I’ve spent quite a bit of time lately thinking about something I see regularly when working with vehicle diagnostics.
A technician can spend hours finding the cause of a difficult fault, repair the vehicle and send it back to the customer.
A few weeks later, another technician somewhere else can be dealing with almost exactly the same problem and start the diagnosis from scratch.
There are obviously already a lot of diagnostic tools and technical information available.
But I think there is still a lot we could do with the experience technicians create while actually solving faults.
That thought has turned into a project I’ve called ADIP – Automotive Diagnostic Intelligence Platform.
I’m currently building an early prototype around diagnostics, real repair cases and knowledge sharing between technicians. AI will also be part of it, but I don’t want AI to replace the technician. I want it to help make better use of the knowledge technicians already have.
It’s still early, and there is a lot to figure out.
But it’s now more than an idea on a piece of paper.
