Solution

License Plate Recognition

Technology engineered to accurately identify and record vehicle license plates in real time.

License Plate Recognition System for Real-World Deployments

At Industrial Cortex (ICX), we build License Plate Recognition systems for real operational environments — highways, parking systems, logistics facilities, industrial zones, municipal platforms and law enforcement — where performance, stability and real-time response matter every day.

Reading plate characters is the easy part. A high-value ANPR system must also understand the context around the plate — the country, the vehicle, the site — which is why our platform goes beyond standard OCR and delivers 97–99% accuracy in production deployments.

Capabilities

What Our License Plate Recognition System Can Do

Recognized license plates from many countries

License Plate Recognition

Reads plates on moving vehicles in real time — multiple plates per frame, across as many cameras as your site needs, from single images or live video. High accuracy across national plate formats.

Plate Country Classification: The Context That Makes OCR Smarter

Every read can include the plate’s country. Foreign plates stay accurate, searchable and correctly reported — essential at borders, ports, toll corridors and anywhere cross-border traffic is routine.

country-aware OCR

Real license plates in different colors — white, yellow, blue, red and green plate groups

Plate Color Classification

The plate number alone is not enough. Plate color distinguishes vehicle groups — taxis, official vehicles, commercial fleets — enabling filtering, verification, reporting and rule-based access control.

Vehicle with recognized plate, make, type and color

Vehicle Make, Type, and Color Recognition

For municipality, security and law enforcement projects, the plate is only part of the requirement. The platform also recognizes vehicle make, type and color, producing a complete event record for search, reporting and verification.

Field proof

License Plate Recognition That Works in the Field

Reading a plate in a clean sample image is easy. Reading it reliably in the real world is different. Our systems are built for the conditions cameras actually face — and for sites that cannot afford downtime.

Accuracy that holds in the field

97–99% in production deployments — measured on real sites, not lab benchmarks.

Reliable around the clock

Sites run 24/7, and so does the system: stable operation across many cameras with predictable performance.

Fast enough for gates and barriers

Real-time reads with low response times — ready for entry automation, tolling and enforcement.

For Developers

SDK Support for Integrators and Software Companies

Embed the recognition engine in your own product. The C++ core ships as an SDK with C#, Python, Java and C++ APIs, runs fully on-premise inside your infrastructure, and comes with integration support and technical documentation. You build the UI, reporting and workflow logic — the engine does the reading.
