License Plate Recognition SDK for On-Premise Systems

At Industrial Cortex (ICX), we provide a powerful and flexible License Plate Recognition SDK for companies that want to integrate plate recognition directly into their own software systems.

Our SDK is designed for on-premise deployments and gives developers the freedom to build their own applications while using our high-performance OCR and recognition engine in the background.

Whether your project is for highways, parking systems, residential sites, gated communities, or other traffic and security applications, our SDK can be integrated into your infrastructure with only a few function calls.

A Flexible SDK for Your Own Software

Many companies want to use license plate recognition technology inside their own existing platforms instead of purchasing a fixed end-user application. In these cases, an SDK-based approach provides much more flexibility.

With the ICX License Plate Recognition SDK, you can:

  • integrate plate recognition into your own software
  • build your own user interface
  • design your own reporting screens
  • manage your own database structure
  • create your own workflows and business rules
  • deploy the recognition engine on your own servers or edge systems

This gives software developers and system integrators full control over the final product while using our OCR engine as the core recognition layer.

Core Engine Built in C++ with ONNX Runtime

The core recognition engine of our SDK is developed in C++ and runs on ONNX Runtime.

This architecture provides important advantages for production-grade systems:

  • high performance
  • low latency
  • native execution
  • real-time suitability
  • efficient memory usage
  • strong deployment flexibility

Because the engine is built in C++, it is well suited for demanding computer vision environments where speed and reliability matter.

By using ONNX Runtime, the SDK can run modern deep learning models in an efficient and deployment-friendly way across different operating systems and hardware environments.

Runs on Windows, Linux, and ARM-Based Systems

Our SDK is designed to support multiple deployment environments.

It can run on:

  • Windows
  • Linux
  • ARM-based systems

This makes the solution suitable for a wide range of projects, from server-based deployments to compact edge devices.

Whether you are building a central traffic monitoring platform, an on-site parking solution, or an embedded gate control system, the SDK can be adapted to your target environment.

Call the Core Engine from Your Preferred Programming Language

One of the key advantages of the ICX SDK is that the C++ core engine can be called from different software environments.

You can integrate it from:

  • C#
  • Python
  • Java
  • C++
  • or other programming languages depending on your architecture

This allows your development team to keep using its preferred application stack while the recognition engine runs underneath as a high-performance native OCR backend.

In practice, this means you can develop your own frontend, business logic, reporting tools, and database modules in the language and framework of your choice, while our engine handles the plate recognition layer.

CPU and NVIDIA CUDA Support

The SDK supports both CPU-based execution and NVIDIA CUDA acceleration.

This gives you flexibility depending on your deployment scenario:

  • use CPU mode for lightweight or low-cost installations
  • use CUDA acceleration for higher throughput and faster processing in more demanding systems

This is especially important in projects involving:

  • multiple cameras
  • high traffic flow
  • real-time monitoring
  • server-based recognition systems
  • high-performance edge computing

With CUDA support, the SDK can take advantage of NVIDIA GPU hardware for improved speed and better runtime efficiency.

Easy Integration with Only a Few Function Calls

Our SDK is designed to be practical for integrators and software teams.

You do not need to build the OCR engine from scratch. Instead, you can integrate our recognition engine into your system using only a few function calls.

This makes it possible to:

  • send images or frames to the engine
  • receive plate recognition results
  • handle outputs in your own software logic
  • store results in your own database
  • display them in your own interface

This approach allows development teams to focus on the surrounding application while using a ready-to-integrate plate recognition core.

Ideal for Highways, Parking Systems, and Residential Sites

The ICX License Plate Recognition SDK can be used in many different projects, including:

Highway systems

For toll roads, roadside monitoring, traffic enforcement, and vehicle tracking applications.

Parking systems

For automated entry and exit control, visitor management, and parking analytics.

Residential sites and gated communities

For secure access control, whitelist and blacklist checking, and resident vehicle monitoring.

Commercial and industrial facilities

For logistics areas, warehouses, campuses, private security systems, and controlled access zones.

Because the SDK is deployment-flexible, it can fit both centralized and distributed architectures.

Build Your Own Interface, Reporting, and Database Layer

Our SDK focuses on the core OCR and recognition engine. This means you are free to build the rest of the application according to your own product requirements.

You can develop your own:

  • user interface
  • dashboards
  • alarm screens
  • reporting modules
  • database integration
  • API layer
  • cloud or on-premise workflow logic

In this model, your software becomes the visible product layer, while our OCR engine works underneath as the recognition core.

This is a strong model for:

  • software companies
  • system integrators
  • VMS integrators
  • parking automation companies
  • smart city platform providers
  • access control solution providers

Why SDK-Based Plate Recognition Makes Sense

For many organizations, an SDK is more valuable than a closed standalone application.

An SDK-based model offers:

  • easier integration into existing products
  • full control over UI and workflow design
  • better alignment with project-specific requirements
  • more flexibility for local deployment
  • easier adaptation to industry-specific systems
  • faster go-to-market for software teams

Instead of replacing your software stack, the ICX SDK becomes a high-performance recognition layer that fits into your current architecture.

Industrial Cortex SDK Approach

At Industrial Cortex, we focus on building practical and deployment-ready OCR technologies for real-world use.

Our License Plate Recognition SDK is designed to provide:

  • C++ core engine
  • ONNX Runtime-based inference
  • Windows, Linux, and ARM support
  • CPU and NVIDIA CUDA support
  • integration from C#, Python, Java, C++, and other languages
  • on-premise deployment capability
  • freedom to build your own frontend, reporting, and database systems

This makes the SDK suitable for both small and large-scale vehicle recognition projects.
