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.
Watch the recording of our webinar “Achieving 100% Regression Test Coverage with Diagnostic Simulation” with Lukas Kazenwadel and Dirk Pawels. Learn how diagnostic simulation enables complete regression test coverage.
Join our webinar “Achieving 100 % Regression Test Coverage with Diagnostic Simulation” and learn how diagnostic simulation and automation can help you achieve maximum test coverage – efficiently, error-free, and without physical vehicles or ECUs.
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.
Discover the latest trends and technologies in on-board diagnostics live on site: Visit Softing Automotive at the OBD Symposium-Americas from September 9 to 11, 2025, in Garden Grove, California. Meet our experts at booth no. 4 and find out how we are helping to shape the future of vehicle diagnostics!
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 (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.
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).
We look forward to discussing the latest developments in vehicle diagnostics with you at the OBD Symposium and presenting our innovations and solutions.
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.
