Suprabha Protective Products Pvt. Ltd., Saswad Pune:
Face Biometric Attendance System with Auto Push & Centralized Web Software

Suprabha Protective Products Pvt. Ltd., a leading manufacturer of industrial safety and protective equipment, operates from its facility in Saswad, Mangalwar Peth, Pune. With over 150 employees working in shifts, the company faced significant challenges in tracking attendance accurately and in real-time. Manual registers and traditional fingerprint systems were prone to buddy punching, delays in report generation, and lacked real-time visibility for management. They required a modern face biometric attendance system with auto push for real-time attendance marking and a centralized web based software hosted on their own server with a static IP. The chosen solution: eSSL uFACE 302 face biometric machines with auto push capability, integrated with ESSL Centralized Web Based Attendance Software by Cybernetics, hosted on-premises at their Saswad facility using a static IP server. This case study details the deployment and its impact.

📋 The Challenge: Real-Time Visibility & Remote Management Needs

Suprabha’s Saswad facility faced several pain points:

• 😷 Buddy punching & proxy attendance – Fingerprint systems were being circumvented; employees marked attendance for absent colleagues.
• ⏱️ No real-time attendance data – Attendance logs were downloaded manually from devices via USB, causing 2-3 day delays.
• 🌐 Lack of centralized web access – Management at Mangalwar Peth office could not view live attendance across shifts.
• 🔧 Hygiene concerns – During flu seasons, contact-based fingerprint readers raised health concerns among employees.
• 📊 Shift management complexity – Multiple production shifts required accurate overtime and late-arrival tracking, which was error-prone manually.
• 🏢 On-premises hosting requirement – Due to data security policies, they needed the software hosted internally on a static IP server, not a public cloud.

Suprabha needed a face biometric attendance system with auto push for real-time attendance marking and a centralized web based software that could be hosted on their own static IP server, accessible from any authorized location.

🛡️ Solution: eSSL uFACE 302 with Auto Push & On-Premises Centralized Web Software

The expert team at Cybernetics Software (powered by essl Pune) designed and deployed a complete solution:

😀 eSSL uFACE 302 – Contactless Face Biometric with Auto Push

The eSSL uFACE 302 is a high-performance face recognition terminal featuring:

• ✔ Contactless authentication – Users simply stand in front of the device; no physical contact, improving hygiene.
• ✔ Auto push mode – Configured to push every attendance transaction (check-in/check-out) in real-time to the centralized server over the local network (or internet) using the static IP address of the server.
• ✔ Dual biometric (face + optional fingerprint) – Face as primary, with fallback options.
• ✔ Anti-spoofing – Infrared camera detects live faces, preventing photo attacks.
• ✔ Large user capacity – Supports up to 1,000+ faces, suitable for Suprabha’s workforce and future growth.

The devices are connected to the facility’s LAN. Each time an employee marks attendance, the uFACE 302 automatically pushes the record (timestamp, user ID, direction) to the ESSL Centralized Web Based Attendance Software hosted on the on-premises static IP server. No manual data download is required.

🌐 ESSL Centralized Web Based Attendance Software by Cybernetics (On-Premises Hosting)

The software was installed on a dedicated server at Suprabha’s Saswad facility with a static public IP address (provided by their ISP). Key features utilized:

• ✔ Centralized dashboard – Real-time view of all employees marked present, absent, late, or on leave. Accessible from any browser within the LAN, and also from the Mangalwar Peth office via secure whitelisted IP/VPN.
• ✔ Auto data collection – The software listens for incoming data from all uFACE 302 devices (auto push). No manual syncing required.
• ✔ Shift & overtime management – Configure multiple production shifts; system automatically calculates late arrivals, early exits, and overtime.
• ✔ Leave & attendance policy engine – Integrates with HR policies for leave balances, compensatory offs, etc.
• ✔ Real-time alerts – Email notifications for absenteeism, late coming, or exceptions.
• ✔ Comprehensive reporting – Daily, weekly, monthly attendance reports, exportable to Excel/PDF for payroll integration.
• ✔ Role-based access – Factory HR, plant manager, and corporate office users have different permission levels.

Hosting with static IP ensured: Reliable access from remote locations, direct device-to-server communication without third-party cloud intermediaries, and full data sovereignty – crucial for Suprabha’s compliance requirements.

🛠️ Implementation – Seamless Deployment at Saswad & Mangalwar Peth

The deployment was completed in 3 days with minimal disruption to production shifts:

1. Infrastructure assessment – Evaluated network connectivity, power backup, and server readiness at Saswad facility. Arranged static IP from ISP.
2. Server setup – Installed ESSL Centralized Web Based Attendance Software by Cybernetics on a dedicated Windows server with static IP configuration. Opened required firewall ports for device communication.
3. Device placement & installation – Mounted eSSL uFACE 302 units at three strategic points: main entry, production floor entry, and office block. Powered via PoE/adapters with UPS backup.
4. Network configuration – Connected each uFACE 302 to the LAN. Configured device communication settings: server static IP address, TCP port, and auto push interval (real-time).
5. Employee enrollment – Enrolled 150+ employees with face templates (2-3 angles each). Also enrolled backup fingerprints optionally.
6. Software configuration – Set up departments, shifts (morning, general, night), weekly offs, holiday calendar, and attendance rules (grace periods, overtime calculation).
7. Testing & training – Verified real-time auto push from devices to software. Tested remote access from Mangalwar Peth office. Trained HR and supervisors on web dashboard usage, report generation, and exception handling.

Real-time flow: Employee stands before uFACE 302 → face recognized in under 1 second → device instantly pushes timestamp + user ID to the centralized software on static IP server → attendance record appears on web dashboard within 2-3 seconds. No manual intervention, no delays.

📊 Results: Real-Time Visibility, Eliminated Buddy Punching, Operational Efficiency

After 2 months of operation, Suprabha Protective Products reported transformative results:

• ✅ Real-time attendance marking – Auto push from uFACE 302 to centralized server means management sees live check-ins from any web browser.
• ✅ 100% elimination of buddy punching – Face biometric with liveness detection ensures only the actual employee marks attendance.
• ✅ On-premises data control – Static IP server hosted at client location meets data security policies; no reliance on external cloud.
• ✅ Centralized access from anywhere – Authorized personnel at Mangalwar Peth office can log into the web software securely using the static IP address.
• ✅ Reduced HR workload – Automated reports and exception handling cut reconciliation time by over 90%.
• ✅ Contactless & hygienic – Face recognition eliminates physical touch, reducing infection risks.

🌟 Why This Solution Stands Out – Face Biometric + Auto Push + Static IP Centralized Hosting

Suprabha’s success highlights the advantages of a truly modern attendance architecture:

• 🔹 Contactless Face Biometric – eSSL uFACE 302 provides fast, hygienic, and spoof-proof authentication – perfect for manufacturing environments.
• 🔹 Auto Push for Real-Time Marking – No manual data downloads. Every punch is pushed to the server instantly, enabling live dashboards and instant reporting.
• 🔹 Centralized Web Based Software – Manage multiple devices, shifts, and thousands of employees from a single browser interface.
• 🔹 On-Premises Hosting with Static IP – Ideal for organizations that cannot use public cloud due to data privacy policies. Full control, secure remote access.
• 🔹 Reduced Administrative Burden – Automated attendance policy engine and real-time alerts save HR teams dozens of hours every week.

For factories, offices, and campuses in Saswad, Mangalwar Peth, or anywhere in Pune, this solution delivers real-time, contactless, and secure attendance management.
