We are pleased to be equipping the automotive competence center of the Chamber of Crafts Frankfurt (Oder) – Region Ostbrandenburg in Hennickendorf, which is in the course of being set up, with the latest simulation and diagnostic technology for its innovative teaching concept! As one component of the “diagnostic test stations” supplied, the Softing TCS simulation boxes enable the mapping of vehicle networking via Automotive Ethernet (DoIP) as well as classically via CAN-FD. This makes it possible to simulate realistic error scenarios in vehicle communication and experience them in a practical way.

Softing Automotive offers a universal vehicle remote control system for the driverless operation of commercial vehicles of all drive types on roller test benches based on cost-effective industrial automation technology components. The concept was most recently implemented at the Daimler Truck plant in Wörth on the Road to Rig (R2R) commercial vehicle all-wheel drive chassis dynamometer. You can find out more about this use case in this article.

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).

Simulation in test preparation enables the verification of test routines and the entire test setup, which reduces the time required for troubleshooting. ODX-based diagnostic simulation improves test sequences, minimises test effort and ensures accurate fault detection. In our short Solution Spotlight video, Thomas Blocher explains the use case and shows how an ODX-based simulation project can be easily created and customised with Softing TCS.admin.

The 17th Conference on Diagnostics in Mechatronic Vehicle Systems will take place in Dresden on 14 and 15 May 2024. This year's topics will once again revolve around current challenges and new technologies in the field of testing, inspection and diagnosis of E/E systems in the vehicle in connection with the networked infrastructure, new assistance functions and the challenges of fulfilling legal requirements and standards. On Wednesday 15 May, Kay Lübkert (Project Manager at Softing Automotive) and Jürgen Heilmeier (Manager Innovation & Test, Softing Automotive) will provide you with exclusive insights into the requirements for vehicle access in the software-based vehicles.

To successfully manage the transition to the software-defined vehicle and ensure safety and performance in the increasingly digital vehicle world, Softing Automotive has developed an innovative solution for next-generation flash and test applications. Meet Softing Automotive at the ELIV Congress 2023 in Bonn to learn more about the next generation of vehicle test & flash solutions.

Simulations are used to increase efficiency and minimize risks throughout the vehicle life cycle. Solutions for diagnostic simulation of ECUs and vehicles enable process-safe regression testing of diagnostic testers ("test the tester"), facilitate the commissioning of test sequences, and provide the best possible training for employees, as all required vehicle variants, including fault patterns, can be easily simulated.

Softing Automotive is proud sponsor of the Formula Student Racing Team municHMotorsport e.V. of the University of Applied Sciences Munich. Since the 2022/23 season, we have been supporting the student racing team in the areas of vehicle electronics and software development. 

Increase efficiency with parallel access to ECUs and vehicles! Discover how parallel testing and updating of ECU software can help you significantly enhance engineering efficiency, improve vehicle quality, increase the flexibility of software management, and enable faster adaptation to changing requirements.

Meet Softing Automotive at COMVEC™ on September 19-21, 2023 in Schaumburg, Illinois, USA. The COMVEC™ Technology Connection is the convening point for the community that develops vehicles and equipment spanning the on-highway, off-highway (agriculture, construction, industrial), ground defense, and mining sectors.
