Many people in the world are buying cars from second hand, because not everyone can afford new cars. We often look for cars in some dealerships or online. But do we really know if they are in good condition? What is really hidden by perfect photos and low price?
Many people are trying to sell cars for more then they are worth. I get it, they want to get some profit from it. But selling a car with higher price has to go with high-quality. People have tendency to forget about it. Even if we are taking it to the mechanic so he could check everything, but there is always a slight chance that we won’t see every problem that it has.
What is Twinner® Space?
It is the most advanced car scanner. It scans your car inside and outside, and gives you 360o overview of your car. It also produces images of the vehicle surface, underbody and tires. After collecting all technical and digital data, it is combined into Twinner® Cloud and it creates Digital Twinn®.
TWINNER® SPACE OFFERS FEATURES LIKE:
- QR and barcode scanner- Automatically identify vehicles and work steps
The barcode or QR attached to the car is distributed as a reference to all the work that has been done on a car and all the data that was collected.
- Fully calibrated measurement environment– Precise measurement results that can be used for further work.
Various high-quality cameras and sensors identify the car from every point of view in a 3D coordinate system. In the Twinner® Space more than 100,000 high-power LEDs has been installed, which is about 20 % of direct solar radiation. It creates homogeneous daylight, that can be very helpful with detecting all problems and creating perfect shots. The light can be controlled automatically but also individually.
- High resolution pictures– Perfectly staged from all sides.
With those cameras they can make overview of the car in just 5 minutes. They take photos of it from 250 various angles. The cameras are placed on different heights which helps customers see the vehicle better and clearer.
- Interior panorama-Testing becomes unnecessary.
We all know that seeing the inside of the car is very important. That’s why with this device we can feel like we are there. The 360° indoor camera is an 8K-sphere camera with 6 fisheye lenses and that’s what creates an indoor panorama of the car.
- Tire tread depth scanner (Beta)- Tire condition at a glance.
Tire tread depth scanner can immediately show us what are the conditions of the tires. The scanner is installed in the floor and as you are driving over them, they scan all four tires. Every tire has 3,000 reading by laser.
- Underbody scanner (Beta)– You have never seen the underbody like this before.
When you are driving into the Twinner®, the underbody scanners are picturing every detail in about 5 seconds. After that it creates 2D image and if any part looks suspicious you can zoom in and examine that even more closely.
- Repaint Sensor (Beta) – Find repainting reliably.
We can’t really see if a car was ever repainted and we usually use electromagnetic radiation, but there can always be a slight problem with that. The Twinner® is like a X-Ray and makes every detail, that was changed, visible for anyone.
In my opinion this product can be useful in many areas. But there are also some problems with it. Right now it’s available in Germany and in China. I think it would be a great idea to expand it all over the world. It’s a great device but I don’t really know if anyone ever heard about it. It’s not clearly stated how much this service costs, maybe that’s why it hasn’t already been in other places.
But is it really going to prevent people from buying defected cars?
I think for now it won’t prevent anything worldwide, only in places that have an access to it. But what we can do now is that we have to check everything by ourselves or by mechanics and just be careful. Remember to not get caught on low price, because it can cost more, than a value of the car, to repair all defaults. Even though Twinner came up with something like that, is a great start, but I think they still have a lot of work to do.

Sounds great, but the only question is price. Will it be effective for you to scan a car every time. Because u choose between, at least, a few cars when you a buy a new one. In my opinion, as for each technology, we have to wait some time to have affordable price.
Yeah, I also thought about the price of such solution, but I guess it is mainly aimed at the market of very expensive cars when the price of such scanning wouldn’t be a big of a deal. I see it helping many who trade with such luxurious vehicles.
