Overview
The Uttar Pradesh Excise Department oversees distilleries such as Lord Distillery (Ghazipur) and Aarti Distillery (Kanpur), each moving 70–100 vehicles a day. A statewide mandate required ANPR at entry/exit and weighbridge points, with Stellarview's solution chosen after a successful pilot.
The challenge
- Manual gate logging prone to error, forgery, and gaps
- Unverified weigh in/out cycles tied to material and excise risk
- No reliable image or timestamp trail for investigations
The solution
ANPR cameras sit at main-gate entry/exit and inbound/outbound weighbridges. Plate reads and vehicle images flow over API into weighbridge software, then into Excise systems, so gate passes issue only for validated vehicles with a complete audit trail.
Impact
- Pilot at Avadh Sugar & Energy met evaluation criteria with stronger compliance
- Tamper-resistant validation at every checkpoint
- Traceability aligned with IESCMS and statewide mandate requirements
Conclusion
Stellarview ANPR gave UP distilleries and Excise a shared, evidence-backed record of every vehicle movement, from gate to weighbridge and back out.
