A window on the future with "OFFICINA 4.0"

Editorial Staff

In Hall 30, a virtual journey turns the spotlight on the repairs of tomorrow. An exclusive preview reflecting the profound changes that are redefining the car and the way it interacts with the outside world, with new technologies that will require independent workshops to make a significant leap in their mindsets to remain competitive.
Autopromotec 2017 puts the spotlight on the workshop of the future by organising an event unlike any other in the panorama of the automotive aftermarket: "OFFICINA (Workshop) 4.0: Proof of Concept”.
Hosted in Hall 30, the initiative consists of a virtual journey through the workshop of tomorrow, visitors having the opportunity to see for themselves what the future holds for the world of repairs, which technologies will be available and how the role of professionals will change. All through a "proof of concept", a representation of new methods for identifying faults and diagnosing problems, and the subsequent repair operations.
The "OFFICINA 4.0: Proof of Concept" project, an exclusive preview, reflects the profound changes that are redefining the car and the way it interacts with the outside world, with new technologies that will require independent workshops to make a significant leap in their mindsets to remain competitive. Hence the need to innovate, to avoid being shut out of the maintenance and repair business, acquiring the equipment and training necessary to keep ensuring a complete and cutting-edge service.
The use of electronics in vehicles is soaring, and the amount of information that can be provided by the diagnostic system is extensive and varied, opening up new scenarios and opportunities for the world of repairs. The increasingly connected vehicle will record and send its driving data in a continuous manner, as well as information on its operational status and the stresses to which its various components are subjected.
Thanks to an intelligent and thorough reading of its data, it will be possible to remotely track the "health status" of customers' vehicles in real time, and, if necessary, advise the owner to service the vehicle in a preventative manner.
This will lead to a more accurate relationship with the consumer, more timely service, a significant increase in quality and reduction of time spent doing repairs.
In the "Connected Workshop" all the main processes will be greatly affected and improved: product development, technology management and management of product life cycles.
All these topics will be covered in "OFFICINA 4.0:Proof of Concept", where Autopromotec visitors will have the exclusive opportunity to learn more about the latest technologies, get a preview of the future of their businesses and therefore be well prepared to anticipate future customer needs in order to transform the challenges of today into a great business opportunity tomorrow.
With the organisation of "OFFICINA 4.0:Proof of Concept", Autopromotec once again confirms its indispensable central role in the aftermarket, not only as the most comprehensive showcase in the market in terms of products and services, but also anticipating those trends that will shape the world of vehicle repairs in the near future.
The tour of OFFICINA 4.0:Proof of Concept lasts about 20 minutes and can be booked at the beginning of May through the exhibition website, https://www.autopromotec.com/en/.
