Braking technology specialist, Bendix, has launched a new smart phone app that helps identify different types of brake pads. Aptly named 'Brake Pad Identifier', the app uses photo-recognition software to identify part numbers and applications.
The Bendix app provides a reference code for the users current brake pads in order to make it faster and easier to find a replacement.
“By just taking a few steps the Bendix Brake Pad Identifier will automatically identify the brake pad in your workshop allowing an unprecedented level of customer service in speed and accuracy,” said Bendix Marketing Services Manager, Ian Bott, in a statement.
By entering the make and model of the vehicle, the length of the brake pad, with a photo of the brake pad, the app will match up the appropriate brake reference from its database.
