UVeye has developed contact-free, emergency-vehicle inspection systems equipped with thermal sensors that not only can detect critical vehicle-safety problems, but also can identify drivers and passengers with fevers through vehicle windshields.
UVeye is offering to equip health-related fleet operators with vehicle-inspection equipment on a not-for-profit basis during the current COVID-19 crisis.
Ambulance and police fleets, as well as delivery services for food and medical equipment, all would be eligible for assistance.
Maintaining vehicles in operating condition
“Our technology can help fleet operators maintain their vehicles in safe operating condition without the need for hands-on testing or inspection,” said Amir Hever, UVeye’s Co-Founder and CEO.
“As crisis conditions ease, we also will be able to assist car dealers, independent garages and vehicle rental agencies in setting up inspection lanes that can ensure that their mechanics are not exposed to individuals that still might be infected with the virus.”
Hever added that UVeye hoped its vehicle-inspection technology could assist federal, state and local government officials who are attempting to speed up the process of identifying people infected by the COVID-19 virus.
IR thermal-imaging technology
UVeye's vehicle-inspection system help health-care professionals identify individuals who require COVID-19 tests or treatment Equipped with infrared thermal-imaging technology to detect body temperatures from a distance of several meters or more, a UVeye vehicle-inspection system could help health-care professionals rapidly identify individuals who might require additional COVID-19 testing or treatment.
Vehicle-inspection systems equipped with thermal sensors, for example, could be installed at emergency drive-through lanes set up at hospitals, health care facilities and other community locations to test for potential coronavirus victims.
Contactless inspection system
Hever said that his company is prepared to help equip drive-through checkpoints in critical locations throughout the United States within the next week, adding that UVeye already has orders for the installation of contactless inspection systems with thermal sensor technology at several locations in both the UK and the U.S.
Recognition
UVeye is known throughout the world for the development of artificial intelligence systems to identify threats at security checkpoints and border crossings (UVIS), as well as to detect vehicle quality issues at dealerships and on new-car assembly lines.
Headquarters and range
With headquarters in Stamford, Connecticut, and Tel Aviv, UVeye currently is working with six major carmakers to install vehicle-inspection systems on assembly lines and at dealerships around the world.
The UVeye executive noted that the company’s inspection equipment also can identify a wide variety of need-to-know mechanical problems and safety-related issues for vehicle owners.
Artemis system and UVIS
UVeye’s Helios (UVIS) underbody-inspection cameras can identify a wide range of safety issues
The company’s Artemis system, for example, automatically checks tire quality.
And UVeye’s Helios (UVIS) underbody-inspection cameras can identify a wide range of safety issues (UVIS), including brake line problems and potentially dangerous oil leaks.
Atlas and Helios technology
The company’s Atlas and Helios vehicle-inspection technology was shown for the first time in North America earlier this year at CES 2020 in Las Vegas.
In addition to its own exhibit, UVeye’s technology also was featured in Honda’s CES display as part of the car company’s Xcelerator program designed to encourage new and transformative technology.
Deep learning
Originally developed for the security industry to detect weapons, explosives, illegal drugs and other contraband, UVeye’s deep-learning technology is deployed globally at hundreds of high-security locations.
