Ihringen,Germany-Hella Gutmann Solutions GmbH, an automotive diagnostic tools and serves provider has developed cloud based telematics vehicle diagnostics tool MacsLive. The telematic recording of vehicle data Real-time data provide the basis for important analyses and decisions by technicians and race managers. Fleet operators, car manufacturers, insurers, breakdown services and garages could also benefit from good real-time data within a defined vehicle pool, either by recording and transmitting vehicle locations, driving patterns, signs of wear, fault codes or system parameters
The macsLive enables in-depth diagnostics of vehicles on the road, previously only possible in workshops. Its cloud-based platform allows for continuous, real-time monitoring and analysis of vehicle conditions. This enables experts to make the right decision about the necessary measures - such as the mobile deployment of a technician with the right component, efficient remote support, informing a workshop or recommending services to prevent damage.
As with existing telematics solutions, the macsLive dongle must remain permanently plugged into the vehicle's OBD socket. This is the only way to continuously record vehicle data and transmit it wirelessly to the cloud. However, the practical benefits of telematics solutions depend heavily on the depth and quality of the data and its analysis. Additionally, macsLive can, in certain cases, allow error codes to be deleted remotely, making it possible to continue the journey to a workshop temporarily. This is a clear added value, as it can help avoid the need for towing.
