Opus IVS has been awarded patent 10,719,813 for a pass-thru remote diagnostic system. This invention was created by Bluelink, who was acquired by Opus IVS in 2019, with a patent priority date of September 2010. In the past two decades, the Bluelink team has pioneered innovations that would allow a technician to remotely diagnose a vehicle using J2534 and other standards.

“Simply having access to scan tools and software in today’s service bay is no longer enough,” said Bob Beckmann, strategic technologies for Opus IVS and founder of Bluelink. “Efficient delivery of manufacturer recommended diagnostic software, procedures, and technical assistance is critical today to ensure safe and proper repairs.”
