MAHLE Aftermarket chooses Getac rugged solution to power new Android-based diagnostic tool

Getac Technology Corporation (Getac), a leading global provider of rugged computing solutions, has joined MAHLE Aftermarket in the development of its new diagnostic tool, which is built on the Android operating system and powered by Getac's fully rugged hardware. The strategic project presents a new milestone for Getac, validating the company's ability to provide complete tailor-made solutions on a global scale.

"We are proud to be part of this strategic project, working with MAHLE Aftermarket to provide a rugged solution that meets the needs of the automotive aftermarket. Our goal is to help workshops around the world solve their daily challenges as quickly and efficiently as possible using innovative digital technology," says James Hwang, President of Getac Technology Corporation.

MAHLE Aftermarket was looking for a reliable technology provider that could support its operations on a global level and proactively assist in its mission to drive innovation through technology. The new automotive aftermarket project involves a rugged hardware solution, which will be supplied to multi-brand specialist garages, with the aim of guaranteeing them high quality standards and helping them improve the customer experience.

Workshops often encounter challenging conditions, such as dust, grease, humidity, and temperature fluctuations, so proposing a rugged solution was the best technological choice for MAHLE Aftermarket. The need was to identify a total solution that included a compact, yet fully rugged Android Enterprise Recommended tablet that combined portability, mobility, features and accessories, to help workshops solve their daily challenges more efficiently.

"After extensive market research, we chose Getac for its global automotive experience and its ability to provide tailor-made solutions based on our specific requirements," says Daniel Hessenauer, Head of Global Product Management Service Solutions for MAHLE Aftermarket.
