General Automotive Diagnostics

In the auto industry, the electronic control of vehicles is advancing, and the number and functions of electronic control units (ECUs) are increasing.In the market, diagnostic equipment for dealers are advancing in terms of functionality, while diagnostic requirements for each ECU are becoming increasingly complex.This has made it difficult to rely solely on previous methods at development sites.Multiple competitors have now entered the market, making it essential to strike a balance between quality, cost, and delivery times, while also being able to handle a wide range of diagnostic tasks.

Leveraging our extensive expertise in vehicle diagnostics and communications cultivated over many years, along with our wide-ranging technical capabilities, we coordinated closely with the ECU design department, optimized diagnostic specifications, and streamlined the development process through collaboration with suppliers.We have consistently supported a wide range of operations centered around diagnostics, including fixing issues after market launch, ECU design focused on diagnostics, plant-based failure analysis, PMO for various vehicle projects, and regulatory and security compliance.

ATEC built diagnostic equipment primarily for dealerships, relying on the skills of our team of engineers who are well-versed in existing unified diagnostic services (UDS) and various diagnostic protocols.They worked closely with the ECU design department to handle all phases of the process, from identifying diagnostic requirements to developing specifications and conducting validation.We covered a wide range of processes, from conveying specifications to overseas suppliers to providing support after market launch.We flexibly accommodated individual requirements while delivering consistent quality.

We have provided extensive support for analyzing the causes of vehicle defects occurring at manufacturing plants, both in Japan and abroad.Through the collection and analysis of diagnostic data, we identify root causes early on-site and formulate recurrence prevention measures, contributing to stable production line operation.We also design and create actual diagnostic scenarios aligned with plant inspection processes, helping to reduce the on-site staff’s workload and improve quality.

As experts in vehicle diagnostics and communication, we are deeply involved in establishing diagnostic specifications and validation from the actual ECU design stage.Early detection and correction of design errors and specification omissions achieved improved development efficiency and quality.Additionally, we provide prompt technical support for issues arising at production sites and in the market, earning high praise for our role as a link between the production floor and the development department.
