Challenge
Manual Vehicle Identification & Workflow Delays
Before automation, the wheel alignment process required manual vehicle data entry, leading to
inefficiencies and human errors:
- Operators mistyped or skipped entries, causing data mismatches.
- Manual registration caused workflow delays during peak service hours.
- Limited traceability of service records by license plate.
- Lack of integration between the wheel aligner display and input systems.
Solution
ANPR-Driven Real-Time Display Automation
SunBio IT Solutions implemented a custom ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) system
integrated directly with Manetec’s wheel aligner software, achieving instant vehicle recognition
and system sync.
- High-Speed ANPR Camera: Captures license plates as vehicles enter the
alignment bay.
- Edge-Based Processing: On-premises recognition ensures low latency and no
cloud dependency.
- Smart Integration Module: Transfers decoded plate data directly to the
wheel aligner display.
- Cross-Platform Compatibility: API-driven structure supports varied machine
interfaces.
- Offline Functionality: Works reliably even without continuous internet
connection.
System Architecture
Seamless Integration Between Hardware and Software
- Camera Input Layer: HD ANPR camera streams live feed to the processing
unit.
- Processing Engine: Edge AI model decodes license plate data in real time.
- Integration Layer: Middleware bridges camera output and the aligner
display.
- Display Trigger: Automatically updates the display with the correct vehicle
ID.
