Mitchell 1 has added new features aimed to improve technician efficiency to its Advanced Interactive Wiring diagrams in the TruckSeries truck repair software.
According to the company, the new features streamline navigation within a diagram set or from one diagram set to a different diagram set. The features also add interactivity to connectors, grounds, and splices. Improvements also include a dropdown history that shows the previous 10 diagrams viewed in a session.
“Mitchell 1 recognizes how valuable a truck technician’s time is because commercial vehicles need to be returned to operation as quickly as possible,” Kristy LaPage, business manager for the commercial vehicle group at Mitchell 1, said in a press release. “In today’s tight shipping capacity environment, it’s even more crucial to get those vehicles back on the road quickly. Mitchell 1 continues to investigate and develop features within our software that improve the technician’s ability to move through the repair process as efficiently and accurately as possible.”
Advanced Interactive Wiring Diagrams let users navigate via the diagram directly to repair information for components. Component names shown in the wiring diagrams are active links that take users straight to the information needed, such as location, connector views and replacement procedures.
Connectors, grounds, and splices are also now searchable in 1Search and include active hyperlinks that take users directly to related content. TruckSeries not only takes the user to the specific diagram but when the diagram is opened the component, connector, ground, or splice will be in focus with all the traces already highlighted.
Mitchell 1’s TruckSeries is available for Classes 4-8 trucks and is a data resource for mechanical labor estimating, diagnostic trouble code procedures and comprehensive repair information. TruckSeries is integrated with Manager SE Truck Edition, Mitchell 1’s truck shop management software.
