Mitchell’s new diagnostic sync automatically adds ADAS operations

Mitchell has unveiled its new “Mitchell Diagnostic Sync, which it says, will make identifying needed calibrations easier for repairers. 

“Mitchell Diagnostic Sync” automatically adds ADAS operations from third-party providers to Mitchell Cloud Estimating.

“Diagnostic scanning and ADAS calibrations have become a key component of collision repair,” said David Caulfield, CEO of Fix Auto Anaheim North, in Mitchell’s release. “To meet the needs of our insurance partners and the vehicles we service, we rely on multiple diagnostic solutions. Having the ability to pre-populate Mitchell estimate lines with data from these applications will allow us to work more efficiently while remaining focused on delivering proper and safe repairs.”

Mitchell Diagnostic Sync eliminates the previously manual export of estimating data and import of third-party scan and calibration reports, the release says. 

“These reports are now attached to the correct job in Mitchell Connect, and the recommended ADAS operations are added automatically to Mitchell Cloud Estimating based on the specific vehicle and collision-damage information entered,” the release says. 

The system is designed to simplify documentation, eliminate data re-keying, and provide estimates with critical repair information as the appraisal is written, it says. The third-party report can then be easily shared with insurers and vehicle owners. 

“Mitchell was the first to develop a diagnostic system specifically for the collision repair and automotive claims markets,” said Jack Rozint, senior vice president of repair sales at Mitchell. “Now, through our open platform, diagnostic scan and calibration tools, Predictive ADAS functionality, and the introduction of Mitchell Diagnostics Sync, we have a complete solution for all pre- and post-repair diagnostic workflows.”

Opus IVS has already integrated its ADAS Map calibration identification report with the Diagnostic as a Service (DaaS) solution, the release says. 

Following a customer pilot, Mitchell Diagnostic Sync with the Opus IVS integration will be available to all U.S. and Canadian collision repair facilities. 

Mitchell plans to integrate with other third-party diagnostic providers, the release says. 

Those in the industry are encouraged to request a demonstration by visiting Mitchell’s booth at SEMA (#35171 in the Upper South Hall) or by completing a form here.
