703 Hi-Tech Solutions (HTS), a specialist in the optical character recognition and computer vision systems market, has sold 120 licence plate recognition (LPR) systems for integration into an automatic parking system in Hong Kong. The systems were sold to HTS’s partner 5969 Access Control Systems (ACS), and will be integrated into the entire parking solution it is providing to Imperial Parking of Hong Kong, one of the leading parking operators who operate hundreds of car parks in Hong Kong.

It will also provide a centralised service solution for the many residents of Hong Kong with easy and accurate parking subscriptions and discounts in their areas of residence.
