Mission

A global automotive supplier.
Tracking every vehicle, in real time.

Valeo Lighting Injection SA began production in Romania in September 2005. In ten years, the Timiș County industrial park grew to 39 000 square meters, employing over 1 400 people who produce headlights, fog lamps, stop lights, and truck headlights for the world's largest automotive brands.

The industrial park encompasses a warehouse, a production area, and office spaces — and it is divided into three categories: service market (AFM), special products (SP), and original equipment (OEM). Valeo is among the top automotive suppliers globally, with 12.7 billion euros in sales in 2014.

Every day, hundreds of vehicles enter the park: employee cars, delivery trucks, distribution buses, taxis, and more. The company needed a way to track all this movement, record how often certain vehicles visit, monitor how long trucks and cars stay on site, and measure loading times for trucks.

Crucially, Valeo required all information to be available in real time and fully automated — not just end-of-day reports or a operator watching screens all day.

Solution

Two cameras.
Intelligent, real-time alerts.

Metrici's alarm system was the perfect fit for Valeo's needs. The administrator configured multiple alert types based on how long a vehicle remained inside the industrial park: 15 minutes, 3 hours, 12 hours, and blacklist — each with its own notification group.

Each alarm type corresponds to a dedicated vehicle group. For example, if a car registered in the 15-minute group stays longer than a quarter of an hour, an email alert is sent to the administrator.

Every vehicle entering the park is automatically added to the 12-hour group, so an email notification is sent each time a car remains in the parking for more than 12 hours. The blacklist feature is equally important: when a license plate on that list is detected, Metrici immediately sends an alert to the administrator.

      Real-time, not retrospective. Valeo's system delivers instant notifications — no waiting for end-of-day reports. Every vehicle is tracked from entry to exit, with automated email alerts triggered the moment a predefined condition is met.

Results and Benefits

Real-time visibility.
Automated alerts at every threshold.

The Valeo installation delivers continuous, automated vehicle monitoring — with instant email alerts for every configured condition. The system was chosen by the integrator after a side-by-side comparison proved its superior recognition accuracy.

⏱️

Time-based alarm groups

Three configurable thresholds — 15 minutes, 3 hours, and 12 hours — ensure that vehicles exceeding their expected stay trigger immediate email alerts to the administrator.

🚫

Blacklist detection

Any vehicle on the blacklist is instantly detected and triggers an immediate email notification — ensuring unauthorized vehicles are flagged in real time.

📊

Real-time vehicle intelligence

Complete visibility into vehicle movement: entry and exit times, duration of stay, frequency of visits, and loading times — all available instantly, not at end of day.

🏆

Proven recognition accuracy

The integrator selected Metrici after testing a competitor's demo and finding it unreliable. Metrici's superior plate recognition accuracy won the project on its first real-world evaluation.

The Valeo installation demonstrates how a focused LPR solution with intelligent alarm management can provide complete vehicle tracking and real-time operational visibility for large industrial sites.
