Hella Gutmann Solutions receives CLEPA Innovation Award 2023 for Automatic Diagnostics function

Hella Gutmann Solutions has received the Top Innovator 2023 Award in the Digital category of the CLEPA (European Association of Automotive Suppliers) Innovation Awards 2023. The awards were judged by an international jury of around 30 experts from science, industry and research centres. They were convinced by the groundbreaking development of the Automatic Diagnostics function recently implemented in the mega macs diagnostic software. The awards were announced on 18 October in Brussels.

“We are pleased that the high utility and importance of diagnostic automation in the face of increasingly complex vehicle systems is seen and honoured in expert circles,” says Hella Gutmann CSO Jörg Schläfke, who accepted the award in Brussels. “In fact, we are convinced that Automatic Diagnosis will soon be a standard feature in everyday workshop operations. We are proud to be able to make a small contribution to securing the future of IAM participants with this innovation.”

The Automatic Diagnosticsʼ function has recently become available without limitation to garages using a current diagnostic device with SDI software from Hella Gutmann Solutions. For the first time, it combines experience and data from 30 years of system diagnostics on vehicles with artificial intelligence (AI). If the automatic mode is selected on the device display, an entire process chain runs automatically in less than five minutes, which ends with the cause of the fault being narrowed down to a specific component. Hella Gutmann says the function offers 25 per cent quicker diagnostic processes and more accurate part orders.
