Auto-components plant, Pune — perimeter + access refresh
A 4-acre auto-components plant needed perimeter CCTV refresh, ANPR for gate management, and biometric access for production zones to align with their customer vendor-security audit.
Cadabra delivered the BOM, coordinated install with the plant electrical contractor, and provided the audit documentation pack. Cleared the customer audit on first pass.
Manufacturing-specific questions
Do you supply industrial / wide-temp kit?
Yes — wide-temp managed switches (-20 to +60C), IP66+ outdoor APs and cameras, and ruggedised access readers are standard categories we carry.
Can you integrate access with payroll?
Sigur ACS exports CSV/API logs that reconcile to most payroll systems. We have done integrations with TCS Payforce, Greythr, and Zoho People.
What about explosion-proof or hazardous zone equipment?
For ATEX / IS-13346 zones we partner with specialised distributors; not in our standard catalog but available on quote.
