Softing Automotive offers a solution for decoupling the DUT from the test bench automation on the hardware and software side, which only requires a small amount of OEM-specific knowledge from the manufacturer of the automation system and therefore significantly simplifies and accelerates the preparation and execution of the test process. A test bench interface, which is connected between the automation and the device under test (DUT), makes this feasible and also enables the testing of several test objects with a corresponding front end.

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.
