diagnostics information and the communica- tion with vehicles, has been separated into an individual module, the so-called diagnostics server. This server provides a web-service in- terface for access to all data relevant for the presentation of diagnostic information. Thus, the compatibility with legacy diagnostics and old vehicle generations is secured. At the same time a newly designed web-client pro- vides smooth integration of the diagnostics system into the overall service information system. The web-service interface facilitates remote access to the diagnostics server as well as con- current access by several co-operating clients. The live connection is further improved by pro- viding all textual information to any client in his own language. Thus, a support expert speak- ing e.g. German can support a Korean col- league without a language barrier. The accessibility of a diagnostic session by several users also provides the means to ac- cess that session from several mobile devices. Thus, a technician can optimize his work per- formance by using e.g. a tablet computer, his smartphone, or modern data glasses to display data and instructions from the diagnostic sys- tem. The new approach also provides the oppor- tunity to move the diagnostic system as well as its underlying database into the vehicle. This is made possible by the diagnostics server design making it independent of any user in- terface. Thus, a technician is no longer required to maintain diagnostic information for potentially all vehicle variants and gener- ations on his computer. First steps have al- ready been taken to have the diagnostics sys- tem run on a web-enabled on-board computer in the medium-term. The diagnostic system and engineering service provider ServiceXpert supports customers like STILL GmbH in the customer-specific adapta- tion of the diagnostic system DiaMon. The sys- tem is continuously extended by state-of-the- art functionality. ServiceXpert’s engineers have interpreted diagnostics for 20 years as a com- prehensive feature ranging from vehicle devel- opment to after-sales service.

The new MOTOMAN GP series is here. A precise pacesetter that will be setting the tempo from now on. Acceleration, axis speed and cycle times have been further enhanced, while start-up time has been reduced. So the MOTOMAN GP7, GP8, GP12 or GP25 could enter the Robot Grand Prix right now – or simply find its way straight to you. After all, you can be sure it will set the pace in terms of performance and cost efficiency. PAC E S E T T E R Hall 7, Booth 7205 8. – 11. October 2018 Stuttgart
