9 Industry Focus Automann is doing its part to remove excess trips into the warehouse with its new online 360˚ parts visibility tool. Automann says its new 360˚ tool allows distributors to virtually view a component as if they were holding it in their own hands. "You can see literally every angle of the product, and on top of that, we have superimposed other information that is relevant [to the product]," says CJ Khan- duja, vice president at Automann. Khanduja says Automann engineers use computer aided design (CAD) imag- ing to create the 360˚ visuals, then render each individual component to produce the images now found online. More than 1,000 components are already 360˚ viewable on Automann's distributor website, Khanduja says, with more than 10,000 in development to be added later this year. Automann's newest print Air Brake & Wheel Catalog also identifi es products can be viewed using the 360˚ tool online. W W W . T R U C K P A R T S A N D S E R V I C E .

Mitchell 1 says the RepairConnect module in TruckSeries includes all of the diagnostic trouble code (DTC) content and procedures in the previous version, but through the updated interface deliv- ers the data faster and in a more user friendly experience. TruckSeries also in- cludes enhancements to vehicle selection, printing, search capabilities and may be accessed from a wider range of Internet browsers, Mitchell 1 says. "With RepairConnect in TruckSeries, users will be able to work more ef- fi ciently, limit downtime, and quickly return the vehicle to service," says Scott DeGiorgio, general manager of Mitchell 1's commercial vehicle group.
