Wagholi Food Manufacturer Needed a Secure, Automated Entry System for Its Growing Workforce
Itiadi Foods, a fast‑growing food processing unit in Wagholi (eastern Pune), operates with a workforce that includes permanent staff, contract workers, and daily‑wage labourers. Managing attendance manually at the gate was inefficient, prone to buddy punching, and created security gaps. The company wanted a solution that would:
Unauthorised Entry Risks
Without a physical barrier, anyone could walk in — posing security and safety risks in a food processing environment.
Manual Attendance at Gate
Security guards were manually logging entries — time‑consuming and error‑prone, with no real‑time data.
Buddy Punching
Workers could clock in for absent colleagues — payroll was inflated and attendance records unreliable.
No Integration with Payroll
Attendance logs were not automatically linked to the payroll system — month‑end reconciliation was a headache.
"We needed a system that would physically control who enters our factory and automatically capture attendance — all in one go. The ESSL tripod turnstile with face recognition was exactly what we were looking for."
— Plant Manager, Itiadi FoodsESSL Tripod Turnstile Gate + AI Face Mars Reader + iSecure Enterprise Attendance
Cybernetics Software (eSSL Pune) designed and deployed a complete entry management ecosystem for Itiadi Foods at their Wagholi facility. The solution integrates:
- ESSL Tripod Turnstile Gate — a robust physical barrier that allows one person per entry, preventing tailgating.
- AI Face Mars Face Reader — a high‑speed, touchless face recognition terminal that authenticates employees in under a second.
- iSecure Enterprise Attendance Management System — a cloud‑based platform that receives real‑time data, manages shifts, and generates payroll‑ready reports.
Tripod turnstile installed at the main entry gate
The turnstile was positioned at the single‑point entry to the factory premises. It physically restricts access to only those who authenticate successfully.
AI Face Mars reader integrated with the turnstile
The face reader was mounted at eye level next to the turnstile. Employees approach, look at the reader, and are verified in < 1 second — the turnstile unlocks automatically.
iSecure Enterprise configured for all employee categories
Permanent staff, contract workers, and daily‑wage labourers were enrolled with category‑specific shift and leave rules in the iSecure platform.
Real‑time attendance and gate‑access logs — one dashboard
Every entry event is recorded in iSecure with timestamp and employee ID. Managers can view live who is on-site, and the system automatically calculates attendance for payroll.
