Member Update regarding Head Office

It gives me great pleasure to inform you that the IAME is trading as normal and alive and well.

Dear IAME Members,

 

It gives me great pleasure to inform you that the IAME is trading as normal and alive and well.

Some of you may have heard that we recently moved out of our Head Office. This decision was not taken lightly, but circumstances required the IAME Board and Management to make a decision and take action. It wasn’t just one thing but a multiple of items that the decision was based on.

 

  • Our shared tenant was moving on as per their own business reasons. We wish them the best for the future.
  • For some time the ceiling in a number of offices has water leakage whereby desks and the carpet floor where being damaged, making it unusable during time of inclement weather, despite many attempts to fix the issue. 
  • We were informed that in around 24 months time the building complex will be torn down and rebuilt.

 

The IAME Board and Management made the decision to have the Administration Team work remotely. For those that may not be aware, the IAME Operations team have been working remotely for some time performing their IAME duties.

 

The IAME Board and Management intend to look for new premises sometime in the near future as the current situation for the Administration Team is only temporary.

 

Please continue to direct all enquiries to (02) 9782110 or email inbox@iame.com.au

All mail should be sent to our Post Office Box which remains at: PO Box 70 Blaxcell NSW 2142

 

If you require any tools or equipment, please call the above phone number or our contact National Operation Manager,  
Mike Fittler on 0418 300 060.

AI is now core to the latest generation of ADAS: deep-learning perception stacks, on-board real-time inference and sensor fusion enable crash-avoidance features that demonstrably reduce collision rates (notably AEB/FCW), while vehicle dynamics control is evolving from rule-based ESC to predictive, AI-assisted torque-vectoring and integrated stability management. Modern systems combine camera/radar (and in some programs lidar, mapping and environmental sensing) to detect, predict and act within fractions of a second; this increases safety but also creates new service obligations — precise sensor calibration, validated software/firmware management, authenticated OTA updates and documented post-repair procedures.

For workshops and maintenance operations that take a conservative, risk-averse approach to chemical use, changes to a product’s chemical formulation matter far more than marketing claims. LOCTITE’s latest generation of threadlockers represents a quiet but significant shift in this regard: a reformulation driven not just by performance outcomes, but by chemical risk reduction and sustainability considerations .
