Case Study: a premium european automotive OEM achieves 75% faster production troubleshooting with SPREAD’s E/E Inspector

Premium European Automotive OEM speeds production diagnostics by 75% with SPREAD

The premium European automotive OEM faced a challenge where vehicle complexity was outpacing technician memory, making it difficult to diagnose electrical and electronic faults using generic schematics. This led to slow troubleshooting and frequent escalations to senior staff. To address this, they partnered with SPREAD to implement its E/E Inspector product.

SPREAD's solution provided line technicians with a VIN-specific schematic that was automatically filtered to the exact vehicle configuration in front of them. This allowed for fault localization against the actual vehicle, not a notional one. As a result, the OEM achieved 75% faster troubleshooting and saved approximately €500,000 per production line per year. These results have been sustained for over five years and the deployment has cleared every renewal cycle since its start in 2020.
