09 May 2008

Appian has won three new contracts totalling £402,000 to install fixed site ANPR systems with two new commercial customers and a UK metropolitan police force.

The Company has won a £174,000 order for its ANPR technology to be used at a large shopping centre in the London area, where it will monitor and record all vehicle movement in all car-parks on this extensive retail site. Following a competitive tender process, Appian has also won a £123,000 contract from a large county council in the south of England, to install ANPR technology at the entrance to a number of local council household waste sites. The system, which works by recording all number plates at every site and then automatically alerting the site operators if a vehicle exceeds set visitor frequency limits, will be used to detect 'trade' abuse of council waste and refuse sites. Additionally, Appian has won a £105,000 order for nine of its recently developed Stinger intelligent ANPR cameras, which will be installed at fixed sites in a London borough and used by the police and other security agencies to monitor vehicle movement.

Appian Chairman Pat Ryan said, "These commercial orders represent new applications for our ANPR technology. This is an area where we are keen to consolidate and push further into as it represents a key growth opportunity. With two new excellent reference customers we hope that our technology will be as successfully taken up in the commercial arena as it has by the UK police, which continue to order additional equipment from us."
