Utilizing machine learning, customers can experience up to 99.9% LPR accuracy.
Innovative Control Systems® (ICS), Bethlehem, PA, a recognized industry leader in vehicle wash payment-terminal, wash-management system and license-plate recognition (LPR) technology, and a product brand of OPW Vehicle Wash Solutions (OPW VWS), is excited to announce the introduction and availability of its new AI-LPR solution.
The new AI-LPR is an upgrade to the existing ICS Auto Passport LPR product, which is an LPR solution that simplifies license-plate recognition for vehicle wash club members through a seamless, contactless enrollment process that helps enhance operational efficiency and customer satisfaction. The upgraded AI-LPR solution features machine-learning capabilities that can result in up to 99.9% accurate license-plate recognition, all without the need to add costly camera hardware or system-upgrade expenses. Additionally, all new Auto Passport LPR systems that are sold to the market beginning in March will have the AI-LPR solution built in. In some cases where older models are being used, a new LPR PC will be required.
“The goal when implementing any new vehicle wash payment technology is to ensure that it has actual real-world benefits for wash operators and their customers,” said Kevin Ahnert, General Manager of ICS. “The built-in capabilities of the new AI-LPR technology platform are truly milestones in the industry, and we are confident that those who choose to deploy this next-generation technology will be able to quickly, easily, safely and securely optimize the overall wash experience for wash-club members.”
The Auto Passport LPR system offers many benefits for vehicle wash operators, including the use of cutting-edge LPR machine-learning technology that automates club-member signup and transaction processing, the creation of an optimized vehicle wash experience with no attendant involvement needed and the ability to track club members’ usage patterns, which helps operators better understand the buying and washing habits of their customers.
The ICS Customer Support team will contact legacy Auto Passport LPR users with a valid support contract to schedule a free, easy upgrade to the AI-LPR solution. The updates will be completed during the day and could require up to an hour without access to the LPR system.
