gRPC based
The openOBD project is built around an existing, open-source, technology: gRPC (a Remote Procedure Call technology introduced by Google). It works seamlessly together with a wide range of programming languages in which you can develop your diagnostic scripts.
The openOBD project seamlessly integrates with the existing technology of Jifeline Networks, enabling partner companies to access vehicles’ on-board diagnostics (OBD) ports remotely via the internet.
openOBD project keeps your diagnostic creations in your hands. Because the code resides in your own environment, you retain complete ownership of your intellectual property. This means you stay in control of how you use and distribute your knowledge.
What it provides
To facilitate this, openOBD v1 provides, next to the actual connection to the vehicle;
- The ability to interact with the technician in the workshop via the standard
xxx.obd.helpwebportal
- Metadata about the vehicle connection, battery voltage, quality of the internet connection etc.
- Integration with the Jifeline Partner API, e.g. to start your On-Board Diagnostics procedures in your own tickets and manage the running openOBD sessions
The benefits of openOBD
openOBD offers a range of advantages as it: improves the efficiency of your helpdesk, eliminates the need to wait for remote technician assistance by automating common procedures, enhances your service towards your customers (e.g. by adding automatically generated fault code reports to each of your tickets), and could even generate extra income by selling these services to other partners (simply via an insource/outsource relationship). It also improves your remote diagnostics workflow, saving time and providing a consistent experience for your customers.
Faster access, quicker fixes
Connect directly to your vehicle’s OBD2 port through Jifeline Networks’ infrastructure. Create custom diagnostic procedures in your preferred programming language to streamline remote repairs and support your team.
Boost efficiency, delight customers
Revolutionise your helpdesk, automate diagnostic jobs, and impress customers with detailed fault code reports. Generate additional revenue by sharing your expertise with partners.
Open, flexible and secure
Leverage the power of open-source gRPC technology to build and own your diagnostic solutions. Benefit from seamless integration with Jifeline Networks while maintaining complete control of your intellectual property.
