Salt Lake City, UT, June 22, 2020, —OMNIQ, Inc. (OTCQB:OMQS) (“OMNIQ”or “the Company”), announces that it has received a follow-on order to upgrade the access control and parking system at La Sierra University in Riverside, California with the new PERCS system the Company acquired with its acquisition of the assets of Eyepax USA.
Based on OMNIQ’s AI-Machine Vision technology, PERCS improves safety and provides a wide range of operational benefits, including: seamless account management for users, increased efficiency and time management for operators, as well as enhanced revenue generation and elevated customer satisfaction levels. The system incorporates parking access and revenue enforcement capabilities within a single platform, using Machine Vision vehicle recognition technology, allowing the administrator to manage lanes and track revenue from one web portal, using a dashboard for the monitoring of all activity and transactions for visitors and transient parkers. PERCS enables the virtual management of permitting, citations, occupancy and access control, enhancing efficiencies and safety for customers including municipalities, universities, medical centers and public parking operations across the U.S.
Shai Lustgarten, CEO of OMNIQ commented: “This order follows the recently announced selection of PERCS by the city of San Mateo, California and the selection of our Quest Shield™ solution by the Talmudic Academy in Baltimore, demonstrating growing market recognition of the benefits of our AI-Machine Vision based technology. We’re pleased to have this opportunity to work with La Sierra University. We believe the University’s decision to install the PERCS platform demonstrates their confidence in our capabilities and their recognition of the value added by our state-of-the-art solutions for permitting and enforcement, access control and automated parking. Our Machine Vision technology is implemented for public safety on school campuses, parking management and control as well as in sensitive areas for homeland security purposes.”
“We are excited about the momentum we are seeing in the public safety/smart city market, which we believe represents a significant potential for growth in revenue and profitability. Our solutions provide value in a variety of applications and we remain focused on continuing to innovate and leverage our AI-Machine Vision capabilities to meet the changing demands of our growing Public Safety, Automation of Parking and Supply Chain verticals and our broad customer base including many Fortune 500 customers,” Mr. Lustgarten concluded.
