Following Pilot Results Ohio Hospital Network Expands OMNIQ AI To Additional Campuses
OMNIQ Expands AI Machine Vision Access Control Integration Across Major Hospital Network, Based in Ohio
SALT LAKE CITY, Feb. 17, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- OMNIQ CORP. (OTCMKTS: OMQS) (“OMNIQ” or “the Company”), a leading provider of AI-based computer vision solutions, announced the continued expansion of its AI parking and access control platform across the Ohio-based Hospital Network, following successful operations at the Main Campus and Fairview Campus.
The deployment centers on an integration between the Company’s permitting and access control system, PERCS, and the hospital’s local parking control system provided by WPS, enabling unified management of parking access for employees and non-employees across campus facilities. The platform processes an average of approximately 1,500 files per day, reflecting the scale of daily credential activity required to keep access consistent across locations. User profiles and badge records are imported from the hospital's Human Resources and campus employee badging systems to keep permit decisions tied to authorized identity.
OMNIQ supports vehicle access for a large campus network by tying permit issuance and garage access to verified identity and vehicle identification. Parking agents confirm badge authorization, assign an access package based on approved locations, and the system creates or updates the access control record using the badge identification number. In parallel, OMNIQ machine vision sensors capture vehicle identifiers at entry and exit points to help validate parking activity against active permits.
The workflow supports adding, updating, and deleting multiple credential types under a single user profile. Daily HR imports and real-time badging updates help keep access records current, supported by weekly reconciliation to flag mismatches early and help keep badge and vehicle identification records aligned.
“Healthcare campuses run at a high pace, so parking access must also,” said Shai Lustgarten, CEO at OMNIQ Corp. “Our solutions connect identity, permitting, and garage access so that policies stay consistent across campuses. We appreciate the opportunity to expand this work following the success at Main and Fairview.”
The expansion positions one of the world’s largest health systems to standardize parking access and compliance workflows as it scales across additional campuses, with PERCS serving as the operational layer connecting identity, permitting, and garage access. By keeping HR and badging data synchronized, updating access in real time, supporting payroll deduction reporting, and using LPR monitoring at Fairview to flag unauthorized parking, the deployment is designed to reduce credential gaps and improve consistency across facilities as traffic demands grow.
