The VCD: An Excellent Solution

Our Visual Components Detector was developed in collaboration with Herth+Buss GmbH & Co. KG, a specialist in vehicle electronics and spare parts for Asian vehicle models. The company was in need of a solution that could identify and efficiently order components such as connector housings or body clips. This was a significant challenge, as in the era of autonomous driving and efficient control systems, every vehicle has a multitude of electronic control units that frequently require replacement. With the VCD app, the desired items can now be identified within seconds. The laborious search in online or paper catalogs is eliminated, saving workshops and retailers a great deal of time and costs. Even if the desired item is not recognized by the app, Herth+Buss, in collaboration with daenet, has thought of a solution. Customers now have the option to directly contact the parts specialist through the app and receive personal consultation. This functionality impressed the jury at Automechanika, leading to the VCD from daenet receiving the prestigious Innovation Award 2022 in the “Data + Networking” category. It is an honor that we are proud of and it serves as motivation for us to strive for continuous improvement every day.
