Is Your Shop ADAS Ready? Tools, Setup, and Workflow Tips

As ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) become standard in modern vehicles, collision repair and mechanical shops are facing a serious challenge: how to properly inspect, calibrate, and repair high-tech safety systems without disrupting existing workflows or sacrificing accuracy.

While many shops focus on scan tools and OEM software, there’s another crucial element to ADAS success:
Your physical workstation setup.

Workstations can be used in many areas of a collision repair facility. They include Blueprinting, Production, Parts, Supplements and ADAS Calibrations. ADAS systems involve cameras, sensors, radar, and control modules that require precise calibration and documentation. And that means:

Secure mounting of laptops and tablets
Clean power access for devices and printers
Stable, mobile platforms to move between vehicles
Organized cable management and storage
Contamination control in areas with delicate electronics

If your team is juggling equipment across benches and carts that weren’t built for electronics, your efficiency and accuracy are at risk.
