A robust, workshop-ready tablet PC purpose-built to run Bosch ESI[tronic]

As vehicle technology continues to evolve, professional diagnostics requires more than just a scan tool.
Workshops need powerful diagnostic software, reliable communication with increasingly complex vehicle systems, and hardware capable of performing in demanding workshop environments.
Bosch brings these elements together through its comprehensive ECU Diagnostic Solution, combining ESI[tronic] diagnostic software, the KTS 560 or flagship KTS 590 Vehicle Communication Interface (VCI), and the DCU 150 – a robust tablet PC purpose-built for workshop use.
Bosch says the DCU 150 provides the ideal platform to run Bosch ESI[tronic], delivering the performance, mobility and durability technicians need to diagnose, maintain, and repair today’s passenger, hybrid and electric vehicles.
Powered by an Intel Core i5 processor and running Windows 11 IoT Enterprise, the DCU 150 features a bright 11.6-inch Full HD capacitive touchscreen, 16 GB of RAM, and a high-speed 256 GB solid-state drive to ensure responsive operation throughout the working day.
Whether navigating wiring diagrams, accessing guided troubleshooting procedures, or performing advanced ECU diagnostics, Bosch says the DCU 150 delivers the speed and reliability professional workshops expect.
At the heart of the Bosch diagnostic ecosystem is ESI[tronic], Bosch’s advanced diagnostic software.
With a valid ESI[tronic] licence, workshops gain access to extensive multi-brand vehicle coverage, comprehensive technical information, service procedures, wiring diagrams, maintenance data, and guided fault-finding routines.
When paired with either the Bosch KTS 560 or the premium KTS 590 Vehicle Communication Interface, technicians can communicate directly with vehicle electronic control units (ECUs), perform advanced diagnostics, complete ECU coding, and support software updates with confidence.
Together, Bosch explains the DCU 150, ESI[tronic], and KTS VCI modules form a complete diagnostic solution engineered to improve workshop efficiency, reduce diagnostic time, and support the latest vehicle technologies.
Designed specifically for workshop environments, the DCU 150 combines rugged durability with everyday practicality.
Its IP65-rated housing protects against dust and water ingress, while the shock-resistant construction withstands the knocks and bumps of daily workshop use.
Dual hot-swappable batteries allow technicians to continue working without interruption, eliminating unnecessary downtime and providing true mobility throughout the workshop.
