2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Innovative Control
Systems® (ICS), a brand of OPW Vehicle Wash Solutions

of the new AI-LPR technology are truly milestones in the industry,
and we are confident that customers using this next generation
technology will be able to quickly, easily and safely optimize the
overall wash experience for wash-club members."
The Auto Passport LPR system offers many benefits for vehicle
wash operators, including cutting-edge machine-learning technology,
automated club-member signup and transaction processing, an
optimized vehicle wash experience with no attendant involvement
needed and the ability to track club members' usage patterns aimed
at better understanding buying and washing habits.
