Analytics for crime control

KNOXVILLE, USA: PIPS Technology, Inc. has entered into an exclusive agreement with Intuidex, Inc. to bring analytics to the public safety License Plate Recognition (LPR) market.

The PIPS-Intuidex partnership, as a press release puts, promises substantial investigative and alerting benefits, enabling agencies to identify critical patterns and threats beyond simple search functions.

The combined efforts of these technology companies enable integration of Intuidex’s Watchman Analytics with PIPS’ Back Office System Software (BOSS), an industry first.

"PIPS will be integrating Watchman Analytics with its BOSS platform for use in a major metropolitan infrastructure protection project. The project includes multiple agencies, locations and over 200 strategically deployed fixed LPR cameras in early 2012. We are delighted to be partnering with best-in-class PIPS Technology to advance the state of the art in LPR analytics,” said Dr. William Pottenger, Ph.D. “The combination of PIPS leading-edge LPR technology with Intuidex’s advanced analytics is an unbeatable solution for LPR investigations and real-time crime alerting."

“We are excited about the opportunity to work with Dr. Pottenger and Intuidex,” said Tim O’Leary, PIPS’s Vice President and General Manager. “With deep knowledge and experience in data analytics, Intuidex is clearly an industry leader with numerous analytics engagements including law enforcement, the National Institute of Justice, the Department of Defense as well as the Department of Homeland Security. This partnership is a huge win for departments that seek to expand their investigative and alerting use of LPR data in a more cost-effective manner than what is available on the market today.”
