Dover Corporation DOV announced that its subsidiary Innovative Control Systems, a brand of OPW Vehicle Wash Solutions, launched an AI-powered license-plate recognition (LPR) solution. This move will improve operational efficiency and satisfaction for Dover’s customers.
DOV’s New AI-LPR Benefits Vehicle Wash Operators
The new AI-LPR, which is an upgrade to the existing ICS Auto Passport LPR product, offers up to 99.9% accurate license plate recognition. It limits the need for costly camera hardware or system upgrades. The upgrade simplifies license-plate recognition for vehicle wash club members through a hassle-free, contactless enrollment process.
This next-generation technology does not require attendant involvement. Its cutting-edge machine-learning solution can track club members' usage patterns to better understand their buying and washing habits.
Dover’s Focus on Innovation
DOV will gain from product digitization, e-commerce, product development and investment in core business platforms. The company is focused on investments in capacity expansions in high-growth businesses and productivity improvements across its portfolio.
It continues to execute restructuring programs to better align the costs and operations with current market conditions through targeted facility consolidations, headcount reductions and other measures, which will support the company’s margins.
