Project Overview
Sairam Stone Crusher, located at Phulgaon, Pune, is a quarrying and stone crushing operation that employs a workforce of site workers, machine operators, and administrative staff. As the business expanded, the management identified two critical operational needs: a reliable biometric access control system in Pune to secure the facility entrance, and a cloud-based ESSL cloud attendance software to manage employee attendance remotely without requiring on-premise servers.
ESSL Pune was engaged to deliver both requirements as a single, integrated solution — deploying the ESSL AiFace ERIS AI face recognition terminal at the entry gate, connected to a magnetic lock and exit button for door access control, and integrated with Wepro ESSL cloud attendance software for real-time attendance tracking and reporting.
About Sairam Stone Crusher, Phulgaon Pune
Sairam Stone Crusher operates a stone crushing and aggregates production facility at Phulgaon, on the outskirts of Pune. The site processes raw quarried stone into graded aggregates used for construction, road building, and infrastructure projects. Operations run across day and evening shifts with a mixed workforce of full-time employees and daily-wage workers.
The remote location of the Phulgaon facility — away from Pune's main IT infrastructure corridors — made cloud-based solutions particularly important. The management needed a biometric access control system in Pune that could function reliably at an industrial outdoor site, alongside ESSL cloud attendance software accessible from anywhere without a dedicated on-site server room.
Challenges at the Site
Before the ESSL Pune deployment, Sairam Stone Crusher faced operational and security challenges that affected both site management and HR administration:
Two-in-One: Biometric Access Control System in Pune + ESSL Cloud Attendance Software
ESSL Pune delivered a unified solution addressing both requirements simultaneously — a biometric access control system in Pune for physical door security, and Wepro ESSL cloud attendance software for remote, real-time employee attendance management. Both components are powered by a single ESSL AiFace ERIS AI face recognition terminal.

Wepro ESSL Cloud Attendance Software
The Wepro ESSL cloud attendance software is a fully web-based attendance management platform hosted on the cloud — meaning no local server, no IT maintenance, and no on-site installation of attendance software is needed. For Sairam Stone Crusher at the Phulgaon site, this was a critical advantage.
The ESSL AiFace ERIS terminal syncs all attendance punches in real time to the Wepro cloud platform over the internet. The owner and management team can log in to the ESSL cloud attendance software dashboard from their mobile, laptop, or tablet — from Pune city, from home, or from any location — to view live attendance, run reports, and track workforce presence at the Phulgaon site at any time.

How the Biometric Access Control System Works
The integrated biometric access control system in Pune and ESSL cloud attendance software at Sairam Stone Crusher operates on a seamless, fully automated workflow — from gate entry to cloud-hosted attendance record:
Employee Arrives at Site Gate
The employee approaches the entry gate where the ESSL AiFace ERIS terminal is mounted. No card, fob, or mobile is required — the employee simply faces the terminal.
AI Face Recognition in Under 0.5 Seconds
The AiFace ERIS uses deep-learning AI to capture and match the employee's face against enrolled templates in under half a second. Anti-spoofing technology prevents photo or mask fraud. The terminal displays the employee's name and photo on the screen.
Magnetic Lock Releases – Door Opens
On successful face match, the terminal sends an unlock signal to the electromagnetic magnetic lock. The lock releases and the door opens, allowing the verified employee to enter the site. Unrecognised individuals are denied entry and the attempt is logged.
Attendance Punch Syncs to Wepro Cloud
Simultaneously, the IN punch is transmitted over the internet to the Wepro ESSL cloud attendance software. The record appears on the cloud dashboard in real time — visible to the owner and HR manager from any location.
Exit via Push Button
When leaving the site, the employee presses the exit button mounted inside the gate. The door unlocks from the inside and an OUT punch is recorded and synced to the cloud automatically — completing the attendance record for the session.
Reports Available on Cloud Dashboard
HR and the owner log into the Wepro ESSL cloud attendance software dashboard to view real-time attendance status, generate daily and monthly reports, review shift-wise records, and export payroll-ready data — from anywhere, at any time.
We were looking for a system that could control who enters our Phulgaon site and also let us track attendance from Pune city without visiting every day. ESSL Pune gave us exactly that — the face recognition locks the gate automatically, and I can see who came to work right from my phone using the cloud software. It has made running our site so much easier.— Owner / Managing Director, Sairam Stone Crusher, Phulgaon, Pune
