AAAE: ADAS calibration in the spotlight

PREPARATIONS are underway for the 2024 Australian Auto Aftermarket Expo (AAAE) and Collision Expo with details announced of a range of in-depth, technical training sessions, including those for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and the critically important skills of ADAS calibration.

Co-located within the Collision Repair Expo at this year’s free-to-attend AAAE, the ADAS Technology Zone will host technology experts from ADAS Solutions Australia who will showcase the latest ADAS equipment and calibration techniques from a variety of suppliers.

The ADAS Solutions Australia crew will provide ADAS calibration demonstrations and training and specialist advice with a focus on industry best practice. Organisers say the Technology Zone is tailored specifically for automotive repairers, collision repairers, and those working in vehicle modification.

“A valuable new feature at the Expos, the ADAS Technology Zone will address the important questions repairers and modifiers have about incorporating ADAS calibration into their service offering, either in-house or outsourced to a business partner, and the business implications of both options,” said AAAA director of membership, marketing, and events Tiffany Conway.

“The Technology Zone will be the most comprehensive opportunity for attendees to get-up-close-and-personal with ADAS equipment, learn what’s best for their business, and get all the answers they need from ADAS industry experts.

“The AAAA is very proud to be partnering with ADAS Solutions Australia to bring this vitally important subject matter to light.

“Together, we will provide attendees with equipment demonstrations, peer networking opportunities, and access to ADAS calibration experts, to help attendees better understand and navigate the complexities of ADAS calibration.”

ADAS Solutions Australia are industry leaders in ADAS technology, equipment, and training; utilising a variety of ADAS equipment to educate and provide calibration services.

“Almost every passenger vehicle sold in Australia today has some form of ADAS,” said ADAS Solutions Australia director Adrian Parkes.

“As such, it is vitally important that the automotive and collision repair industry understands the systems and components commonly used by manufacturers, and what these systems and components are designed to do, as well as the repair requirements and processes of the ADAS’ commonly found on passenger vehicles today.

“Covering ADAS fundamentals, components, calibration and providing live demonstrations with ADAS technicians, we will provide attendees with the chance to improve their knowledge base, ask questions and discuss real world issues and scenarios they face in the industry.”

The ADAS Technology Zone builds on the work accomplished by the 2022 Expos’ Workshop of the Future concept by providing a dedicated space which focuses on this rapidly growing segment of the market.

Organisers say the Auto Aftermarket Expo is packed with additional training opportunities, including a comprehensive Business Education Program, and an exclusive Technical Training Program with leading international diagnostics experts Diagnose Dan and Sean Tipping.

The combined expos will also feature more than 400 leading Australian and international brands showcasing the latest equipment, technology, parts, and accessories, a huge networking event, vehicle display area, celebrity appearances and competitions, all adding to an unmissable three-day industry experience.
