Why more of the same diagnostic tool improves workshop efficiency
Why more of the same diagnostic tool improves workshop efficiency
A modern workshop cannot operate professionally without diagnostic equipment. Today’s vehicles depend on software, and diagnostics is part of almost every job. If several technicians share one unit, work often has to wait. Even short delays can slow down the whole workshop.
With extra diagnostic capacity, technicians can work in parallel instead of waiting for access. This helps the workshop operate more smoothly. Extra units are about keeping work moving.
Benefits of additional diagnostic units:
• Reduced waiting time
• Shorter vehicle time in the workshop
• Better planning of daily work
• Improved use of workshop space
• More stable operations during busy periods
Even greater benefits come when all units are based on the same diagnostic platform.
Benefits of using the same diagnostic unit across the workshop:
• Technicians work in a familiar system
• Training becomes easier and faster
• Consistent data and software access
• Simplified support and licence management
• A more efficient and controlled workflow
If you are reviewing your diagnostic capacity, ICON is an professional all-in-one tool that helps keep your workshop running smoothly. You can find more information on our website.
Software Release 2026.03 is here!
This is a major update, bringing improvements across 22 passenger car and light commercial vehicle brands and 8 brands on trucks, buses and trailers. This release brings significant updates to the daily work for any mechanic. On Jaguar and Land Rover alone, as many as 329 specific fault codes have been added. A big deal for every workshop that has been missing these possibilities earlier.
The update covers both new and older year models, ensuring broader coverage and continued support across vehicles.
Here are some highlights in the release:

New packaging for ICON
A big step towards more sustainable and efficient packaging is now becoming reality. We are now starting to deliver ICON in a new cardboard box, replacing the previous plastic case. The product itself remain exactly the same. It is only the outer packaging that has changed.
The new box is smaller and lighter, which reduces shipping volume and improves transport efficiency. This lowers resource use and helps reduce environmental impact. It is FSC-certified, fully recyclable and significantly reduces plastic use.
A helpful quick start guide, explanations of the colour indicators of ICON and a QR code to the user manual are printed on the outside of the box for easy access.
