SOVD (Service-Oriented Vehicle Diagnostics) is no longer just a future concept. OEMs are already implementing the ISO 17978 standard in production projects to enable efficient diagnostics for modern SDV architectures. In this webinar, Dr. Boris Böhlen and Dr. Diana Fischer provide insights into real-world projects and demonstrate how vehicle manufacturers are using SOVD (ISO 17978) for the diagnostics of HPCs and conventional ECUs.
Participants will learn why traditional diagnostic approaches are increasingly reaching their limits in HPC-based vehicle architectures and how API-based concepts open up new possibilities for scalability and flexibility. SOVD not only transforms diagnostics but also has an impact on all other processes. Based on production processes, it will be explained how SOVD can be integrated seamlessly into existing system landscapes and which optimisation opportunities this creates.
In addition, the experts will highlight how SOVD and existing UDS-based systems can successfully coexist. Using practical examples, they will present strategies and first steps for OEMs and suppliers to gradually integrate modern SDV diagnostic concepts into existing vehicle platforms.
