The i·SHOP
standards from AAIA are the result of a cooperative effort between providers of
Shop Management, Diagnostic and Information systems.
i·SHOP Version 1
Update
i·SHOP-enabled
equipment from a variety of suppliers was demonstrated at the AAPEX show in Las
Vegas (October) and at the Hunter booth at NADA in New Orleans (January). The
feedback from shop owner/operators has been very supportive. The time savings
realized by implementing an i·SHOP environment is obvious, and many have
already calculated their expected ROI with an i·SHOP enabled shop. A
number of products are already i·SHOP certified and more are on the way
in 2002. A Marketing Subcommittee has been formed to insure the word about
i·SHOP is spread in a consistent and accurate manner.
i·SHOP Version 2
Update
Even as i·SHOP
Version 1 enabled products are hitting the streets, Version 2 is being defined.
This will further enhance the abilities of shop equipment and management
systems by allowing shops to order parts online, allow the diagnostic results
to be transferred using XML technology, and will enable non-PC applications to
share their important diagnostic results on the i·SHOP network.
Currently teams are working to define and implement these standards. It is
strongly encouraged that interested companies GET INVOLVED NOW to insure your
needs are accounted for in this critical development phase!

I•SHOP
Demonstration a Big Success at AAPEX 2001!
I•SHOP-enabled
equipment from Alldata, Baymaster, Hunter, John Bean, Snap-On/Sun and SPX was
demonstrated at the AAPEX show in Las Vegas. Visitors were able to see working
equipment in a “virtual shop” environment, so they could see
first-hand the benefits of i•SHOP. The response was incredible!
See i•SHOP
in action at NADA 2002!
Hunter Engineering
will be demonstrating i•SHOP utilizing a Shop Management system, Hunter
Wheel Alignment and Inspection Lane equipment, and Alldata Repair and Parts
information. Come see it in action in booth #2249! |
