In our Solution Spotlight Video “Parallel ECU Programming” we present the concept of parallel ECU programming as a solution for the growing requirements, especially in test and production. Significant time and cost savings can be achieved by updating several ECUs at the same time. Whether in prototype construction, production preparation or field use, the parallel flash programming of ECUs is a decisive factor in accelerating and scaling the software update process.

Meet us on June 3 and 4, 2025 at the 18th Conference - Diagnostics in Mechatronic Vehicle Systems in Dresden. The focus will be on current challenges and technological developments in the field of testing, inspection and diagnostics E/E systems in connection with the networked infrastructure, new assistance functions, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, software integrity and the challenges of meeting legal requirements and standards. In our presentation you will learn everything about the topic “The challenge of workshop solutions with software-based vehicles - SOVD and OTX in use”.

Our Technical Paper “Options for Introducing SOVD in SDV Architectures” (Paper No. 2025-01-8081) is now available for download on the SAE International website. The topic will be presented on April 8, 2025 by Julian Mayer at @WCX™, powered by SAE International, in Detroit, MI, USA.

Meet Softing Automotive at bauma April 7-13, 2025 in Munich, Germany. Because even the most powerful machines need excellent diagnostics!

Optimize ECU programming in software-defined vehicles with parallel access. Learn how to accelerate updates, reduce costs, and streamline flash programming in prototyping and series production – join our webinar!

Meet Softing Automotive at the SAE International WCX™ 2025 and learn everything you need to know about “Options for Introducing SOVD in SDV Architectures” in our technical session.

Meet us at the SAE International On-Board Diagnostics Symposium from March 11-13, 2025 in Porto, Portugal. Our team, represented by Oliver Fieth and Julian Mayer, is looking forward to exchanging ideas with experts from the industry and discussing the latest developments in on-board diagnostics (OBD).

Learn all about SOVD (Service-Oriented Vehicle Diagnostics), the standard for diagnostics in the software-defined vehicle (SDV). Learn how SOVD enables standardised access to diagnostic systems via an API - from remote access to applications in production and workshops. Discover use cases, basic concepts and benefits of this future-orientated approach for the automotive industry.

Nominated for Product of the Year 2025! Our new Smart Vehicle Interface (Softing SVI) for vehicle communication in the gigabit range has been nominated for the readers' choice “Product of the Year 2025” by WEKA Fachmedien GmbH (Editorial Department Electronics)! The Smart Vehicle Interface Softing SVI is a high-performance platform for modern ECU communication.

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.
