Spare parts catalogue+ service manual for Mercedes-Benz ( Cars, Buses, Trucks )

Mercedes EPC net represents the latest development in EPC Flexible Publishing.


 All the functions available in EPC Flexible Publishing have been fully integrated into EPC net. The modern user interface applying standard Windows rules serves to significantly improve user guidance and navigation.

Modern user interface using standard Windows rules
Users will immediately note the modern user interface and the simple navigation using standard Windows rules.
You can open functions using the icons (a) or the Menu bar (b).
Tooltips are provided to explain icon functions (c). Hovering the mouse pointer over an icon causes the tooltip to appear with a description of the icon's function.
The combined pull-down menus (d) with input fields are available in EPC net for simple navigation within the catalogs/groups/subgroups.
You can use your mouse or keyboard to operate EPC net. Most of the keyboard shortcuts used in EPC Flexible Publishing are also used in EPC net.

For parts identification, EPC net requires at least a 6-digit model designation.
Ideally, parts identification should be done using a vehicle identification number so that the datacard can be used in the process. The datacard must be used when looking for parts that are color-specific or where the search depends on what equipment is installed in the vehicle.

Reduced number of windows
Functions that were spread over several windows in EPC Flexible Publishing have been condensed onto one window in EPC net.

The EPC net window is subdivided into the following sections:

Mercedes EPC net Picture
The picture has been supplemented with different zoom functions, and can be shown in a separate window using the icon.

Mercedes EPC net Parts list
All the part numbers for the entire subgroup are shown in the parts list.
Footnotes and code information (passenger cars), SA/component information (commercial vehicles) and construction kit information (BUS) can be displayed via links in a separate window.

Mercedes EPC net Shopping list
The contents of the shopping list (e.g. quantity) can be changed directly in the individual columns.

One important new feature is the "Show part context" function. When you reopen a saved shopping list you can click on the part designation in the form of a mouse-sensitive blue link to extract the part context directly from the shopping list.This saves you the trouble of reentering the vehicle data and the group/subgroup.

Mercedes EPC net List overview
The "List overview" can help the EPC net users with shopping list administration.
Saved shopping lists and a "temporary shopping list" can be used at the same time.
The icon can be used to create, show, delete, copy and print shopping lists.

The active area of the EPC net window is marked with a red frame.
You can change the size of the individual EPC net window areas via the respective dividing lines. Double-clicking on the dividing line between the picture and the parts list causes the picture to be arranged above the parts list.

The , and icons can be used to show/hide individual areas of the EPC net window and to individually change the column widths as required.

EPC net is available both online and offline
The various options at a glance:
Online server operation via Internet or intranet.
Local installation: offline operation for day-to-day use - updates via online downloads.
Offline mode: updates from DVD.

The MB Workshop Information System (WIS+ASRA+DAS) DaimlerChrysler AG's aim is to improve the electronic availability and usefulness
of the workshop documentation (e.g. repair, maintenance, basic data, wiring diagrams and in part also documentation organization) of Mercedes-Benz and smart products by optimizing access and presentation.
WIS also offers integration to neighboring task areas such as e.g. definition of work units and flat rates using ASRA, and
damage coding on one workstation.

The following criteria have been taken into consideration:

• Modern electronic information system to replace the microfilm and paper media.


• Faster document search and display.
  
• Simplification of document search.
  
• Simple system operation.
  
• Access option to vehicle-specific data (vehicle datacard of EPC system).
  
• Vehicle-specific documentation finding.
  
• Simplification of warranty settlement by integrating the damage coding in WIS.
  
• Documentation access using operation number.
  
• Definition of work units or flat rates using ASRA.

The system offers:

• Increased productivity and speed during the documentation search and shorter waiting times for the workshop personnel
  accompanying this.
  
• Operation using mouse or keyboard.
  
  
• Automated documentation search.
  
• Damage coding (for warranty settlement).
  
• Call of the vehicle datacard from the EPC system with code identification written in full.
  
• ASRA data, basis for creating orders, invoices and warranty applications.
  
• Dynamic, vehicle-related generation of service sheets with an interface to ASRA.

The program in two variants on five CD (old versions) and on two DVD or one DVD DL (new versions) is delivered. The complete set on CD supports only one base language (English or German),
The complete set on DVD contains the multilingual version (about eight languages) and contains updating for the program DAS.
The Datacard displays all vehicle-related information (with code identification written in full). The Datacard can only be called if there is a installed the MB EPC (Electronic Parts Catalog) and a vehicle identification number is identified by the program.
DAS contains updating for the diagnostic computer Star Diagnosis, and also SDflash - updating flash of the diagnostic computer Star Diagnosis.
The program can be installed completely on HDD or partially.

Preface
The Workshop Information System (WIS) is a modern DP supported information system.
It not only replaces the workshop documentation available to date on paper and microfilm, but also offers a multitude of
possibilities for attaining information required.
Knowledge required for optimum use of "WIS" is imparted with the help of user documentation together with the "Workshop
Information System" (WIS) course.
All the WIS functions are dealt with clearly and comprehensibly using text and illustrations.
Fast access to individual chapters in this documentation is ensured by a clear list of contents. A comprehensive, alphabetically
sorted index facilitates access to all important terms found in the text.

General
With the "Workshop Information System (WIS)" DaimlerChrysler AG’s aim is to improve the availability and usefulness of
the workshop documentation (e.g. repair, maintenance, basic data, wiring diagrams and in part also documentation organization)
of Mercedes-Benz products by optimizing access and presentation using the monitor as a medium.
WIS also offers integration to neighboring task areas such as e.g. definition of work units and flat rates using ASRA, and
damage coding on one workstation.
