Carmunication online survey
Summary
Details
Details
1) Turning car and user data into a personalized repair and maintenance plan |
|
| Personalized Repair Assistant The Personalized Repair Assistant manages the entire customer experience, providing predictive maintenance recommendations based on user data, but also locating workshops, scheduling appointments, and organizing alternative mobility. With increasing electrification and fleet growth, the service prevents breakdowns, facilitates coordination efforts and ensures cost savings. Collaboration among Carmunication members enables comprehensive end-to-end solutions that include detection, software, data and field maintenance. |
 |
2) Creating a brand independent app store via virtual sandbox
|
|
| Sandbox for Individual Features The Sandbox promotes third-party application development on a brand-agnostic vehicle platform for B2B and B2C vehicles. As the complexity of in-vehicle software increases, the Sandbox reduces development costs by providing a standardized, brand-independent developer experience. This also offers OEMs a ‘safe space’, by enabling them to gradually open their APIs. Carmunication members need to explore the technical feasibility and required permissions for seamless integration into the infotainment. |
 |
3) Optimizing fleet operating costs and availability with 360 Future Fleet |
|
| 360 Future Fleet 360 Future Fleet is an end-to-end, data-driven fleet management solution for fleet operators. It reduces operating costs and increases fleet uptime through connectivity, analytics and seamless integration with third-party fleet service providers. Carmunication members can integrate their expertise in dongles, connectivity and workshop networks to systematically service the growing number of fleet vehicles. |
 |
4) Creating an attractive and future-proof independent aftermarket education program |
|
| Education Program The training program aims to make jobs in the aftermarket more attractive and to respond to changing skill demands. As part of the program, trainees rotate between Carmunication and external organizations and share insights at regular meetings and on online platforms to adapt to new market demands (software, data, electrification). The diverse expertise of Carmunication’s members allows for a practical design of the program and effective integration into the current apprenticeship structure. |
 |
5) Fostering development and implementation through a joint Data Solution Lab |
|
| Data Solution Lab The Data Solution Lab is a joint platform for the development and commercialization of data and software services. Through a collaborative approach, the Data Solution Lab mitigates the financial risk for individual Carmunication members. By providing a structured view of vehicle data, it enables Carmunication members to collaborate on new service ideas and integrate them into market-ready offerings. The platform provides support for technical issues and for establishing the right working mode between members. |
 |
6) Providing a unified access to vehicle data via a VIN Platform |
|
| VIN Platform Powered by data from independent repair shops, the VIN Platform provides VIN-based static/dynamic data sets (e.g., breakdowns, mileage, spare parts, etc.) for monetization. As the complexity of vehicle data increases, the platform defends against market exclusion by OEMs, allowing members to monetize their data assets. Carmunication members and partners can work together to feed data into the platform, but also pursue their own implementation and monetization options. |
 |
7) Ensuring reliable vehicle service history trough Blockchain “trusted” workshops |
|
| Blockchain „trusted“ workshops Independent repair shops can record changes and modifications (e.g., part change, regular maintenance, etc.) to the car on a tamper-proof blockchain, helping to make used car pricing more accurate. Certifications capture authenticity and reliability, critical for integrating vehicles into Second Life applications. Communication members can either implement (one or more) existing blockchain solutions, or develop a new one specifically for the needs of the independent aftermarket. |
 |
8) Maximizing EV batteries value with Battery Residual Value & Maintenance Cost Forecaster |
|
| Battery Residual Value & Maintenance Cost Forecaster The Battery Residual Value & Maintenance Cost Forecaster helps fleet operators, OEMs and individual drivers predict the residual value and associated maintenance costs of the EV battery. Based on robust depreciation models for different battery types, recommendations are provided on when to resell at the perfect price point. Carmunication members can use their exclusive access to EVs and their battery usage/break-down data to build bottom-up depreciation models. |
 |
9) Providing the right software update for all vehicles via a software catalog |
|
| Software Catalog The Software Catalog provides the right software update for each vehicle based on its VIN number. Today, there is a wide variety of makes, models and software platforms available, making a vehicle software update complex (which update fits which model?). Carmunication members use the catalog to provide clarity on model update compatibility, especially for safety-critical components that need to be updated in the shop. |
 |
10) Providing cost-effective access to calibration equipment with the Autonomous Driving & ADASADAS – Advanced Driver Assistance System – supports the driver with the handling of the automotive. They are often used to increase the safety, efficiency or the comfort of the ride. The systems use sensors to record the driving situation, process the collected information with the aid of computer technology and provide the driver with visual, acoustic or haptic feedback. In some cases, they intervene autonomously or semi-autonomously in the control and operation of the vehicle, for example by operating the accelerator, brake, signaling or steering. This can extend all the way to fully autonom… More Calibration Hub |
