Shivrai Technologies Pvt. Ltd.:
Centralized Access Control System for 4 Doors at Electronic Co-operative Estate, Pune

Shivrai Technologies Pvt. Ltd., a fast-growing tech enterprise based in Pune’s prime business hub – Electronic Co-operative Estate on Pune-Satara Road – required a robust, scalable, and centralized access control system to manage four critical entry/exit points. The existing lock-and-key mechanism resulted in key duplication risks, no audit trails, and difficulty controlling access across multiple doors. This case study details the successful deployment of a state-of-the-art access control system using essl F22 (entry), essl F12 Reader (exit), high-holding magnetic locks, and iSecure centralized web-based software by Cybernetics – delivering seamless 4-door security and centralized management.

🏢 The Challenge: Multi-Door Inefficiencies & Security Gaps

Operating from a multi-tenant building in Electronic Co-operative Estate, Shivrai Technologies faced several access-related issues across their 4 doors (main reception, R&D lab, server room, and back-office entry):

• 🔑 Key proliferation – Over 30 duplicate keys in circulation; no way to revoke access instantly.
• 🚪 No per-door access schedules – Employees had unrestricted access to sensitive zones like server room after hours.
• 📋 No centralized monitoring – Each door operated independently; management had no real-time visibility of who entered which door and when.
• ⚠️ Exit bottlenecks – Mechanical push bars on exit doors caused delays and maintenance issues.
• 📊 Manual attendance integration missing – Door events could not be used for workforce tracking.

Shivrai Technologies needed a future-proof access control system that could unify all 4 doors under one cloud-ready platform, provide role-based access, and deliver real-time alerts.

🛡️ Solution: Integrated Access Control System – Hardware & iSecure Software

After a thorough site audit, a custom access control system was designed for all 4 doors, leveraging proven hardware and the powerful iSecure centralized web-based software by Cybernetics. The architecture ensures that each door operates independently but is managed from a single web dashboard.

🔧 iSecure Centralized Web-Based Software by Cybernetics – The Brain

The iSecure centralized web-based software by Cybernetics replaced fragmented manual systems. It is a browser-based platform that manages all 4 doors simultaneously, including:

• ✔ Real-time access monitoring per door (main entrance, lab, server room, back office).
• ✔ Custom time-zone & holiday schedules – restrict server room access only to IT staff between 9 AM–6 PM.
• ✔ Instant email/SMS alerts for forced door openings, door left ajar, or invalid credential attempts.
• ✔ Centralized user enrollment – enroll a fingerprint or card once and assign door permissions across any combination of the 4 doors.
• ✔ Comprehensive audit trails exportable for compliance (ISMS, internal audits).

The software runs on a local server at Shivrai’s premises with optional remote access, ensuring data privacy while enabling facility managers to control doors from any location.

🛠️ Implementation – 4 Doors, 2 Days, Zero Downtime

The integration partner deployed the access control system across all four doors in a structured manner:

1. Site assessment & door preparation – Each door’s frame and power supply evaluated; magnetic locks installed with concealed cabling.
2. Reader mounting – essl F22 installed outside each secured door (entry), essl F12 reader inside for exit (touch-free RFID wave).
3. Controller & network setup – All readers connected to a centralized access control panel; each door’s magnetic lock wired to corresponding relay.
4. iSecure software configuration – Installed on a dedicated Windows server; all 4 doors defined, user database created (100+ employees).
5. Policy mapping – Role-based access: e.g., R&D team gets access to lab door only, finance team to back office, server room restricted to 4 admins.
6. Testing & training – Verified entry/exit sequences, emergency egress (magnetic locks auto-release on fire alarm integration), and trained security staff on iSecure dashboard.

Workflow example (any door): Employee presents fingerprint on essl F22 → identity verified against iSecure database → magnetic lock momentarily de-energizes → door opens. To exit, user waves card near essl F12 reader → lock releases. All events logged in iSecure centralized web-based software by Cybernetics with timestamp, door ID, and user name.

📈 Results: Centralized Control, Enhanced Security & Operational Efficiency

After 6 months of operation, Shivrai Technologies reported significant improvements across all 4 doors:

• ✅ 100% elimination of key-related breaches.
• ✅ Granular access per door – Server room access now limited to 4 authorized staff; logs show every swipe.
• ✅ Remote troubleshooting – Facility manager can unlock any door via iSecure web interface during an emergency.
• ✅ Audit compliance – Complete history of who entered which door and when, available in seconds.
• ✅ Employee convenience – Fingerprint + card hybrid; exit via F12 reader is fast and hygienic.

🌟 Why This Access Control System Stands Out (4-Door Deployment)

This project showcases a perfect blend of hardware & software for multi-door environments. Key differentiators:

• 🔹 Centralized intelligence: iSecure centralized web-based software by Cybernetics manages 4 doors from one pane of glass – add more doors anytime without replacing controllers.
• 🔹 Hybrid readers: essl F22 supports fingerprint & card, accommodating diverse user preferences; essl F12 ensures smooth egress.
• 🔹 Magnetic locks: Provide high holding force, low maintenance, and are fail-safe for fire safety compliance.
• 🔹 Scalability: Architecture allows adding 8+ more doors in future as Shivrai expands within Electronic Co-operative Estate.
• 🔹 Cost efficiency: Combined access & attendance eliminates separate time clocks, reducing total cost of ownership.

For businesses in Pune, especially those operating from tech parks like Electronic Co-operative Estate, a unified access control system with iSecure software delivers unmatched control and peace of mind.

📌 Conclusion: The Future of Multi-Door Security in Pune

Shivrai Technologies Pvt. Ltd. now enjoys a fully centralized, audit-ready, and responsive access control system covering all 4 doors. The combination of essl F22 (entry), essl F12 Reader (exit), high-security magnetic locks, and iSecure centralized web-based software by Cybernetics has not only eliminated security gaps but also streamlined daily operations.
