When calibrating cameras and sensors, precision and speed are crucial. With TechPRO® Digital ADAS 2.0, MAHLE is setting new standards. This calibration tool leverages artificial intelligence to automate many tasks, reducing workload significantly.
The most time-consuming part of calibrating driver assistance systems is preparation: finding the correct calibration target, aligning the vehicle, and manually entering data into the diagnostic device.
Compared to competitors, TechPRO® Digital ADAS has already significantly reduced time spent on the first two steps—thanks to digital calibration targets projected onto a screen and laser-based vehicle alignment technology.
These advancements alone can cut working time by up to 80%.
The new TechPRO® Digital ADAS 2.0 takes automation even further, nearly fully automating the setup process. Now, all that is required is attaching the wheel clamps, positioning the digital calibration target in front of the vehicle, and placing the laser distance meters. After that, with one click, Digital ADAS 2.0 takes care of the rest. New MAHLE laser meters have been developed to measure distances automatically and transmit the data via Bluetooth to the diagnostic device. This eliminates the need for manual reading or data entry, saving time and reducing the risk of errors. Additionally, thanks to artificial intelligence, the calibration target automatically adjusts to the correct position in front of the camera or sensor at the push of a button, completing the setup process quickly.
In France, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, and the United Kingdom, license plates are directly linked to the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). This integration is used to enhance efficiency through artificial intelligence.
For these countries, an optional webcam can be installed with the calibration tool. Simply positioning the vehicle in front of the tool allows the camera to capture an image of the license plate and transmit it to the TechPRO® diagnostic device. This eliminates the need to manually check the registration certificate, type in data, or confirm vehicle details. The process significantly reduces setup time and prevents input errors.
The license plate image can also be included in the calibration report as proof of service.
Calibrating driver assistance systems is a complex process that requires precision at every step.
For new users, those unsure about a procedure, or employees in training, short (5–10 second) step-by-step video instructions have been developed for each calibration phase. These can be played directly on the new matte 65-inch monitor.
MAHLE also suggests using the monitor as a multimedia hub for presentations or advertising.
