Annual Awards Program Recognizes Innovation in Automotive and Transportation Technologies Around the Globe
MARKHAM, ON, Oct. 4, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- BL Innovare, a trusted name in touchless vehicle inspection technologies, today announced that BODYGUARD has been singled out for the "Fleet Management Innovation of the Year" award in the fourth annual AutoTech Breakthrough Awards conducted by AutoTech Breakthrough, a leading market intelligence organization that recognizes the top companies, technologies, and products in the global automotive and transportation technology markets today.
BODYGUARD from BL Innovare helps any operation working with vehicles autonomously document pre-existing condition. BODYGUARD fits seamlessly into nearly any application indoors or outdoors with minimal space allocation. The solution utilizes 20,000 Lumens of LED lighting timed to capture thousands of 360-degree vehicle images on a three to five second drive through.
Using smart sensors and ALPR, (Automatic License Plate Recognition) technology, each vehicle passing through BODYGUARD's towers gets placed into an inspection record for easy search retrieval by license plate or date and time for each visit up to 12 months later. Users can also download still frames and video documentation of the vehicle in question.
BODYGUARD has an open API making it easy to integrate into current software systems for increased flexibility and ease of use, and often requires no changes in workflow process. In addition to fleet use cases, Automotive Dealerships, Auto Repair Facilities, Car Rental hubs, Parking Garages, and Car Washes also benefit from BODYGUARD.
"We're extremely honored to receive the 'Fleet Management Innovation of the Year' award from AutoTech Breakthrough. We have worked hard to make sure that BODYGUARD serves as an affordable yet advanced solution, for fleet companies to track the condition of their vehicles," said BL Innovare's CEO Carol Kilner. "Maintaining fleets and consistently documenting their condition costs time and has previously been more complex than it needs to be. BODYGUARD has proven itself to be an adept partner in the field by reducing complaints, mitigating damage claim risks, automating fleet vehicle condition documentation, and improving overall fleet operations."
The mission of the annual AutoTech Breakthrough Awards program is to conduct the industry's most comprehensive analysis and evaluation of automotive and transportation technology categories, including Connected Car, Electric Vehicles, Engine Tech, Automotive CyberSecurity, Sensor Technology, Traffic Tech and many more. This year's program attracted more than 1,600 nominations from over 15 different countries throughout the world. "BODYGUARD provides certainty and consistency in the vehicle documentation process. Both customers and businesses now have an opportunity to change the discussion from blame placing and finger pointing to opportunities for discussion and possible additional services," said Bryan Vaughn, Managing Director of AutoTech Breakthrough Awards. "Prior to BODYGUARD, existing condition documenting methods involved manual efforts, security type cameras or expensive tunnel-based systems that required significant infrastructure, space, and capital. BODYGUARD is designed to protect both businesses and their customers."
