Celette AI WebTools Wins at the 2026 SEMA Show

SEMA AWARD WEBTOOLS

Celette AI WebTools has been named Best New Collision Repair & Refinish Product at the 2026 SEMA Show. On top of that, the platform received two Media’s Choice Awards, from Collision Repair Magazine and Autobody News.

Three awards at the industry’s biggest show is a milestone for Celette. Here is what WebTools does, where the idea came from and why it matters to body shops.

Structural Repair is Changing

Vehicles have never been so complex. Mixed-material bodies, aluminium structures, electric platforms and driver assistance systems all make structural repair more demanding than ever. Tolerances are tight, repair procedures are more detailed, and insurers and vehicle owners increasingly expect clear proof that a car has been returned to its original specifications.

In this context, accuracy depends on equipment, but also on information. Technicians need the right vehicle data, the right measuring points and the right jig setup at every step of the job. Celette AI WebTools was designed to give them exactly that.

Celette AI Webtools

Webtools takes a structural repair from start to finish on a single web platform. Instead of juggling paper datasheets, separate software and printed instructions, the technician follows one continuous workflow in four stages.

1. Finding the vehicle
The platform covers over 25,000 models, all based on original 3D data from our data partners. A VIN search or a simple photo, analysed by AI, is enough to bring up the right vehicle.

2. Measuring
Technicians are guided point by point, with voice commands, through underbody and upper-body measurements. The platform works with our NAJA and EAGLE systems, and manual tram-gauge readings can also be entered.

3. Setting up the repair
Once the damage is assessed, WebTools shows how to assemble and position the jigs. It supports Cameleon as well as Car Bench, Global Jig and Spanesi, and adapts the setup depending on whether mechanical components are on or off the vehicle.

4. Documenting the result
At the end of the job, the platform produces a report comparing the measurements with the reference 3D data. Each report carries a QR code for authentication, giving insurers and vehicle owners a reliable proof of the work done.

Built to Solve a Real Workshop Problem

A structural repair draws on many sources of information, and they are rarely connected. Technicians switch between vehicle data, measuring software, jig instructions and reporting tools, and every switch costs time and adds risk of error.

Celette created WebTools to bring these steps together. Our approach to digitalization is practical: make technical data faster to reach, remove steps that add no value, and help every shop document its repairs to the same standard.

What it Changes for Bodyshops

  • Go digital with the equipment you already have. WebTools supports Celette systems and compatible equipment from other manufacturers, so there is no need to replace your setup to benefit from a digital workflow.
  • AI that saves time. Photo-based identification finds the vehicle in seconds, and AI-assisted Cameleon setup recommends the right jig configuration, reducing the risk of setup errors.
  • ADAS taken into account from the start. WebTools highlights the ADAS calibration points related to the structure, so they can be included in repair planning. This feature raises awareness of calibration requirements and does not replace OEM procedures or the calibration itself.
  • Proof of quality for insurers and customers. QR-authenticated reports give a clear, traceable record of every structural repair.
  • Technicians stay in control. WebTools supports their expertise instead of replacing it, so they spend less time searching for information and more time on accurate repairs.

Thank you to Everyone Involved

We share these awards with our development team, our 3D data partners, and the body shops and distributors whose feedback from the field helped shape the platform. This recognition encourages us to keep developing tools that answer the real needs of collision repair professionals.
