kscarbel2 Posted May 11, 2016 Author Share Posted May 11, 2016 International Offers Over-the-Air Programming for Cummins Engines Heavy Duty Trucking / May 10, 2016 International Truck will be the first truck manufacturer to offer over-the-air truck programming for Cummins engines, allowing fleets to update engine control modules with a secure Wi-Fi connection. Over-the-air programming is available through the nine-pin International Link device that enables drivers or fleet managers to use a mobile interface to initiate engine programming over Wi-Fi. Engine control modules can then be updated to reflect the latest manufacturer approved calibrations without needing to visit a dealer or service facility. The service will first be available for a limited production release of Cummins 2017 model year engines, beginning in fall 2016. The two companies have plans to expand the service to other model years. "This new service for users of Cummins engines builds on our commitment to open-architecture solutions that provide drivers and fleets with improved uptime," said Terry Kline, senior vice president and chief information officer, Navistar. "Many of our customers have mixed fleets, and thanks to this industry-leading innovation, customers will be able to program Cummins' engines without having to leave their own facilities." International was the first commercial vehicle manufacturer to introduce OTA programming of ECMs, according to the company. It first offered the service for trucks powered by its N9, N10 and N13 proprietary engines. "We are pleased to be working with International to provide users of our engines with the latest in over-the-air solutions," said Amy Boerger, vice president of sales for Cummins' North America Engine Business.

kscarbel2 Posted May 12, 2016 Author Share Posted May 12, 2016 Navistar's OnCommand Connection Hits 200,000 VINs Heavy Duty Trucking / May 10, 2016 Navistar, Inc. announced subscriptions to OnCommand Connection (OCC), the company's open architecture remote diagnostics system, have surpassed the 200,000 vehicle mark. This milestone reflects OnCommand Connection's rapid rate of subscriber growth since it was initially demonstrated in October 2013. It also underscores the system's integration with a large and growing number of leading telematics service providers (TSPs). OnCommand Connection is already integrated with 16 TSPs [link to web portal showing TSP list], with several additional TSPs now in the process of being integrated. Illustrating this breadth of coverage is the fact that approximately two-thirds of the vehicles now in the system were manufactured by other OEMs besides Navistar. "OnCommand Connection continues to grow its subscriber base by proving its value to a wide range of customers who are seeking a one-stop telematics solution for their entire fleets," said Terry Kline, Navistar senior vice president and chief information officer. "Through our strategy of integrating with a wide range of leading telematics service providers, we are able to provide unique, single-portal access to fleet managers and other customers who want their fleet's vehicle health information available through a single integrated portal. This open-architecture approach is helping many customers achieve significant uptime improvements while also driving reduced maintenance costs." Vehicle status and diagnostic trouble code data from the TSPs are transmitted to OnCommand Connection, which then interprets this data and creates easy-to-understand vehicle health reports and recommended action plans for all brands of vehicles and engines, which can be accessed through an online portal, e-mails and other types of alerts, as determined by the customer. By integrating and interpreting vehicle health information in a customer-friendly format, OnCommand Connection enables fleet users and other customers to achieve more efficient repairs and maintenance, better lifecycle value, and an overall lower total cost of ownership, giving them increased visibility into maintenance needs and better control of their business.

Red Horse Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Just wondering-do any of the other class8's offer this direct communication? As always, I wonder about the security of such "two-way" wireless communication. Not only "hacking" but stray signals. A few months ago I'm backing my Deere out of barn. I have my I-phone listening to I-heart radio. and my JBL wireless "speaker-or whatever you call it is on. I'm looking rearward all of a sudden hear a "crash" and immediately stop. The OH door activated, missed the cab roof and fortunately the front glass but hooked the exhaust stack, bent it as well as door panel while pulling door out of track. How does stuff like that happen? this was "perfect storm"- rear wheels had cleared door sensors which cross path about a foot off floor, missed cab roof so nothing to throw it into reverse before it made contact with stack. You would think this "two way communication" is bullet proof,then again.........?? The airwaves are full of signals.

My wife had one of the Exxon /Mobil pay wands a few years ago, when she passed it over the pump thingie it would trigger the doors on her Bronco. So what happens if the signal is interrupted mid down load, do you lose what is being up dated or deleted and go to default mode or does it re connect and continue where it left off? I see some kid with an I pad and a Pringles can antenna playing with the program Paul Edited May 12, 2016 by 41chevy Quote "OPERTUNITY IS MISSED BY MOST PEOPLE BECAUSE IT IS DRESSED IN OVERALLS AND LOOKS LIKE WORK" Thomas Edison “Life’s journey is not to arrive at the grave safely, in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting ‘Holy shit, what a ride!’” P.T.CHESHIRE Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/44527-international-truck-over-the-air-programming/#findComment-333064 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe kscarbel posted a story recently about Detroit Diesel having technicians via wifi or satellite communication to diagnose and work on engines remotely. If it wasn't Kevin than I read it at our shop.
