Remote Diagnostic Tool for Automotive Telematics
Transforming wired automotive diagnostic kits into a mobile-first, scalable telematics platform for real-time vehicle health insights.
Client
European R&D arm of a global premium and commercial vehicle manufacturer.
Problem Statement
Legacy wired diagnostic kits limited accessibility, scalability, and timely insights for vehicle fault detection across global workshops.
Industry
Solution
Quick Summary
- Developed a cloud-native remote diagnostic application replacing bulky wired kits with a pocket-sized mobile tool.
- Enabled technicians to scan, diagnose, and forecast faults using real-time telematics, data analytics, and guided repair intelligence.
- Improved diagnostic efficiency and turnaround times; enhanced customer satisfaction through preventive maintenance and remote support.
Client
Based in Europe, the client is the innovation hub for a leading global automotive manufacturer, driving R&D, product engineering, and IT for premium passenger and commercial vehicles.
Challenges
- Dependency on a single wired diagnostic kit per workshop slowed service operations
- Legacy monolithic prototypes made deployments heavy (2.5 GB builds) and time-consuming
- No unified mechanism to share or sync vehicle data across multiple technicians
- Diagnosis relied solely on fault codes, ignoring customer-reported concerns and on-road symptoms
QBurst Solution: Cloud-Native Remote Diagnosis
QBurst modernized the client’s prototype into a telematics-enabled, microservices-driven mobile application that allows technicians to diagnose vehicle faults anytime, anywhere. Key solution elements:
- Cloud-hosted microservices with auto-scaling and real-time monitoring
- PWA + mobile apps for frictionless access across iOS, Android, and browsers
- VIN scanning, guided tests, repair forecasting, and historical fault correlation
- API ecosystem enabling diagnosis from service centers and remote locations
- Multi-user collaboration with secure data syncing per vehicle case
- Compliance with EU regulatory standards for ISPs access
The deployment pipeline (CI/CD) ensured rapid, stable releases with minimal developer effort.
Implementation Highlights
- Auto-scalable backend using Kubernetes HPA
- Zero-downtime deployments with rolling updates
- Horizontal load testing for global user scale
