We are looking forward to continuing our successful partnerships and collaborations next year! https://automotive.softing.com/service/automotive-blog/new-softing-tdx-release-25-smarter-updates-simplified-support-and-superior-usability.htmlhttps://automotive.softing.com/service/automotive-blog/new-softing-tdx-release-25-smarter-updates-simplified-support-and-superior-usability.html#commentsMon, 06 Dec 2021 15:59:00 +0100Marion Menacherhttps://automotive.softing.com/service/automotive-blog/new-softing-tdx-release-25-smarter-updates-simplified-support-and-superior-usability.htmlThe new release 2.5 of the repair shop tester Softing TDX is now available. The new version makes it possible to define mandatory updates for programs and content, handle VCI configurations more conveniently and reduce cases of support thanks to additional information. Rights and user management have been further simplified to improve usability. https://automotive.softing.com/service/automotive-blog/invitation-to-the-softing-automotive-convention-october-20-21-2021-1.htmlhttps://automotive.softing.com/service/automotive-blog/invitation-to-the-softing-automotive-convention-october-20-21-2021-1.html#commentsFri, 08 Oct 2021 14:30:00 +0200https://automotive.softing.com/service/automotive-blog/invitation-to-the-softing-automotive-convention-october-20-21-2021-1.htmlShared mobility is one of the major trends of future mobility, particularly in urban regions. Large fleet operators, such as rental car and car sharing companies, also see enormous growth potential in this area. However, an essential prerequisite for this is continual, precise knowledge not only of the location of every individual vehicle, but also of that vehicle’s overall technical condition. The medium-term goal of stationless and contactless fleet management needs new real-time diagnostics and reporting technologies for each vehicle in use. With around 255,000 rental and car sharing vehicles in Germany, “Car to Cloud to Company” will be a critical technology when it comes to efficient and inexpensive fleet deployment. This is why GlobalmatiX AG, a subsidiary of Softing AG, Munich/Haar, has developed an innovative telematics solution, which, with the help of artificial intelligence, offers the greatest amount of available data and transfer security on the market. https://automotive.softing.com/service/automotive-blog/invitation-to-the-softing-automotive-convention-october-20-21-2021.htmlhttps://automotive.softing.com/service/automotive-blog/invitation-to-the-softing-automotive-convention-october-20-21-2021.html#commentsWed, 29 Sep 2021 14:30:00 +0200https://automotive.softing.com/service/automotive-blog/invitation-to-the-softing-automotive-convention-october-20-21-2021.htmlWe are pleased to invite you to the next virtual "Softing Automotive Convention" on October 20 and 21, 2021. In our virtual showroom, you will have the opportunity to experience our software solutions and exhibits easily in your office or from home. In addition you can expect various live demos and presentations. https://automotive.softing.com/service/automotive-blog/design-templates-in-high-end-quality-reduce-the-effort-involved-in-tester-implementation.htmlhttps://automotive.softing.com/service/automotive-blog/design-templates-in-high-end-quality-reduce-the-effort-involved-in-tester-implementation.html#commentsThu, 23 Sep 2021 13:42:00 +0200https://automotive.softing.com/service/automotive-blog/design-templates-in-high-end-quality-reduce-the-effort-involved-in-tester-implementation.htmlUsers make high demands on the interface and the operating concept of today’s diagnostic testers. An intuitive user interface reduces both the time required for users to familiarize themselves with the tester and the usage time for diagnostic tasks during daily work. Creating elaborate, platform-independent testers is complicated and takes a lot of time – time that is often simply not available. Support from suitable editor tools, cross-platform development as well as prefabricated design templates can help. The effort involved in creating anything from individual functions to a complete diagnostic tester in a bespoke design is thus reduced considerably. https://automotive.softing.com/service/automotive-blog/caution-high-voltage.htmlhttps://automotive.softing.com/service/automotive-blog/caution-high-voltage.html#commentsMon, 06 Sep 2021 13:42:00 +0200https://automotive.softing.com/service/automotive-blog/caution-high-voltage.htmlNowadays, the development of vehicle components and their integration into the vehicle are hardly conceivable without high-voltage technology. The demands made on the electronic testing and verification systems used for this purpose are extremely high and diverse – particularly in the case of electric and hybrid vehicles. Here, safe measurement, testing, verification and application in the high-voltage range are just as important as knowing how to handle complex ECUs or use transparent and reproducible test procedures. Ideally, the tests and checks run automatically with processes and test results recorded accordingly for the necessary proof and certification. This also requires suitable simulations and HV-compatible accessories. https://automotive.softing.com/service/automotive-blog/discover-our-trainings-for-your-professional-education.htmlhttps://automotive.softing.com/service/automotive-blog/discover-our-trainings-for-your-professional-education.html#commentsMon, 02 Aug 2021 09:56:00 +0200https://automotive.softing.com/service/automotive-blog/discover-our-trainings-for-your-professional-education.htmlWe have put our knowledge and long years of experience into a compact and modular training program for you. This comprises practice-oriented user workshops as well as in-depth theoretical seminars which we offer in both English and German. We would be happy to tailor the content of our training sessions to suit your individual requirements. https://automotive.softing.com/service/automotive-blog/vining-2000-the-high-performance-manufacturing-solution.htmlhttps://automotive.softing.com/service/automotive-blog/vining-2000-the-high-performance-manufacturing-solution.html#commentsTue, 20 Jul 2021 15:22:00 +0200https://automotive.softing.com/service/automotive-blog/vining-2000-the-high-performance-manufacturing-solution.htmlIn vehicle manufacturing, very high demands are placed on timing, performance and system stability. For the vehicle communication interface (VCI), this means that the protocol stack for the communication software is executed in real time on the VCI without interruption and that communication with the host PC takes place via a powerful interface. Special requirements are also made of connection management to ensure and control secure access to a large number of VCIs. Softing´s answer to these high demands in manufacturing is the VCI VIN|ING 2000. https://automotive.softing.com/service/automotive-blog/efficient-scalable-diagnostics-on-the-test-carrier-even-when-working-at-home.htmlhttps://automotive.softing.com/service/automotive-blog/efficient-scalable-diagnostics-on-the-test-carrier-even-when-working-at-home.html#commentsWed, 07 Jul 2021 13:46:00 +0200https://automotive.softing.com/service/automotive-blog/efficient-scalable-diagnostics-on-the-test-carrier-even-when-working-at-home.htmlReading out and documenting vehicles during and at the end of a test day is extremely time consuming. An interface is plugged into the test carrier, the tester application is connected, and automatic or interactive tests are performed. The procedure is repeated – per vehicle and per readout time, for example before and after a test drive. The solution for efficient and scalable diagnostics even when working at home is Softing DTS.monaco in combination with the VCI VIN|ING 2000. https://automotive.softing.com/service/automotive-blog/mastering-flexibility-in-flash-programming.htmlhttps://automotive.softing.com/service/automotive-blog/mastering-flexibility-in-flash-programming.html#commentsMon, 28 Jun 2021 11:16:00 +0200https://automotive.softing.com/service/automotive-blog/mastering-flexibility-in-flash-programming.htmlThe flash programming of electronic control units (ECUs) in vehicles has now become widely accepted: There are anywhere between 3 and 120 ECUs depending on the market segment. These can usually be supplied with new software directly or via a gateway using a tester. This capability is used in a number of ways, although a vehicle interface currently has to be plugged in to mediate between the programming application and the ECUs. In the future, over-the-air updates will open up further possibilities.
