SAE and Technical Policy Analysis Shuvo Bhattacharjee ETAS Inc. – Diagnostic Systems shuvo.bhattacharjee@etas.com
What is SAE’ interest with NASTF? • SAE interest in consultative problem solving in the automotive industry • Huge resource pool of industry professionals • Pool includes experts from OEM, IAM and tool manufacturers • Capability to influence legislation and find industry wide best practices • E.g. J2534, and J1939 • SAE wants to reach out to industry groups to find areas of partnerships • NASTF is one area of interest • Political neutrality of SAE analysis and output can benefit political topics • Highly technical focus in problem resolution • Engineering Meetings Board (SAE.EMB) has directed STPC to engage industry’ Service Technology issues • STPC Service Technology Program Committee • Forum targeted towards addressing service issues collaboratively between OEM and suppliers (OEM & IAM) • Objective includes technical outputs to address service technology issues
What are STPC’s activities? • Membership driven organization, highly specialized in service and off-board diagnostics implementation
What are STPC’s street credentials? • Classical activities: • Hosting technical forums at major symposium (OBD, SAE Congress, COMVEC, DoD) • New drives & activities: • Market survey regarding service information efficiency • Survey of service technician professions (engineers, developers, technicians) • Technical Analysis of political issues (Policy Center) • Service Readiness Gaps • Global Service Information • Pictorial Service Information
What is the Policy Center? • Provide technical analysis towards resolution of complex industry issues • First topic – Service Readiness Gap • Championed by Mark Saxonberg and Charlie Gorman • Definition: • Identify value of service information in OEM and IAM service centers • Identify areas of gap in service readiness in IAM compared to OEM dealerships • Identify impacts of this gap • Why does this gap persist? What are the drivers for this gap? • How can this gap be resolved most efficiently • Validate the proposed solution • Drive a recommended practice • Drive standardization activities
How can it benefit OEM, Tier1 Suppliers, and IAM? • Standard format for data exchange • Optimized solution for tool manufacturers for data exchange between OEM, Tier 1 suppliers, IAM, etc. • E.g. NA specific ODX and OTX formats • Tools to process standard data format • Reduce effort and cost in processing OEM data • Better diagnosis of vehicles in IAM, improved customer experience • Retention of key OEM IP security • Improved exchange of vehicle failure data over longer life cycles • Development of newer methods for prognostics and predictive diagnostics • Reduction in complex legislation driven requirements • E.g. EU 5/6
