Software-defined vehicles demand new diagnostic concepts. Discover how Softing’s hybrid solution with UDS and SOVD ensures seamless, efficient, and future-proof vehicle diagnostics.
Software-defined vehicles require new diagnostic concepts. Learn how the new standard SOVD (Service Oriented Vehicle Diagnostics) enables efficient, remote, and in-vehicle diagnostics and what this means for workshops and aftersales.
Increasing software volumes and shorter development cycles require new flashing methods for ECUs. Parallel installation reduces update times, saves resources, and boosts efficiency.
Modern vehicles require diagnostic tools – and systematic training is needed to learn how to use them. However, real vehicles are often difficult to obtain, test spaces are limited, and the effort involved is high. In our Solution Spotlight video "Effective Trainings with Diagnostic Simulation" we show how diagnostic simulations can be used to create practical training environments that set completely new standards in education and training.
Practical vehicle diagnostics training – without real cars. Softing TCS simulates ECU and vehicle behavior safely, efficiently and flexibly.
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.
Optimize ECU programming in software-defined vehicles with parallel access. Learn how to accelerate updates, reduce costs, and streamline flash programming in prototyping and series production – join our webinar!
Nominated for Product of the Year 2025! Our new Smart Vehicle Interface (Softing SVI) for vehicle communication in the gigabit range has been nominated for the readers' choice “Product of the Year 2025” by WEKA Fachmedien GmbH (Editorial Department Electronics)! The Smart Vehicle Interface Softing SVI is a high-performance platform for modern ECU communication.
While the connection to the vehicle was established via a cable, vehicle communication in today's remote scenarios is much more complex. Softing offers a broker solution that allows you to clearly identify numerous communication partners, such as applications and vehicle interfaces, and establish a secure connection throughout the vehicle's lifecycle. Communication partners, access rights and software versions are managed via an intuitive web application, providing maximum flexibility for remote diagnostic and test scenarios.
A typical diagnostic system is made up of several components: The comprehensive test application runs on a PC and is connected to the vehicle via a hardware interface (VCI) by cable or wirelessly. However, in applications where frequent vehicle changes or recurring test and flash processes are required, this system can often be too complex, unwieldy and costly. In addition, extensive expertise is required to ensure correct diagnostics and avoid damage to the software, hardware or vehicle. The VIN|ING 2000 PDX is a simplified solution.
