SUMMARY:The Evolution of Battery Diagnostics: Meeting Today's Electrical Demands
DESCRIPTION:Battery complaints are often symptoms of broader electrical system issues rather than true battery failures. Misdiagnosis not only drives up costs but also leads to unnecessary replacements\, repeat repairs\, and customer frustration. This session explores why these errors occur and shares practical diagnostic strategies that help technicians pinpoint root causes\, boost repair accuracy\, and improve shop profitability. \nPresented by EnerSys | ODYSSEY Battery.

SUMMARY:The Next Generation of SCR Performance: Preparing for 2027 Emissions Regulations\, DEF Quality\, and Deposit Prevention
DESCRIPTION:With 2027 emissions regulations approaching\, diesel aftertreatment systems will face significantly tighter NOx standards and more demanding operating conditions. These changes will place increased pressure on Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) systems to perform with greater precision and reliability. At the same time\, deposit formation within SCR systems is emerging as a critical challenge that can impact vehicle uptime\, maintenance costs\, and emissions compliance. \nThis session will explore how the 2027 regulatory landscape is reshaping DEF performance expectations\, why deposit prevention is becoming the next major frontier in SCR reliability\, and what the aftermarket must understand to support fleets and customers. Attendees will gain insights into the causes of SCR deposits\, how they affect system efficiency\, and the innovations being developed to help ensure long-term emissions performance. \nPresented by Old World Industries.

SUMMARY:Why Most Aftermarket B2B Commerce Launches Fail
DESCRIPTION:B2B buyers in the automotive aftermarket — repair shops\, fleet managers\, and dealers — have already moved their procurement online\, and the distributors and suppliers who built digital commerce infrastructure early are pulling ahead. But most mid-market companies still launch ecommerce the wrong way: treating fitment accuracy\, ERP integration\, and account-level pricing as ‘phase two’ features instead of the table stakes that wholesale buyers require on day one. This session draws on firsthand experience with mid-market aftermarket replatforming projects to share the patterns that separate high-ROI commerce launches from expensive rebuilds — and a practical framework attendees can apply to their own digital roadmap. \nPresented by Classy Llama.

SUMMARY:Stock Smarter\, Not Harder: AI-Driven Inventory for Aftermarket Distributors
DESCRIPTION:Aftermarket distributors are stuck between two expensive bets: carry too much safety stock and tie up working capital\, or carry too little and lose revenue to stockouts. Both come down to guesswork\, manual replenishment\, lagged ERP forecasting\, and now tariff-driven supplier lead time swings make it worse. In this session\, we’ll show how Blue Ridge’s adaptive AI forecasting model replaces guesswork with explainable\, signal-driven replenishment recommendations. This is the same approach that drove Lohmiller & Company’s 24% inventory reduction and 11% fill rate improvement. Attendees will leave the session with tools to benchmark their own inventory position. \nPresented by Blue Ridge Global. Visit them in booth V644!
