Episode 13 "Modern Workshop Tester" | Ed & Ted – Get it Done!

The increasing number of software functions and variants in vehicles leads to increased complexity over the entire vehicle life cycle. Software updates are becoming increasingly frequent and relevant, even after the vehicle has been delivered, in order to optimize functions, rectify faults or activate new features. These must be carried out efficiently and without errors. At the same time, diagnostic processes are becoming increasingly demanding due to the large amount of data and interfaces. In particular, they must reliably map the high variance in the vehicle configuration. Softing TDX offers exactly the right tool support for a modern diagnostic tester in aftersales.

The Machine Has To Work!

Technical Article: The Machine Has To Work!

After-sales service provides service networks for vehicles and machinery – often on a world-wide scale. These generally pursue one goal: to reduce downtimes and thus the total cost of ownership (TCO). The core business includes fast, targeted maintenance and repair. This not only requires the use of an efficient repair shop tester, but also places special demands on its worldwide availability and updatability via a modern back end.

Non-Identical Twins: Repair Shop Diagnostics and Authorization Management

There are tens of thousands of individual repair shop testers in the field today. On top of that, they are deployed all over the world by different users with different requirements and authorizations. Improper handling can lead to serious damage. This multi-user scenario can only be mastered with an appropriate allocation of tester functions and central administration. Integrated authorization management fits into the core processes and, furthermore, offers additional security.

Softing TDX.admin – Configuration Tool for Central Role and User Management

The large number of diagnostic tester installations (Softing TDX.workshop) all over the world makes the efficient management of role and user authorizations particularly important. In addition, ensuring consistent, automated and centrally controlled updates of software and its diagnostic content, such as repair instructions and diagnostic trees, is of particular importance for the use of the diagnostic tester in the repair shop area. We meet these challenges with Softing TDX.admin, a backend administrator tool from the Softing TDX toolkit.

NEW: Softing TDX Release 2.2 Enables the Dynamic Loading & Supplementing of Diagnostic Projects

Softing TDX Release 2.2 Enables the Dynamic Loading & Supplementing of Diagnostic Projects

A frequent challenge for diagnostics in the field, particularly in the machine environment, is that the ECU configuration of the machine is not known in advance and that a diagnostic project may have to be adapted or supplemented dynamically during runtime. With the new version 2.2. of the repair shop tool Softing TDX, it is possible to load and even supplement diagnostic projects dynamically, depending on the machine configuration.
