Softing TDX – Tool Box for Designing and Managing individual Workshop Testers
Flexible Solution for Diagnostics and Flash Programming in After-Sales Service
Softing TDX is the ideal tool support for OEMs and component manufacturers for creating and maintaining an individual, modular repair shop tester with integrated role and user management. Manufacturers of vehicles, mobile working machinery as well as their ECUs can thus provide control-unit and problem-specific repair and maintenance procedures within their worldwide service network whilst taking security aspects into account. This makes it possible for technicians on site to carry out efficient maintenance and repairs. All necessary diagnostic functions for error localization, troubleshooting and the commissioning of individual components or entire vehicles are supported.
Areas of Application
- Service repair shops of vehicle manufacturers
- Service repair shops of component manufacturers, also in the retrofit market
- Repair shops in the engineering sector, e.g. in road tests
- Mobile diagnostic systems for service technicians
Advantages
- Lean diagnostic solution based on laptop or tablet, vehicle interface (VCI) and state-of-the-art software
- Flexible diagnostic methodology (ECU-, symptom-, function-based)
- Unlimited diagnostic functionality
- Comprehensive report functionalities
- Fully adaptable to individual requirements (diagnostic sequences, diagnostic content, operating logic, corporate design, languages)
- Can be operated using a touchscreen
- Future-proof due to the use of international standards (e.g. OTX, ODX, UDS)
- Security thanks to the management of roles and user rights
- Automated updates of the software and diagnostic content

Overview
Three Tools, One Goal: Fast, Efficient Diagnostics in After-Sales Service
With the aim of making diagnostics as efficient as possible and thus saving time, the Softing TDX toolbox enables optimal tool support for the independent creation and maintenance of a diagnostic tester in all phases of the DESIGN - MANAGE - WORK workflow.
The DESIGN component Softing TDX.studio is used for the independent creation of a repair shop tester. Novel operating concepts can be realized and user interfaces designed absolutely freely until a proprietary corporate design (CD) has been completely implemented. Underlying processes and diagnostic data are stored, additional information, such as repair instructions, exploded drawings, videos and web content, is integrated and languages are defined in the intuitive development environment.
MANAGE is the job of the administrator tool Softing TDX.admin which is used to specify roles and user rights. Program and project functions can be activated and managed user-specifically via a central database. Role keys and certificates are distributed and maintained automatically. Updates of the software and diagnostic content can also be controlled from here.
WORK is the job of the actual repair shop tester Softing TDX.workshop. It provides optimal support for mechanics and service technicians on site when it comes to error localization, troubleshooting and the commissioning of individual components or entire vehicles and makes all the necessary diagnostic functions available from guided troubleshooting to ECU exchange/update. Depending on the error symptom, the approach to diagnostics can be ECU-, symptom- or function-based.
We would be happy to advise you on the development and implementation of your diagnostic concept. Or you can start independently and create your own diagnostic tester. Our intuitive tools support you throughout the process – from creation and testing to rollout and subsequent maintenance of the tester.
Integrated Security and User Rights Management
There is an incredible amount of expertise and potential to be protected from misuse in service applications – Softing TDX is ready to do just that. Licensing stops the software from being copied and user management prevents misuse. And the data on the hard disk is safe thanks to user-specific encryption. The integrated role concept offers functional limitations or approvals for different user groups, such as access to specific service functions exclusively for specially trained personnel.
Investment Protection thanks to International Standards
Softing TDX implements freely accessible, international diagnostic standards (ODX and OTX) and thus guarantees smooth interchangeability and distribution from engineering through to after-sales service as well as between several brands or manufacturers and suppliers.
