Founded in 2016 by Amir Hever, CEO, UVeye offers automated vehicle-inspection systems based on advanced artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies for both the automotive and homeland security industries.

UVeye systems utilize a combination of proprietary algorithms, cloud architecture, artificial intelligence, machine learning and sensor fusion technologies.  The company’s drive-through systems can detect any external or mechanical flaw and identify anomalies, modifications or foreign objects from under and from any side of a vehicle. The scanning process completes within a matter of seconds and can be used throughout a vehicle’s lifecycle. The technology originally was developed for the security industry to detect weapons and contraband. It is now also used in the auto industry to detect a wide variety of quality issues, including oil leaks, paint scratches, tire damage, brake-line damage and exhaust-system problems.

The company currently has facilities in North America, Europe and the Asia Pacific region, including offices in Israel, Japan, Germany and the U.S. and 100 employees.
