Ascential Technologies’ Whitepaper on the Importance of Universal ADAS Servicing

Ascential Technologies—provider of automated diagnostic, inspection, assembly and test systems and services—has published its latest whitepaper, titled “Driving Down Costs, Driving Up Safety: The Economic Benefits of Universal ADAS Servicing,” which examines the life-saving reality of ADAS and the “calibration gap” causing economic and safety implications, company officials stated in a press release. The “calibration gap” refers to the fact that while ADAS technologies are becoming standard in modern vehicles, they are still frequently left misaligned following repairs due to lack of expertise, equipment and standardized procedures.

Co-sponsored by Dealer Tire under the Sentric ADAS brand, which was formed through a partnership between Dealer Tire and Burke Porter, the whitepaper highlights that even the slightest misalignments in sensor systems—as small as a fraction of a degree—can render ADAS functions ineffective with substantial consequences. The resulting issues can impact an array of stakeholders, including drivers, insurers, repair shops and manufacturers, noted the release. For drivers, inaccurate calibrations can lead to avoidable crashes that injure or kill people, medical costs, legal fees and more. For insurers, the lack of consistent ADAS recalibrations can cost millions of dollars to insurance providers.

“It is critical that ADAS systems be properly calibrated to reduce collisions, accident severity and ultimately save thousands of lives every year,” said Brunno Moretti, president, ADAS Aftermarket by Burke Porter, an Ascential Technologies offering. “This in-depth whitepaper dives into key statistics that showcase the extensive issues that arise due to inaccurate calibrations and the tremendously positive impact that standardizing ADAS recalibration could have on the automotive industry.”

The whitepaper covers topics such as:

• Proper ADAS calibration.
• Data and examples of ADAS technologies not being properly calibrated.
• How the “calibration gap” is costing consumers and the industry by examining issues for each stakeholder in separate sections.
• And more.

Ascential Technologies’ “The Importance of ADAS Calibration for Collision Prevention and Road Safety” Whitepaper

This whitepaper comes on the heels of Ascential Technologies releasing its “The importance of ADAS calibration for collision prevention and road safety” whitepaper, published in July 2025, which examines and evaluates the effects of various calibration methods on the performance of a selected vehicle.

With a rich history of developing uniquely designed, reliable ADAS solutions, Burke Porter says that it provides customers with the most accurate calibrations within the industry. Its industry-leading technologies comprise more than 70 years of original-equipment manufacturer (OEM) factory end-of-assembly-line experience and ADAS technology used by 80% of automakers.
