UVeye plans to unveil an industry-leading vehicle-inspection system based on deep-learning technology that can identify even the smallest exterior defects on any vehicle within seconds. Atlas 360-degree quality-control system The company’s Atlas 360-degree quality-control system will be shown for the first time in North America at CES 2020 in Las Vegas next month. The UVeye system uses multiple high-resolution cameras to capture exterior assembly defects, post-production damage, missing components, and other quality-related issues. Atlas generates thousands of images per second at multiple angles to detect scratches or dents as small as two millimetres in diameter. AI-driven vehicle inspection systems UVeye’s AI-driven vehicle inspection systems will help our manufacturing partners to work more efficiently" “We are excited to present our collaboration with Honda at this year’s CES. UVeye’s AI-driven vehicle inspection systems will help our manufacturing partners to work more efficiently, augmenting their human capabilities to produce vehicles faster without compromising on quality standards,” says UVeye’s CEO Amir Hever. “Taking part in the Honda Xcelerator program is just the latest step in what we hope will be a long and productive relationship with the manufacturing industry.” Deep-learning technology “Our new deep-learning technology will dramatically change how car makers, their suppliers, dealers, and major fleet operators inspect vehicles,” said Amir Hever. “We currently are working with several vehicle manufacturers to provide inspection systems on assembly lines and at dealerships around the world.” Vehicle automation system Amir noted that the company’s proprietary algorithms, ML allow it to automatically check vehicle systems Amir noted that the company’s proprietary algorithms, cloud architecture, sensor fusion, artificial intelligence, and machine-learning technologies allow it to automatically check vehicle chassis components, suspension systems, sheet metal, and tires within seconds. This collaboration with Honda marks UVeye’s sixth partnership with a major automotive OEM. Investments in inspection systems The company has raised more than $35 million in investment capital to begin the deployment of inspection systems at Volvo, Skoda, Daimler, and Toyota. UVeye’s deep-learning technology was initially developed for the security industry to detect weapons, explosives, illegal drugs, and other contraband. UVeye's exhibit at CES 2020 will be in the North Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center [Booth 3116].

UVeye’s global team is rapidly expanding and so is the innovative product line. Recently, it officially announced the launch of the Atlas Lite which is designed to complement the Helios and Artemis in dealerships and more commonly-sized service bays. However, the Atlas Lite will make its official public debut at the National Auto Dealer Association conference in Las Vegas Nevada.  360-degree imaging capabilities When it came to unveiling the Atlas Lite, there seemed to be no better place than NADA 2022. With 360-degree imaging capabilities and the ability to identify dents, scratches, and other surface damage, the Atlas Lite makes the perfect companion to the Helios underbody scanner and the Artemis tire scanner. Even when a dealership installs all three devices, the footprint of the combined setup fits perfectly within the service lane. And that was the main goal of the Atlas Lite: to be dealership-friendly. Vehicle scanning and identifying Atlas Lite uses multiple strategically placed cameras to take photographs of the vehicle for online resale  Not only does the Atlas Lite scan the exterior of a vehicle, and identify and highlight surface damage and paint blemishes, but it also uses multiple strategically placed cameras to take photographs of the vehicle for online resale.  As part of a preliminary field test in the second half of 2021, UVeye installed an Atlas Lite at Volvo Cars Princeton dealership in New Jersey. How did the Atlas Lite perform in the real world? Well, the General Sales Manager Michael Battaglia describes it as a “success” for the sales and service department. Expanding customer reach “When customers drive it through our service lane, drop off their car and take their loaner car, the sales department doesn’t even have a chance to talk to them.” Battaglia continued, “but we can see their car is scanned and identify the year, make, and model. Based on the vehicle report, we’ll see if they’re interested in trading up. And we’ve had quite a bit of success doing that as well.” Battaglia also noted his dealership was able to expand its reach as well. When customers call from hundreds of miles away, they can see detailed condition reports like never before. “It helps us be more competitive as a small dealership.”
