Overview

Instantly Extract License Plate Data with this AI Agent

This n8n AI agent automates extracting license plate numbers from images. Upload an image of a vehicle, and the agent uses advanced vision AI models (e.g., GPT-4o accessed via OpenRouter) to identify and return the plate characters. Perfect for saving time on manual data entry.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Leverages powerful vision-language models (e.g., GPT-4o) through OpenRouter for accurate plate detection.
  • User-friendly image upload via a simple web form.
  • Flexible: Connects to OpenRouter, giving you access to a variety of LLMs.
  • Outputs just the license plate characters, clean and ready for your next step.
  • Customize the AI's instructions (prompt) and model choice directly in n8n.

Use Cases

  • Automate vehicle entry/exit logging for parking management.
  • Streamline inventory updates for car dealerships by capturing plate info from photos.
  • Speed up data collection for security or compliance checks involving vehicle identification.
  • Build custom tools for local traffic analysis or community watch programs.

Prerequisites

  • An n8n instance (Cloud or self-hosted).
  • An OpenRouter API Key with access to a vision-capable LLM (e.g., OpenAI's GPT-4o is used by default).
  • Ensure n8n Langchain nodes are available in your instance.

Setup Instructions

  1. Download the workflow JSON file.
  2. Import it into your n8n instance.
  3. In the 'OpenRouter LLM' node, select your OpenRouter API credential. If you don't have one, create it using your OpenRouter API Key.
  4. Optional: Go to the 'Settings' node to change the model (default is openai/gpt-4o) or customize the prompt for the AI.
  5. Activate the workflow. You can trigger it using the form URL provided by the 'FromTrigger' node – just upload an image.
