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.

SOVD changes diagnostics, the standard offers great advantages not least in the interaction of several partners via the Internet. However, additional methodologies are necessary in the early engineering phases, and the standard simply has not been developed for ECU diagnostics.

Due to current megatrends such as autonomous driving, significantly higher computing power is required in the vehicle than can be provided by today's ECUs. Consequently high-performance computers (HPCs) are being installed in the vehicle to implement both centralized control and diagnostic functions. Standardization of the interface is therefore an obvious step, and is currently being carried out in ASAM e.V. under the name SOVD (Service Oriented Vehicle Diagnostics).

For our customers, we have converted our expertise and long-term experience into a compact, modular range of training programs which is divided into practice-oriented user workshops and in-depth theoretical training seminars.
