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.

Webinar Recording Now Available | Parallel Vehicle Access

The recording of our webinar “Efficient Flash Programming through Parallel Vehicle Access” is now available. In this session, you’ll learn how parallel vehicle access significantly increases efficiency in development, testing, and production. Our experts demonstrate how simultaneous access to multiple vehicles – even across different projects – can accelerate flash and diagnostic processes. Real-world examples and a live demo provide valuable insights into the technical implementation.

New Solution Spotlight "Parallel ECU Programming"

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 Softing at the 18th Conference on Diagnostics

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”.

Technical Paper | Options for Introducing SOVD in SDV Architectures

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.
