Executive Summary
A Smart Move to the Cloud
Kdee Electroera India Pvt Ltd, a growing electronics company based in the Chakan industrial corridor of Pune, faced mounting challenges managing employee attendance across its facility. Manual registers, legacy software, and disconnected data created inefficiencies that impacted payroll accuracy and operational visibility.
In partnership with EsslPune, the company deployed the AIFACE ERIS — an AI-powered face recognition terminal — integrated with essl cloud software. The result: a fully cloud-managed, real-time attendance ecosystem requiring zero on-premise infrastructure.
Client Background
About Kdee Electroera India Pvt Ltd
Kdee Electroera India Pvt Ltd is an electronics-focused manufacturing and distribution company operating out of Chakan, Pune — one of Maharashtra's fastest-growing industrial zones. The company manages a sizeable workforce across production, logistics, and administration functions, each with distinct shift patterns and attendance requirements.
As the workforce expanded, the limitations of traditional attendance tracking became a bottleneck. The company needed a solution that was scalable, accurate, and accessible remotely by HR and management teams — without the overhead of dedicated IT infrastructure.
The Challenge
Pain Points Before essl Cloud Software
- Manual attendance registers led to proxy entries and errors in payroll processing.
- No remote access — HR managers could not view attendance data without being physically present at the office.
- Legacy biometric devices stored data locally, requiring manual data extraction and increasing risk of data loss.
- Shift management was cumbersome, with no automated roster or real-time shift adherence tracking.
- Payroll delays caused by reconciling attendance data manually every month.
The Solution
AIFACE ERIS + essl Cloud Software — A Complete Stack
EsslPune proposed a two-layer solution combining cutting-edge hardware with a proven cloud platform.
Hardware: AIFACE ERIS
The AIFACE ERIS is a next-generation AI face recognition terminal built for enterprise-grade accuracy. Key features include contactless face recognition, liveness detection to prevent spoofing, and a robust IP-rated enclosure suited for industrial environments like Chakan's manufacturing plants. The device connects directly to the cloud, eliminating the need for local servers or manual data transfers.
Software: essl Cloud Software
essl cloud software is a SaaS-based attendance and workforce management platform developed by eSSL Security — one of India's leading biometric solution providers. When integrated with the AIFACE ERIS device, essl cloud software enables:
- Real-time punch data sync from device to cloud — accessible anywhere, anytime.
- Automated shift scheduling, overtime calculation, and leave management.
- Payroll-ready attendance reports exportable in multiple formats.
- Multi-user access with role-based permissions for HR, Admin, and Management.
- Automatic software updates — no IT team required to maintain the platform.
- Secure cloud storage with regular backups, eliminating risk of local data loss.
"The integration between AIFACE ERIS and essl cloud software meant the data was live on the dashboard the moment an employee punched in — no delays, no manual intervention."
Implementation
Deployment at Chakan, Pune
EsslPune carried out the end-to-end implementation at Kdee Electroera's Chakan facility. The deployment process included:
- Site survey to identify optimal device placement points for maximum facial recognition coverage at entry and exit gates.
- Enrollment of all employees — face templates captured and uploaded to essl cloud software within the first day.
- Network configuration to ensure stable device-to-cloud communication with failover support.
- HR team training on using the essl cloud software dashboard for attendance monitoring, report generation, and leave approvals.
- Go-live and handover — system was fully operational within a short deployment window with zero downtime to operations.
