Mitchell announced that they have signed an agreement to integrate Protech's ADAS ID³solution with Mitchell's Diagnostics as a Service (DaaS) platform and Predictive ADAS functionality. This will allow repairers to access a comprehensive, AI-generated report of manufacturer-recommended calibrations in Mitchell Connect based on information specific to each automobile, estimate, diagnostic trouble code, and OEM guideline.
In today's world, nearly every new vehicle has at least one ADAS feature. This has increased the need for collision repairers to identify the ADAS components on automobiles and ensure that necessary repair procedures and calibrations are not overlooked.
"With advanced safety systems becoming standard on new vehicles, it's more important than ever that estimators and technicians have easy access to ADAS calibration information in order to safely return collision-damaged automobiles to the road," said Jack Rozint, senior vice president of repair sales at Mitchell. "Our DaaS platform, patented diagnostics workflow and integrations with best-in-class technologies like Protech's ADAS ID³ help make that possible while, at the same time, streamlining the repair planning process."
Protech is the first AI and machine-learning technology provider to integrate with the new Mitchell Diagnostics Predictive ADAS solution. Its ADAS ID³ offering mines thousands of data points from vehicle scans and other sources to create ADAS repair recommendations that identify the safety features in need of being restored to factory specifications.
"Determining the OEM-recommended calibrations on a given repair is time-consuming and could be error-prone when done manually," said Don Mikrut, vice president of Protech. "However, leveraging Protech technology along with Mitchell's can help repairers improve efficiency, reduce rework, and, most importantly, return critical systems to pre-accident condition."
Availability of the Mitchell Diagnostics Predictive ADAS solution is planned for the first half of 2025.
