While the connection to the vehicle was established via a cable, vehicle communication in today's remote scenarios is much more complex. Softing offers a broker solution that allows you to clearly identify numerous communication partners, such as applications and vehicle interfaces, and establish a secure connection throughout the vehicle's lifecycle. Communication partners, access rights and software versions are managed via an intuitive web application, providing maximum flexibility for remote diagnostic and test scenarios.

In this webinar recording, we will present developments in automotive software and show how Softing is constantly improving its software offering to help its customers meet the latest market trends and standards. In doing so, we offer user-friendly, service-oriented software APIs that simplify the complexity of today's and tomorrow's diagnostic standards.

Software-defined vehicles (SDV) and new E/E architectures place high demands on diagnostics, vehicle access and data management. The need for software updates is increasing, as is the amount of data that needs to be transferred. In the near future, around 50 GB of data per vehicle type and model series will have to be stored accordingly. Conventional methods are often too slow and unreliable here. The Smart Vehicle Interface Softing SVI is a high-performance platform for modern ECU programming with continuous data supply. The solution combines the advantages of the high-speed wireless connection of a smart device with the classic diagnostic functions of a high-end vehicle communication interface (VCI) and thus enables fast, reliable and flexible flash programming of large amounts of data.

We are pleased to present the new Smart Vehicle Interface ‘Softing SVI’ – a high-performance solution for modern ECU programming with continuous data supply. The Softing SVI combines the advantages of the high-speed wireless connection of a Smart Device with the classic diagnostic functions of a high-end Vehicle Communication Interface (VCI) and an SSD in a compact housing. It thus enables fast, reliable and flexible flash programming of substantial amounts of data and is therefore the solution for the high requirements of software-defined vehicles (SDV).

We expanded our Vehicle Communication Interface (VCI) portfolio with a universal, robust diagnostic interface via CAN/FD. The diagnostic interface VIN|ING 800 unites state-of-the-art hardware design for CAN/FD and maximum sturdiness with all-round impact protection at a highly attractive price. For many service applications requiring just one CAN interface, this device is the perfect choice as it provides a lean and at the same time powerful interface from the application to the vehicle. VIN|ING 800 can also be deployed to efficiently solve communication tasks in the engineering of vehicle systems.

Join Softing Automotive and our partner Kvaser for a free joint webinar on December 7th, 2022 (10:00AM EDT, 04:00PM CET) to find out how the latest CAN technology enhancements (CAN, CAN FD, CAN XL) support UDS, what the new SAE J1979 regulations mean in practice for diagnostics test, and how OEMs and Tier 1s can benefit.

In our product catalog we provide you with an up-to-date overview of the Softing Automotive range. With our core areas of expertise, diagnostics, testing, engineering and telematics, we provide products and solutions for automotive electronics as well as closely related areas of the vehicle industry including new mobility concepts like vehicle rental or sharing.

Due, among other things, to the great market success as well as the very good growth prospects in the car sharing and rental market, the Liechtenstein-based Group subsidiary GlobalmatiX AG has now founded a subsidiary in Germany, GlobalmatiX GmbH. The new sales company will be headed up by Timm Burmeister who has more than 18 years of experience in the field of shared mobility and rental with market leaders in the industry.

Together with Kvaser, we now offer a robust plug & play solution for all after-sales diagnostic tasks that can withstand even the toughest demands in the workshop environment. The combination of intuitive diagnostic software from Softing and the powerful U100 vehicle interface from Kvaser is the ideal solution for fault localization, repair and commissioning of individual components as well as entire vehicle systems, including electric vehicles and mobile machines.

In vehicle manufacturing, very high demands are placed on timing, performance and system stability. For the vehicle communication interface (VCI), this means that the protocol stack for the communication software is executed in real time on the VCI without interruption and that communication with the host PC takes place via a powerful interface. Special requirements are also made of connection management to ensure and control secure access to a large number of VCIs. Softing´s answer to these high demands in manufacturing is the VCI VIN|ING 2000.
