John Bean Introduces Tru-Point:

The Turning Point in ADAS Calibration Innovation

Conway, AR – March 16, 2021 – The new John Bean

advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) calibration tool and the only all-in-one solution on the
market that allows shops to validate if the vehicle meets the OEM-required alignment
specifications, as well as the proper target placement procedures.

John Bean Tru-Point is equipped with top-of-the-line software technology and allows for one­person operation, saving time and eliminating the need for extensive training. Simple, real-time and
visual target placement instructions will allow a shop to streamline the ADAS calibration process
from beginning to end.

Tru-Point fully audits the vehicle’s alignment and closely monitors each step of the setup
procedure, making sure that the process has been completed to meet OEM safety specifications
before an ADAS calibration procedure. By eliminating manual measurements with advanced
camera technology, technicians can rest assured that everything is placed correctly and the
system will automatically compensate for the location of the vehicle.

“While most systems function by referencing the height of the vehicle from the shop floor, our
system measures the height of the targets from the tire contact patch of all four wheels, allowing
for the vehicle to be calibrated anywhere in the shop, even on an alignment rack,” said Jordan
Krebs, product manager for John Bean.

Users will receive a full report at the completion, providing data that validates the unique
measurement properties and wheel alignment specs.

“Tru-Point takes ADAS recalibration to the next level. This ground-breaking system enables the
vehicle’s drive direction toward safety and provides the highest level of precision for placing ADAS
targets,” said Mariana Montovaneli, director of marketing for John Bean. “We are excited to
introduce a unique system that not only ensures accurate target placement and validation, but also
reduces set-up time and increases shop productivity.”

Known for delivering accurate measurements that help shops operate more efficiently, perform
faster repairs and increase the bottom line, John Bean provides customers with a complete array
of ADAS products to help shops improve performance and expand their ADAS calibration
business.
