AI Vision Cameras & ANPR Systems for Smart Vehicle Detection

Before automation, the wheel alignment process required manual vehicle data entry, leading to inefficiencies and human errors across service bays:

• Data Mismatches: Operators mistyped or skipped vehicle registration entries.
• Workflow Delays: Manual registration caused congestion during peak service hours.
• Poor Traceability: Limited tracking and history of service records indexed by license plate.
• Integration Gaps: Lack of direct communication between the wheel aligner display and input systems.

SunBio IT Solutions implemented a custom ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) system integrated directly with Manatec's wheel aligner software, achieving instant vehicle recognition and system synchronization.

• High-Speed ANPR Camera: Captures license plates automatically as vehicles enter the alignment bay.
• Edge-Based Processing: On-premises AI recognition ensures low latency without cloud dependency.
• Smart Integration Module: Transfers decoded plate data directly to the wheel aligner display.
• Cross-Platform Compatibility: API-driven structure supports varied diagnostic machine interfaces.
• Offline Functionality: Operates reliably even without continuous internet connectivity.

• Camera Input Layer: HD ANPR camera streams live visual feeds to the local processing unit.
• Processing Engine: Edge AI model decodes license plate characters in real time.
• Integration Layer: Custom middleware bridges camera output and the aligner display software.
• Display Trigger: Automatically updates the UI with the correct vehicle identification profile.
