Webinar | Managing WiFi Challenges in Diagnostic Use Cases

WiFi-based communication has become standard in modern workshops. However, unstable connections, high latencies, and network disruptions often compromise smooth diagnostic processes – especially in demanding use cases like flashing or end-of-line testing. Join our free webinar on July 17, 2025, and learn how to manage these WiFi challenges in diagnostic use cases.

SOVD – Diagnostic Standard for Software-Defined Vehicle (SDV)

SOVD (Service-Oriented Vehicle Diagnostics) is the new ASAM standard enabling modern, secure, and standardized access to vehicle diagnostics via IP — locally, remotely, or through the cloud. Designed for SDVs and future-proof mobility concepts.

New High-Speed Interface "Softing SVI" for Vehicle Communication in the Gigabit Range

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).

Reference Book | Vehicle Diagnostics – Basics, Bus Systems, Protocols, Applications

We congratulate our esteemed colleague Peter Subke on the publication of his third technical book "Vehicle Diagnostics – Fundamentals, Bus Systems, Protocols, Applications." The book supports engineers and technicians from development, testing, production and service at vehicle manufacturers and suppliers who deal with mechatronic systems, their data exchange and diagnostic protocols or services and who are interested in innovations based on networked and intelligent electronic systems. This specialised book is also an excellent source of information for students of electrical engineering, automotive engineering and computer science at universities, technical colleges and vocational schools.

All-in-One Diagnostic Testing with Ed & Ted – Get it Done!

Have you ever wondered how practical it would be to combine all diagnostic functions in one single tool? The Softing Diagnostic Tool Set is an intuitive diagnostic tool for the entire range of use cases in both vehicle engineering and development as well as diagnostics, from ECU testing to vehicle release in engineering, testing and manufacturing.

Vehicle Data in Human Readable Form with Ed & Ted – Get it Done!

A fully equipped vehicle produces several gigabits of data per second. In particular, this data provides information about the technical condition of the vehicle. In raw format and also in standardized data description formats, however, this data is generally not comprehensible to humans. Therefore, they are interpreted by software and converted into human-readable information. Softing's Smart Diagnostic Engine (SDA) is a platform-independent runtime system that interprets and executes diagnostic functions, simple diagnostic services and even complex and automated diagnostic sequences for precisely this purpose.

"Solution Spotlights" | Get to know our new short videos!

Our new video series "Solution Spotlights" is now available for you. Our trainers use practical examples to introduce you to the challenges of automotive electronics as well as concrete solution approaches and their benefits. The short videos are not only suitable for experts, but also for beginners from the areas of development, production as well as aftersales. Each topic is explained in an easy-to-understand manner and is also clearly illustrated by a short demo of the use case from practice.
