Russia has developed a device for quick diagnosis of hidden car defects

As explained in the state corporation, the main principle of the device is the impulse effect using a thermal imager on the surface of the part in order to identify inhomogeneities of the thermal fields and thus detect hidden damages and deformations. 

Rostec believes that the device will be widely used in car services, dealerships and maintenance stations, as well as among evaluators, insurers and polishers who control the quality of painting work.

The technical solution developed by Schwabe specialists has no analogues on the market today, "says Oleg Yevtushenko, executive director of Rostec. - The device will significantly improve the quality of control over the condition of the body parts of the car. In the future, the implementation of the project is able to bring the diagnosis of vehicles to a new level, thus reducing the risk of buying a car with mileage to get a "cat in a bag."

By November 3, 2021, neither the dates for the start of sales of the device nor its cost are disclosed. The creation of the product as part of the Schwabe holding was carried out by the State Scientific Center of NPO Orion and Research Institute Polyus named after M.F. Stelmakh. Pavel Abramov, Interim General Director of the HSC of the Russian Federation, NGO Orion, noted that in terms of its functional characteristics, this is the first such device for the maintenance and repair of transport.^[1]
