Why RemoteCall Mobile & Visual Support Was Needed

"We needed to address technicians’ lack of experience with diagnostic equipment and prevent unnecessary repairs."

The company’s service network spans the globe. However, when engineers at overseas dealers or service centers lacked familiarity with advanced vehicle diagnostic equipment, there was a risk of failing to accurately identify root causes or performing unnecessary part replacements—a problem known as “over-repair.”

The existing PC-to-PC remote control system had limitations in keeping up with the increasingly mobile and digital overseas service environment. An optimized solution was needed to assess on-site conditions in real time and enable clear communication between headquarters-based specialists and field engineers.


RemoteCall Was Integrated into the Mobile Diagnostic System

To address these challenges, the company integrated RemoteCall into its next-generation diagnostic system, KDS.

Usage Details

  • Remote Control of Mobile Diagnostic Devices: HQ experts remotely access and control field engineers’ mobile diagnostic devices from their PCs to conduct diagnostics.
  • Real-Time Video and Voice Guidance: Using the built-in camera on the diagnostic device, HQ experts visually inspect vehicle conditions in real time while providing voice guidance for precise technical communication.

Results Achieved with RemoteCall Visual Support

“Standardized Elevation of Global Service Network Quality”

The integration of KDS and RemoteCall established a standardized global maintenance service framework.

1. Improved Diagnostic Accuracy and Over-Repair Prevention

By enabling headquarters-based specialists and overseas engineers to view on-site conditions in real time and remotely operate diagnostic equipment, diagnostic errors were reduced and unnecessary repairs were prevented.

2. Enhanced Technician Satisfaction and Work Efficiency

When complex issues arose, field technicians were able to receive immediate support from headquarters-based experts, reducing workload fatigue and improving overall job satisfaction.

3. Differentiated Customer Service

When customer vehicles experience issues, customers can now receive headquarters-level technical support across global service locations, significantly enhancing trust and overall satisfaction.
