The partnership of Hella and ADAC is to be expanded. The two-year teamwork has resulted in the telematics project ‘ADAC Smart Connect?.
ADAC Smart Connect is a cloud-based system that enables fault-based initial diagnosis of a vehicle remotely. The core of the system is a digital product developed by Hella Gutmann in cooperation with French telematics specialist Munic S.A. under the project name macsLive. It provides mobility service providers, fleet operators and insurers with valuable information that helps keep vehicles mobile to the maximum. Workshops and drivers also benefit from the early, information transfer between the vehicle and a technical control center. The only requirement is that the telematics dongle must be inserted in the OBD interface of the vehicle involved. Only relevant vehicle and system diagnostic data (such as fault codes, parameters, etc.) is then transmitted by radio to the ADAC or Hella Gutmann cloud. On this basis, experts can make the decision about necessary actions – such as the mobile deployment of a technician with the appropriate battery or the information of a workshop.
