theft of components and scrap?

It cannot physically stop anyone, but it changes the discovery time. Movement near stores or scrap bins after hours, loitering, and a covered camera all trigger instant photo alerts — so you act while it is happening, not the next morning on old footage.

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 needed.
