ANPR cameras
Compatible with Honeywell, Hikvision, Milesight and most leading ANPR systems used in Indian plants.
Module 03 of 06 · Zentry Drive™
Vehicle, parking and ANPR.
Every vehicle traced. Every consignment matched.
Plate-recognition cameras at the gate read every vehicle and match it to the GST e-Way Bill in real time. Inbound logistics becomes traceable, parking becomes governed, tailgating becomes auditable. Built for the chaos of an Indian plant gate where 200 trucks, 80 contractor vehicles and 40 visitor cars arrive in the same morning.

What it does
Vehicle, parking and ANPR.
On a normal Monday morning at a Tier-1 auto plant in Chakan, 200 inbound trucks arrive between 06:00 and 11:00. Each truck carries an e-Way Bill that needs verification before unloading. Until Drive, the gate guard manually keyed in the plate, the driver handed over a printed e-Way Bill, the gate manager called accounts to verify, the truck waited. On a heavy day, the queue stretched out of the perimeter onto the public road.
Zentry Drive replaces that ritual with an ANPR camera that reads the plate at 60 km/h, matches it to the e-Way Bill in under 5 seconds, and either opens the boom or flags the mismatch for security. The driver does not get out of the cab. The gate manager does not call accounts. The truck either rolls in or gets parked aside. The audit trail is signed, timestamped, and exportable.
Drive at work in your plant:
- Inbound truck reaches the gate, ANPR reads the plate in 1.5 seconds.
- System matches against today's e-Way Bills, GRN expectations, vendor whitelist.
- If matched, boom opens automatically. If mismatched, security gets alert.
- Parking bay is allocated by vehicle category, driver gets SMS.
- Exit ANPR closes the loop, dwell time and chain-of-custody captured.
From 12-minute queue to 90 seconds. From paper book to signed audit log.

Who buys Drive™
The heads behind the buying decision.
Security HeadCSO / Plant Security
Pain: Tailgating, fake plates, vehicle gate-pass chaos. No real evidence trail.
Drive answer: ANPR every plate, watchlist match, signed audit log per vehicle event. Tailgating becomes auditable.
Logistics HeadInbound / Outbound Manager
Pain: Truck queues at the gate, e-Way Bill verification bottleneck, SLA breaches.
Drive answer: 5-second e-Way Bill match. Boom opens automatically for matched vehicles. Queue time drops 80 percent.
Plant HeadGM Operations / VP Plant
Pain: No visibility into inbound logistics performance. Vendor SLA reporting is a quarterly scramble.
Drive answer: Real-time dashboard. Daily inbound throughput. Vendor-wise SLA performance. Weekly board pack auto-generated.

Customer outcome
Anonymised composite story
12 min to 90 secInbound truck gate processing time
Pre-Drive, the Tier-1 auto component plant in Chakan had a chronic queue of inbound trucks stretching onto the highway every Monday morning. Drivers waited 12 minutes on average from gate arrival to boom-open. Post-Drive, ANPR reads the plate at approach, matches the e-Way Bill before the truck reaches the boom, and opens automatically for the 91 percent of vehicles that match. Average gate-processing time dropped to 90 seconds. Composite story drawn from real deployments. Industry, geography and metrics are representative.

Drive™ FAQ
Inspector questions, plainly answered.
How fast is the ANPR plate read?
Under 2 seconds from camera capture to plate decode. The e-Way Bill match adds another 2 to 3 seconds. Total time from approach to boom decision is under 5 seconds for matched vehicles.
Does Drive work with our existing ANPR cameras?
Yes. Drive is hardware-agnostic and integrates with Honeywell, Hikvision, Milesight and most leading ANPR brands used in Indian plants. You do not need to replace your cameras.
How accurate is the GST e-Way Bill matching?
In production deployments, match accuracy runs above 96 percent for clean inbound traffic. Mismatches typically come from operator data entry errors at the source vendor, not from Drive. Mismatches are flagged for security review rather than blocked outright.
Can Drive handle multiple gates and multiple parking zones?
Yes. Plants with multiple inbound, outbound, visitor, and emergency gates run on one Drive instance with per-gate configuration. Parking zones, bay capacity, and category rules configurable per zone.
Does Drive integrate with our SAP or Oracle ERP?
Yes. Drive exposes APIs for plate, e-Way Bill, GRN, and dwell time data. Native connectors available for SAP MM and Oracle Logistics. Custom integrations for in-house ERPs supported.
What if a truck arrives without an e-Way Bill in the system?
Drive flags it, displays the issue at the gate, and routes the decision to the configured authority (security, gate manager, or auto-deny by policy). The decision is logged with reason code for audit.
Does Drive run on-premise without internet?
Yes. Drive runs on Cloud, Hybrid Edge or fully air-gapped On-Premise. The ANPR processing happens at the edge, even on the Cloud tier, so connectivity loss does not stop gate operations.
What evidence does Drive produce for an IATF logistics audit?
Per-vehicle: plate, photo, driver KYC, e-Way Bill match record, in-time, out-time, parking bay, trailer chain-of-custody if applicable. All signed, tamper-evident, exportable as PDF, Excel or JSON. IATF assessors get the supplier inbound traceability pack in one export.
How it all connects
One event. Six audit narratives.
Every gate read, every kiosk submission, every certificate validation lands in a single tamper-evident, signed log. From that one event, six modules produce six distinct evidence trails, for six different audits, six different inspectors and six different heads inside the plant.
