The inaugural ARC360/ILC Motor Claims Showcase Event has secured another big win with the announcement that GYS will unveil what it claims to be a breakthrough in riveting safety.
By introducing two new industry-first functions, the GYPress Connected Riveting system elevates safety in the workshop to the next level.
The first new function is digital traceability, which is based on a concept already established in spot welding and enables the riveting pressure to be recorded as well as the pre-set parameters.
Meanwhile, embedded connectivity improves the speed and accuracy of setting, as GYPress automatically applies the correct pressure when the manufacturer and rivet type is entered.
Neil Pulsford, Managing Director of GYS UK, said, “The dual objectives we seek are to enhance repair safety and deliver efficiencies to the bodyshop, whether it be through speed of use or whole life cost of ownership. The GYSPress achieves both of these objectives.”
Mark Hadaway, ILC Managing Director, said, “We’re delighted to welcome GYS to what is sure to be a fantastic event. Innovation is a bedrock of what we at ILC strive to achieve, and GYS, with this product and its wider portfolio, aligns perfectly with that philosophy.”
The GYS news follows the announcement that Tesla’s Business Operations Manager – EMEA Body Repair, Craig Plant has been confirmed on the speaker line-up. He will join a panel comprising Neil Bayton, Head of Partnerships – UK, Trustpilot; Gill Nowell, Head of Electric Vehicles, LV= General Insurance & ElectriX; Natalie Spurrier, Technical Claims Director, The AA; and Dave Sargeant, Managing Director, Gemini Accident Repair Centres, to discuss the future of motor claims.
The event will also feature a ‘next generation’ meet and greet session designed to support demographic diversity across the sector, as well as partner showcase sessions from Audatex, Enterprise and Innovation Group.
More than 400 key persons of influence from across the claims sector are expected to attend the ILC/ARC360 Motor Claims Showcase, which is headline sponsored by Enterprise and takes place on 29 June at the CBS Arena, Coventry.
