In the collision repair industry, a “scan” is more than just reading codes—it’s a critical safety step that affects liability, repair accuracy, and documentation. While many standard tools rely on automated, general software, AirPro Diagnostics delivers a more advanced “local” connection model.
By keeping industry-standard licensed software resident on the tool itself, AirPro ensures diagnostic data remains secure and aligns with required industry standards. This approach sets AirPro apart from cloud-only scanning solutions that rely on retransmitted data.
Unlike traditional aftermarket scanners that may miss brand-specific nuances, AirPro connects your shop to remote Brand Specialists. These experts operate the diagnostic tool on your behalf, providing real-time data analysis that bridges the gap between a generic scan and a high-level diagnostic process.
Understanding AirPro’s Scan Technology Advantage
AirPro technology is purpose-built for the high-stakes environment of modern collision repair. At the center of this ecosystem is the ORION® cloud-based management platform, which serves as the hub for diagnostic data, reporting, and workflow integration.
Key advantages include:
- Precision and Reliability: By using licensed software directly connected to the vehicle, AirPro reduces communication delays and minimizes security risks commonly associated with retransmitted or cloud-dependent data.
- Workflow Efficiency: ORION integrates with shop management systems, enabling scan reports and invoices to populate automatically in the repair file, supporting proper documentation and insurance reimbursement.
Key Features and Innovations of AirPro Systems
One of the most impactful innovations for collision repair shops is Auggie, AirPro’s mobile Digital Targeting System (DTS). Traditionally, forward-facing camera calibrations required extensive floor space—often 30 feet or more—and tightly controlled lighting conditions.
Key benefits of Auggie include:
- Space Savings: Eliminates the need for more than 250 square feet of dedicated calibration space.
- Environmentally Independent: Operates in any lighting condition, indoors or outdoors, by rendering calibration targets digitally.
- Speed and Efficiency: Reduces sublet costs by allowing calibrations to remain in-house and significantly shortening cycle times.
Comparing AirPro Technology to Other Diagnostic Tools
While other providers offer remote scanning services, AirPro’s approach is differentiated by its local hardware architecture. Many competitors rely on data retransmission from remote servers, whereas AirPro’s software resides directly on the tablet, aligning with stringent industry security standards.

Applications in the Modern Body Shop
AirPro Diagnostics is more than a scanning solution—it’s a revenue-driving platform for multiple repair segments:
- Collision Repair: Supporting pre- and post-repair scans that align with industry standards and documentation requirements.
- Glass Shops: Enabling immediate forward-facing camera calibration following windshield replacement.
- Safety & Compliance: Creating a verifiable digital record that supports insurer requirements and provides confidence to vehicle owners.
Cost, Efficiency, and ROI: Is AirPro the Right Scan Solution?
For shop owners, the return on investment with AirPro is driven primarily by reduced cycle times and fewer sublet calibrations. Eliminating the need to transport vehicles for external calibration can save hundreds of dollars per repair and return vehicles to customers days sooner.
With AirPro’s Evergreen Warranty, both hardware and ORION software are continuously updated, ensuring the system stays current as new vehicle models enter the market—without requiring costly tool replacement.
