Standardization in Vehicle Diagnostics with Ed & Ted – Get it Done!

Ensuring quality, efficiency and investment protection through standardized solutions from Softing – all standards built in.

The automotive industry is moving towards environmentally friendly drives and digital, automated functions. This increases the complexity of vehicle electronics and the demands on communication. Standardization in vehicle diagnostics is therefore becoming increasingly important in order to simplify engineering, production, and service and to ensure interoperability and cost-effectiveness over the entire vehicle life cycle.

The use of standardized interfaces and diagnostic tools shortens the development time and enables a uniform database for diagnostic data. Consistent use of standardized interfaces and interchangeable diagnostic tools can significantly reduce development times and create uniform central databases for diagnostic data.

Established standardization areas:

  • Data Description
  • Programming interfaces (API)
  • Protocols
  • Bus Systems

Softing Automotive is active in leading standardization committees such as ASAM, SAE, and ISO and benefits from the further development and integration of international standards into its solutions.
