Rotary, part of Vehicle Service Group (VSG), a Dover company, has unveiled a new mobile Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) solution. The new calibration system is powered by TEXA, a company specializing in the design, development and production of multi-brand diagnostic tools, exhaust gas analyzers, air conditioning recharge stations and tele-diagnostic devices.
“We are invested in providing our partners, customers and the industry with the most comprehensive set of shop solutions on the market," said Ian Wendler, vice president and general manager for VSG Americas. “Our partnership with TEXA is the beginning of Rotary’s expanded ADAS offering and provides a unique solution to service, repair and calibrate today’s complex vehicles.”
The mobile ADAS solution offers repair service professionals a way to recalibrate cameras, radars, LiDARs and sensors when replacement is required, and additional measures are necessary that affect them. This solution is applicable to replacing the windshield and bumper, repairing suspensions, aligning wheels, changing tires and replacing the engine control unit.
“As automobiles continue to evolve with more advanced ADAS technology, so has TEXA’s capacity to develop some of the industry’s most dependable calibration tools for ADAS repair,” said Bruno Vianello, founder and president of the TEXA Group. “We’re excited to partner with Rotary to offer a mobile ADAS that will help technicians fine-tune these advanced systems more accurately, safely and faster.”
The system helps technicians perform static and dynamic calibrations and reset the ADAS correctly, making it applicable for automotive repair and service shops that need to complete a wide variety of aftermarket ADAS calibrations. Continuously updated software guides technicians step-by-step through each phase of calibration and replacement, which allows for exceptional coverage of new and late model cars and trucks.
“This is the first product to come out of our recently announced partnership,” said Dario Peruch, president and managing director of TEXA USA. “It’s exactly what you’d expect to see from Rotary, one of the longest-standing premier automotive service brands and a high-tech automotive diagnostic tool provider – a product that’s advanced enough to handle the demands of new model vehicles yet can easily integrate into any work area within a repair shop.”
Compared to other ADAS systems, Rotary’s uses less space and does not have to be installed in a dedicated service bay. It can be transported to other work areas, such as an alignment bay. This offers customers the flexibility needed to allocate labor.
