Exciting Updates from Our Connected Vehicle Field Test 4.0 (CVFT)!
We’re thrilled to share the latest developments in our Connected Vehicle Field Test 4.0 (CVFT), which has recently seen a series of productive remote diagnostic tests in collaboration with our partners. As the automotive industry increasingly embraces connected technologies, these tests are pivotal in demonstrating how remote diagnostics can enhance vehicle maintenance and improve overall efficiency.
First Remote Diagnosis Test
We kicked off the first of our remote diagnostics sessions in collaboration with our partner Niterra. Our colleagues Alex and Tina convened at the technical center in Ratingen, where they collaborated with Niterra’s team. Supported by Christian and Andreas, who assisted remotely, the team embarked on a series of practical tests designed to assess the capabilities of our remote diagnostic tools in a controlled environment.
During this visit, we utilized the Hella Gutmann Tester for a comprehensive diagnostic session. The aim was to compare the results obtained from the traditional diagnostic approach with those gathered through our remote diagnostic methods. This comparative analysis is crucial in understanding the strengths and limitations.
Initial findings from the first test revealed that while the remote diagnostic solutions have made significant strides, there is still much ground to cover.
Second Remote Diagnosis Test
We conducted a second remote diagnostic session some weeks later. This time, our colleagues Tina and Christian joined forces with Kai from GlobalOne and Mario from Wesselsmüller at the BMW specialized independent workshop “Mamic.” Together, we carried out tests designed to simulate again a vehicle error.
During this session, we had the opportunity to showcase our Remote Maintenance Information (RMI) dashboard, a powerful tool designed to provide real-time insights into vehicle diagnostics. The dashboard proved to be an invaluable asset, enhancing maintenance efficiency and significantly reducing response times.
Insights and Future Directions
Armed with the valuable insights gained from both diagnostic sessions, our team is eager to delve deeper into the exploration of remote diagnostics. The next tests are scheduled and we are looking forward to the insights.
We keep moving forward!
The Connected Vehicle Field Test 4.0 is not just about testing technologies; it’s about forging partnerships and creating a network of innovation. As we continue to explore the potential of remote diagnostics, we invite you to stay tuned for more updates from our ongoing efforts. Together with our partners, we are paving the way for a smarter, more efficient future in vehicle maintenance. Keep an eye out for our next updates—exciting advancements are on the horizon! 🚀🔧
We appreciate your interest in our CVFT 4.0 initiative, and we look forward to sharing more insights and developments as we continue this journey toward revolutionizing the connected vehicle experience.
