GPC Infrastructure Pvt. Ltd. specializes in infrastructure development services including:
- Building Construction Services
- Commercial Construction Projects
- Residential Construction Projects
The company operates multiple Damar (asphalt/bitumen mix) plants across Banaskantha, Gujarat and manages a large volume of incoming and outgoing raw materials transported via trucks.
Accurate tracking of these materials is critical for operational efficiency and financial transparency.
The Challenge
GPC Infrastructure was facing major operational difficulties in tracking incoming and outgoing raw materials, particularly Damar used in road construction.
The entire tracking system relied on traditional manual processes using Excel sheets, which created several operational challenges.
Key Challenges
Manual Data Entry
Operators manually recorded truck weights and material details in Excel files, making the process slow and inefficient.
Time-Consuming Data Analysis
Because the data was scattered across multiple spreadsheets, generating reports and key operational metrics required additional time and manual effort.
Dependence on Human Operators
A dedicated operator was required to record every truck entry and exit at the weighbridge, increasing labor dependency.
Risk of Human Error
Manual data entry increased the chances of incorrect entries and data inconsistencies.
Risk of Malicious Activity
Because the system depended on manual logging, there were instances where data could be manipulated, leading to possibilities of malicious entries or bribery-related discrepancies.
These operational inefficiencies prompted GPC Infrastructure to search for a more reliable and automated system.
Our Approach
After analyzing the client’s workflow and operational challenges, Zikasha designed a simple yet highly impactful automation solution.
Instead of relying on manual data entry, we introduced a camera-assisted automated truck tracking system integrated with intelligent software processing.
The system automates the entire process of capturing truck data, extracting weight values, and storing the information securely in the cloud.
This solution significantly reduces human intervention while ensuring accuracy, transparency, and operational efficiency.
How the System Works
The implemented system uses a camera-based monitoring system combined with intelligent image processing.
Automated Image Capture
When a truck arrives at the weighbridge, cameras automatically capture multiple images of the vehicle from different angles:
- Front view
- Back view
- Side view
- Top view
These images provide visual proof of every truck entry and exit.
Automatic Weight Capture
Once the truck stabilizes on the weighbridge, the system captures a final image of the digital weight display.
The captured image is then processed using object text detection (OCR technology) to automatically extract the weight value.
Intelligent Data Processing
The system automatically processes:
- Truck entry data
- Incoming raw material loads
- Outgoing material dispatch
All data is then stored securely in the cloud-based database.
Admin Monitoring Dashboard
To give the client full operational visibility, we developed a web-based Admin Panel. Admin dashboard allows the business owner and management team to monitor operations in real time.
Key Admin Features
Live Truck Entry Monitoring
Admins can see trucks entering or exiting the weighbridge in real time.
Image-Based Verification
Every truck record includes captured images that serve as proof of the transaction.
Incoming & Outgoing Load Tracking
The system tracks:
- Daily incoming material loads
- Daily outgoing material dispatch
Analytics and Operational Insights
Admins can view important operational metrics directly from the dashboard.
Data Import & Export
The system supports easy data import and export, enabling the business to generate reports for internal analysis and compliance purposes.
Key Features
Automated Truck Monitoring
Camera-based monitoring captures truck movements automatically without requiring manual input.
Image-Based Proof System
Multiple images are captured for each truck entry to ensure full transparency and accountability.
OCR-Based Weight Detection
The system uses object text detection technology to read the weight directly from the weighbridge display.
Cloud Data Storage
All records are securely stored in the cloud, making the system reliable and accessible from anywhere.
Real-Time Operational Dashboard
Management can monitor plant operations through a centralized admin dashboard.
Data Export and Reporting
Admins can export operational data for analysis, reporting, and record keeping.
