AI To Monitor Vehicles At Mid-East Borders

AI sensors that cross-reference vehicles crossing borders with national watchlists are to be rolled out in the Middle East.

Israel-founded OMNIQ did not specify which countries are to start using its software, which captures the license plate, make, model and vehicle color, to cross-reference against permits, watch lists, and law enforcement hot lists. 

It will give automatic entry to registered vehicles and visitors, deny any revoked or unwanted vehicles, and automatically contact law enforcement for assistance in emergencies.

OMNIQ offers its AI for a variety of data collection and surveillance services – from protecting schools and universities, to providing parking solutions using license plate recognition. 

“We have a long history of deploying our AI technology to the most sensitive and demanding authorities in the world,” said Shai Lustgarten, CEO of OMNIQ.

“With these additional deployments, we are now at the San Diego-Mexico, Texas-Mexico, Canada-Alaska, Israel-Jordan and in the Far East borders, lending further proof that our technology is trusted where it matters most, protecting human beings around the globe.

“The momentum in the market acceptance for our AI based solution continues with our recent wins in both additional airports and cities in the US bringing our total airports to 57 and our total cities to 17 and growing,” 

More than 17,000 of its AI-based sensors are installed worldwide, including approximately 7,000 in the US.

OMNIQ’s customers include government agencies and leading Fortune 500 companies. Since 2014, its annual revenues have grown to more than $78 million from clients in the USA and abroad. 

OMNIQ was founded in 1974, and is based in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA.
