Automotive Inspection System using Network-Based Computing Infrastructure

摘要

A connected service for automotive diagnostics offers an integration layer that forms a back bone to enable communication and dataflow that will allow technician to perform inspection and store the data in central data storage system. The system optionally includes integration with electronic multi-point inspection software. The system includes network services that enable establishment of a connection service framework that is compatible with diagnostic equipment from multiple manufacturers, a secure web administration console that allows both OEM & dealers to configure new equipment, select equipment, scan VIN & view completed results, and integration with equipment vendors based upon a standard web service contract.
