OMNIQ Wins Contract for New AI Vehicle Inspection Use Case
Contract award establishes a new hospitality use case for OMNIQ’s AI vehicle inspection technology
SALT LAKE CITY, March 02, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- OMNIQ CORP. (OTCMKTS: OMQS) (“OMNIQ” or “the Company”), a leading provider of AI-based computer vision solutions, announced the award of a new Proof of Concept (POC) contract for a new application of the Company’s AI vision technology. This project introduces a specialized AI-driven Machine Vision system designed to automate vehicle damage reporting, creating an objective source of truth for parking operators and guests.
In the hospitality and parking sectors, unverified damage claims can present a significant financial and operational burden. Companies may face payouts tied to pre-existing damage, along with reputational risk when customers and staff provide conflicting accounts of a vehicle’s condition. According to the National Parking Association, false or unverified damage claims can account for as much as 25 percent of a parking operator's unexpected annual costs, with manual investigations requiring extensive staff resources for each claim. The Company’s new solution mitigates these risks by creating a definitive visual record of every vehicle at the time of arrival and departure.
The Technology
The 360-degree vehicle inspection system combines high-accuracy vehicle recognition with automated damage documentation to help hospitality operators address disputed and potentially fraudulent claims using time-stamped visual evidence. Using an integrated network of sensors and AI controllers, the system captures a full view of each vehicle at entry and exit, with each passage automatically triggering a multi-camera event indexed to the license plate number.
The system uses 4K imagery designed to capture fine details, including minor scratches and dents, in high contrast lighting conditions. Linked entry and exit images allow staff to compare vehicle condition and review claims more efficiently using consistent visual documentation.
“This solution is built around clarity and consistency,” said Shai Lustgarten, CEO of OMNIQ Corp. “It is practical technology that allows operators to confirm what happened quickly and take action.”
Project Scope & Impact
The initial phase of this contract will equip four key lanes, including two entrances and exits, with 28 specialized damage inspection cameras. The 86-day deployment plan includes full system integration and a pilot launch to validate 100 percent image capture rates and at least 95 percent LPR accuracy.
By automating vehicle inspection at entry and exit, the system is designed to help hospitality operators review claims more efficiently, reduce liability-related costs, and provide clearer documentation for customers and staff.
