Experience the new Diagnostics Platform live

Every repair begins with a clear diagnosis.

In this live session, you’ll see the next generation of modern workshop diagnostics in action, right at the vehicle. We’ll demonstrate how a future-oriented diagnostics platform guides technicians through the diagnostic process, helping them to work more efficiently, make more informed decisions and turn complex fault-finding into profitable workshop services.

Furthermore, we’ll provide an outlook on how modern AI-powered technologies will have a lasting impact on the world of diagnostics. Using future AI-based diagnostic support as an example, we’ll demonstrate how workshops will be able to identify correlations even more quickly, narrow down the causes of faults and optimise repair processes in the future.

The platform is already prepared for this next stage of development.

Come along and experience the future of workshop diagnostics first-hand – and find out where diagnostics, data and intelligent support are heading next.

The live sessions will take place in English on Wednesday and Thursday, and in German on Friday and Saturday.
