Our Vision

Core Offerings

We follow a platform based approach (KPITs Diagnostic and Connectivity Platform), to offer standard products for almost all possible application scenarios relating to on-board, off-board and connected diagnostics in engineering, production and service.

Based on this platform we are creating the best fitting solutions for our customers and integrating with their existing processes and IT landscape.

K-DCP ENGINEERING TOOLCHAIN The K-DCP Engineering toolchain is an integrated toolset which caters to all diagnostic engineering use-cases and processes across the OE vehicle development flow. The toolchain has been designed to embrace and leverage the benefits of data re-usability, transparency and uniformity.

The K-DCP Engineering platform enables > 30 % reduction in authoring efforts, with improved and consistent data quality

It enables the OEM system, component and function engineers to seamlessly execute activities ranging from

The Engineering platform’s integrated environment provides complete transparency based on dashboards visualizing the ECU lifecycle and diagnostic maturity at corresponding quality gates.

Through complete integration with the OE IT systems, the platform allows the users to move away from a file based data management approach, whilst accessing a centralized data store.

The journey utilizing the K-DCP Engineering toolchain ends with a successful and validated delivery to all downstream customers.

The K-DCP Aftersales suite drives 30% faster diagnostics, whilst improving service technician productivity by up to 40%

K-DCP AFTERSALES SUITEKPIT has leveraged its extensive and rich expertise in aftersales solutions, specifically for OEM dealerships, to develop its next-generation Aftersales suite. This suite enables dealerships to perform a host of activities ranging from basic functionalities like fault reading, to advanced utilities like intelligent guided diagnostics and root cause repair.

The K-DCP Aftersales suite is designed to run on multiple platforms like desktop, mobile, cloud and in-vehicle, whilst catering to both local and remote application use-cases.

The built-in assisted troubleshooting functionality enables service engineers to already test functionality during remote diagnosis and to make conclusions from the fault pattern or possible symptoms. The solution tracks the most critical aftersales metrics i.e. Fix-first-visit (FFV) and repair turnaround time. Enablement of visualization techniques (AR & VR) furthermore enhances the platform’s capability of assisted troubleshooting.

A machine-learning based root cause analysis system leverages a learning loop to process and analyze large amounts of vehicle health and status data, identify clusters of failures, and provide optimized fault-identification steps and predictive alerts.

All KPIT platforms support authorization and authentication using KPIT’s License system (LIMAS), including capabilities for application and data updates.

K-DCP CONNECTED DIAGNOSTICS SOLUTIONThe KPIT ‘Connected Diagnostics’ solution utilizes its proven diagnostics products and services to deliver a standards-based, scalable and an end-to-end solution.

K-DCP Business Integration enables better reliability, higher reusability and lower development cost of diagnostics data

K-DCP BUSINESS INTEGRATION KPIT provides custom integration components and consultancy in order to enable integration of K-DCP offerings with their enterprise environment. This system level integration supports customers digitization needs and ensures utility of existing data assets & cross functional synergies.

The platform follows enterprise integration methodologies, with industry specifications like REST HAL, OPEN API, etc; to expose diagnostic data services within the diagnostic data development process.

It publishes diagnostic data to ECUs and tools in the field taking its hardware and software dependencies into account. The Diagnostic data store records all session data and is used as a base for analytics. The KPIT analytics platform uses this data for dashboarding and business impact measurements. On the same lines, vehicle data is used for machine learning to offer predictive maintenance and warranty reduction.

The platform mimics a standard software development process of Develop -> Compile -> Verify -> Reiterate for diagnostics. This ensures that ‘stored data’ is reliable and ‘deployable’.

The K-DCP connected diagnostics solution allows for the execution of some key use-cases which have the potential to accelerate vehicle issue resolution, improve vehicle uptime and enhance the overall customer experience.

A fully featured standards based diagnostic stack sits at the core of KPIT’s connected diagnostics solution. The stack is designed to operate in resource constrained environments such as a telematics control unit (TCU).

KPIT’s connected diagnostics solution is being readied for next generation service-oriented diagnostics for Adaptive Autosar/ high-performance controller (HPC) based connected vehicles.

A few of them are outlined below:• Over the air updates • Vehicle state monitoring• Vehicle state recovery
