The Real Challenges in Traditional Sand Mining

Manual processes, fragmented controls, and lack of real-time visibility create serious risks across sand mining sites.

Illegal & Unauthorized Loading

Manual supervision makes it easy for unauthorized vehicles to get loaded without proper records.

Duplicate Tokens & Misuse

Paper or loosely managed tokens can be reused, manipulated, or backdated.

Weighbridge Manipulation

Manual weight capture allows overloading, under-reporting, and quantity mismatch.

Revenue Leakage

Mismatch between loading, challan, and dispatch leads to loss of government and lease revenue.

Audit & Vigilance Risk

Incomplete or inconsistent records fail during audits, inspections, and vigilance checks.

No Real-Time Visibility

Authorities lack live insight into vehicle movement, loading status, and dispatch activity.

Why Traditional Sand Mining Processes No Longer Work

Paper-based records and fragmented tools cannot support compliance, scalability, and real-time operational control.

Traditional System

(Paper, Registers & Manual Control)

Paper-based tokens and registers prone to loss and manipulation

Manual supervision dependent on trust and verbal confirmation

High risk of duplicate entries, backdated records, and token misuse

Manual weighment entries allow overloading and quantity mismatch

Delayed reporting with no real-time visibility

Weak audit trail and high vigilance exposure

Digital Control System (SMMS)

(Automated, Secure & Compliant)

Unique, time-stamped digital tokens with full traceability

System-driven approvals with role-based access

End-to-end stage locking across loading, weighbridge, and exit

Automated validation of permissible weights and quantities

Real-time dashboards and live operational visibility

Compliance-ready reports with complete audit trails

How the Sand Mining Management System Works

A stage-wise digital workflow that enforces control from riverbed entry to exit authorization.

Step 01

Vehicle Token Entry (Riverside Counter)

Vehicle details are digitally entered at the riverside token counter. The system generates a unique, time-stamped digital token after validating vehicle permissions and permissible weight limits from master data.

Step 02

Loading Supervisor Authentication

The loading supervisor logs in using a secure mobile application with Face Authentication. GPS-based location verification ensures the supervisor is physically present at the correct loading point.

Step 03

Digital Loading Confirmation

Sand loading is digitally authorized by the supervisor. Loading time and quantity are recorded, and the system validates loading against permissible limits before proceeding.

Step 04

Challan Entry & Verification

The loaded vehicle returns to the challan entry point. The system verifies token validity, loading confirmation, and timestamps before automatically generating a digital challan.

Step 05

Road Challan & Dispatch Approval

A road challan is issued with a QR / unique verification code. Route, destination, and validity are digitally mapped to prevent misuse or forgery of the permit during transit.

Step 06

Exit Gate Automation

At the exit gate, the vehicle is verified through challan scanning. Weight, time, and compliance checks are performed before the system allows vehicle exit.

Digital Control at Every Critical Mining Checkpoint

The system enforces stage-wise verification and locking at each operational point — ensuring that no vehicle, load, or document moves without authorization.

Sand Mining Loading Point
Checkpoint 01

Loading Point Control

At the loading point, only vehicles with valid digital tokens are allowed to load. Loading is authorized through a supervisor’s mobile app after identity and location verification.

Control Achieved:
  • Prevents illegal or duplicate loading
  • Ensures supervisor accountability
  • Locks loading data digitally
Industrial Weighbridge Operation
Checkpoint 02

Weighbridge Control

At the weighbridge, vehicle weight is digitally captured and validated against permissible limits. The system locks the final weight and directly links it to stock and dispatch records.

Control Achieved:
  • Prevents weight manipulation and overloading
  • Ensures quantity accuracy
  • Protects revenue and stock integrity
Digital Challan Counter
Checkpoint 03

Counter & Challan Control

At the counter, challans are generated only after verifying loading and weight confirmation. Each challan is digitally linked to vehicle, quantity, destination, and lease details.

Control Achieved:
  • Eliminates manual challan errors
  • Prevents challan duplication and misuse
  • Maintains commercial and legal consistency
Exit Gate Validation
Checkpoint 04

Exit Gate Control

At the exit gate, vehicles are verified through challan scanning and compliance checks. Only vehicles that have completed all prior stages are allowed to exit.

Control Achieved:
  • Enforces one-time exit authorization
  • Prevents unauthorized dispatch
  • Completes the digital audit trail
Heavy Machinery Monitoring
Operational Unit

Machine & Fuel Control

Heavy machinery operations are tracked through dedicated mobile applications. Meter readings, fuel usage, and shift data are digitally recorded and reconciled.

Control Achieved:
  • Prevents fuel pilferage
  • Tracks actual machine utilization
  • Improves operational cost control

Simple, Role-Based Mobile Apps for Every On-Ground Role

Each employee sees only what they need to perform their assigned duty — nothing more, nothing less.

All activities are strictly linked to active shifts and assigned roles. Operators cannot perform actions outside their authorized duty period.

Compliance Value: Prevents unauthorized entries; ensures staff accountability.

GPS, Location & Image-Based Proof

Critical actions such as loading, verification, and exit are backed by GPS-verified location data and image evidence.

Compliance Value: Provides physical proof; eliminates proxy or remote manipulation.

Secure Cancellation & Exception Handling

Token cancellations and exceptions follow a controlled approval workflow with digital records, reason capture, and alerts.

Compliance Value: Prevents misuse of powers; maintains transparency.
