Cojali participates in the 8th edition of Ances Open Innovation (AOI), the open innovation program promoted by the National Association of Spanish Business Innovation Centres (ANCES). As one of the nine driving companies behind this initiative, Cojali launches its own technological challenge with the aim of attracting innovative solutions from startups and young companies.

Ances Open Innovation is a unique opportunity to foster collaboration between established companies and entrepreneurs with disruptive ideas. So far, the program has received more than 600 proposals, from which 79 winning solutions have emerged, demonstrating its ability to generate synergies and growth opportunities in the entrepreneurial ecosystem.

Cojali’s challenge: innovation in the interpretation of technical images

The challenge posed by Cojali consists of the development of a solution based on Artificial Intelligence with the aim of transforming the visual management of parts and components in Jaltest Diagnostics, the leading solution in multi-brand diagnostics and repair for commercial vehicles at a global level.

The challenge is to develop a solution capable of processing the extensive catalogue of Jaltest Diagnostics technical images, standardising and optimising them to offer a clearer, more coherent and accessible representation. In this way, technicians will be able to interpret the information more quickly and efficiently, speeding up diagnostics and repair processes.

With this initiative, Cojali reaffirms its commitment to innovation and continuous improvement in independent workshops, promoting tools that facilitate the work of mechanics professionals in more than 135 countries where Jaltest Diagnostics is present.
