Standalone Remapping Device Improves User Interface and Connectivity
Avon Tuning HD (ATHD) has launched ‘The Genius’ remapping device to reduce the number of tools currently required to remap agricultural machines, while providing a slicker user interface and improving rural connectivity when on farm.
The latest device will replace the ‘New Genuis’ and ‘New Transdata’ units currently employed across the agent network, which extends to over 175 across the UK and Ireland. ATHD is the biggest provider of Dimsport remapping equipment across the UK, and the changes will provide several benefits to users. Gareth Jones, managing director at Avon Tuning HD, explains.
While the two existing devices have been reliable and efficient, The Genuis is much easier to use and navigate, features advanced hardware and rural connection, and has improved technical support options via a VPN connection. All of which help to make the agents’ life easier when carrying out remapping on farm, while reducing the time machines are out of action for a remap to be installed.”
One of the biggest benefits for agents is a computer or laptop is no longer required for any of the ECU reading or writing processes. The Genius has upgraded software and firmware updating processes, making it quicker and easier to use than its predecessors. Furthermore, The Genius allows engineers to carry out OBD tuning and bench tuning – the two types of connection that are required to remap agricultural machines – which previously required separate devices.
A further benefit for engineers on farm is The Genius has a remote VPN connection option allowing ATHD’s technical support team to remotely access the device, which will significantly improve the effectiveness of field support and solve any issues as they arise.
Gareth continues: “Farms and tractor cabs aren’t ideal places for laptops, so having a single tool that engineers can use to access machines regardless of the connection required, is going to improve the efficiency of each job and save the farmer downtime on the machine. Having real-time VPN access, so our technicians in the UK can access an agent’s screen, will ensure we maintain our high standards and any issues are resolved quickly.”
To promote ATHD’s existing agent network to upgrade, Dimsport is offering a cost-effective trade-in deal for current users. ATHD will have several of The Genius devices in hall 7, stand 600, at LAMMA for existing and prospective agents to test.
