The principle technical features that make VALUADATA a unique system in the world market are the following: A database of 1,800,000 auto parts corresponding to the 2,900-plus vehicles in the system, including images, part codes, descriptions, origins, prices and supplier discounts. Images of each and every one of the repairable and replaceable parts, giving the operator a better logical perception of the damages as well as the correct size and position of the affected areas, thus enabling the computer to accurately estimate the cost of the accident. More than 20,000 repair and rebuilding "recipes", including labor times, materials, equipment, sub-contract work, sub-assemblies, operating costs and profit required for repairing different possible types of collision damage, with an average of 40 variables on each. More than 10,000 fitting and painting recipes that include material and labor requirements for painting the necessary parts and areas according to every possible damage scenario, including allowances for the different color matching and refinishing systems applicable to all vehicle models on the market. A data bank of more than 200,000 paths with times and sequences for the removal and refitting of every part, whether to change the part or gain access to another part, according to the position and degree of damage. All this analysis is provided separately for each area or critical point of the parts. The system also shows different degrees of reparability according to structural designs, materials and repair procedures. This eliminates the subjectivity inherent in traditional personal appraisals. |
