UVeye, a company specializing in automated drive-through inspection systems for vehicles using computer vision and artificial intelligence, has formed a strategic partnership with Hypertec, a provider of sustainable technology solutions. This collaboration aims to facilitate the mass production of UVeye’s systems, meeting the increasing demand from various automotive industry sectors, including car dealerships, auctions and fleets.
The partnership was announced as companies like General Motors Co., Volvo Cars and CarMax gain interest, the company said. Additionally, UVeye has recently teamed up with Amazon for inspection systems at numerous locations across the United States, Canada, Germany and the United Kingdom, focusing on Amazon Prime’s last-mile delivery operations.
Production of the systems will be conducted at Hypertec’s facilities in Plainfield, Indiana, and Montréal, Canada. The collaboration underscores a commitment to both advanced technology and sustainable practices, Uveye said.
UVeye offers three primary inspection systems: Helios, an underbody scanner; Artemis, a tire inspection system; and Atlas, along with its variant Atlas Lite, a 360-degree vehicle exterior detection system. These systems are designed to rapidly and accurately detect a range of vehicle issues, from underbody damage and tire wear to exterior imperfections.
Amir Hever, co-founder and CEO of UVeye, expressed his excitement about the partnership. He said since its North American debut at CES 2020, it has grown with plans to expand production. Hever said Uyeye’s system can detect 96 percent of vehicle problems quickly.
Simon Ahdoot, president of hardware technology solutions at Hypertec, said the alignment between the two companies on innovation and large-scale manufacturing capabilities will enhance UVeye’s ability to deliver advanced automotive solutions.
