JOIN USMahindra & Mahindra (M&M) has announced the launch of ‘miniSMART’, a smartphone/Android-based and cloud-enabled diagnostic solution for workshops.
M&M’s miniSMART is an advanced solution to troubleshoot vehicle systems, and marks a shift in the field of workshop diagnostics — from heavy laptops and expensive wired vehicle interface devices to low-cost smartphones and wireless vehicle interface devices having cloud-based authentication. The solution will enable its dealers to equip workshop technicians and supervisors with advanced tools at a fraction of the cost of traditional laptop-based solutions, M&M said.
Mahindra is the first OEM in India to launch such a technology for workshop diagnostics that effectively brings down the cost of ownership for Mahindra vehicles.
M&M Head (Vehicle Systems) and Principal Chief Engineer Srinivas Aravapalli said, “miniSMART will empower Mahindra’s vehicle technicians to quickly diagnose and troubleshoot faults in various complex vehicle systems, thereby resulting in faster turnaround time of Mahindra vehicles at its workshops. Further, this will lead to a better ownership experience for Mahindra customers and a reduced life time ownership cost.”
