Fast & Reliable ECU Verification

How does it work?

Manual Verification

  • Vehicles can be inspected via QK Checker application for PC (direct cable connection) or via a Smartphone over the QK OnBoard Visual code (generated by the dashboard like QK DASHBOARD).
  • Technical inspectors validate ECU configuration and record compliance data.

Vehicle Identification in Pit Lane

  • As the vehicle exits the pit lane, the QK OnBoard Beacon transmits its unique ID code and the encrypted ECU Data.
  • The QK PitLane Receiver automatically detects this broadcast, with no user interaction required.

Real-Time Monitoring

  • If equipped, the QK Telemetry unit provides live data (e.g. engine parameters, GPS position, crash detection) through 5G networks.
  • Data is immediately available to race direction and marshals.
  • The system can also be integrated by leveraging existing devices and infrastructures, provided that the vehicle is equipped with devices connected to a private or public network (e.g., RaceLink).

Data Aggregation and Reporting

  • All collected data is centralized by the QK Web Server, which generates compliance reports and live dashboards.
  • Race officials can access these tools remotely, without dedicated software or hardware.
  • It is also possible to perform verifications through a local server and dedicated software, without requiring an internet connection for the receiving devices (e.g., QK Receiver + QK WINFORM).

QK Ecosystem

The system can also support redundant verification methods, such as a combination of manual and automatic checks.

The choice to use one or more modules can be made based on the specific needs of each organizer.

Naturally, each receiving device, such as the QK PITLANE RECEIVER, is equipped with integrated backup memory, allowing data to be retrieved manually via USB connection.

This ensures that, even in the event of a crash or unavailability of communication networks (local or internet), verifications can still be performed using a dedicated software application provided with the system.

Why QK is different?

Patented Security

No local device ever knows the decryption keys.

Total Redundancy

On‑board backup in the Receivers; guaranteed offline operation.

Plug‑and‑Play Setup

Plug in, power up, verify.

Scalability

From local series to world championship with the same stack.

System Modules

QK Manual direct connection to the ECU via cable.
PC-based software for static verification. (Ideal for manual testing).

The first QKCHECK module designed for manual technical verifications (via direct vehicle connection with cable) is the Windows-based PC software called QK Checker. Upon startup, the software automatically connects to the QK Central Server to check for updates or changes in verification rules. The technical inspector manually selects the verification context (e.g., Moto2 Championship, WSS…) and the vehicle model (e.g., Triumph…), then initiates the check.

 

 

 

 

The verification result is displayed quickly and intuitively, and a report file is generated and stored locally on the PC for future reference.

A dashboard with dedicated application able to generate a scannable image, readable by a smartphone. (Designed for quick visual verification without any physical connection)

This solution allows technical inspectors to perform visual verifications by simply using a smartphone to scan the code displayed on the vehicle’s dashboard. No dedicated app is required to scan the code; a standard browser is sufficient. However, for security reasons, the inspector must be logged into the system and authorized to submit the verification request to the Central Server. The QR code contains encrypted data provided by the ECU, ensuring the authenticity and integrity of the information shown. This method enables faster verifications and is specifically designed to allow checks to be performed at any time: for example, when entering the pit lane,  without the need to bring the vehicle to a designated inspection area. The verification process is fast, contactless, and tamper-resistant, with each code valid only for a limited time and specific session.

 

This system is natively integrated into dashboards developed by Mectronik, but it can also be implemented in third-party dashboards, subject to a licensing agreement.

The technology is protected by a registered patent.
A compact device installed on the vehicle. Automatically checks ECU data and transmits it wirelessly to the receiver at every pit lane exit.(Enables real-time and contactless verification )

The QK OnBoard Beacon module is an embedded unit installed on the vehicle that wirelessly broadcasts encrypted technical verification data.

The transmission is fully automatic, requires no user interaction, and remains active while the vehicle is in operation. The data is transmitted to its dedicated receiver, the QK Receiver, within a typical range of up to approximately 100 meters. These receivers are typically positioned at critical control points, such as the pit lane exit, and they automatically forward the received data to the Central Server for validation and logging. Each beacon transmits its unique identification code, which can be associated by the server to a specific rider or motorcycle. The system allows for one or more beacons to be linked to the same vehicle, ensuring maximum flexibility in deployment and redundancy. The engine control unit (ECU) communicates with the beacon and can be configured to enter a protection mode (e.g., power limitation) in case the beacon is disconnected, malfunctioning, or missing. This method enables fully automatic and real-time verification of each vehicle, ensuring that no check can be bypassed, even unintentionally. It is particularly suited for fast-paced race environments, where minimizing human intervention and maximizing control reliability is crucial.

The device is a compact and lightweight unit that requires only four wires for installation on the motorcycle. It features a connector that complies with championship standards.

The system is secure by design: data is encrypted and validated only on the server side, preventing any risk of tampering or reverse engineering at the local device level.

A smart device installed at the pit lane exit. It reads data broadcasted by each vehicle’s beacon and transfers it automatically to a local or remote server. (Ensures automated data capture without interaction with the vehicle)

The QK PitLane Receiver is a smart unit installed at key control points such as the pit lane exit. Its function is to automatically receive the wireless data broadcasted by the QK OnBoard Beacon modules installed on the motorcycles.

The device continuously listens for incoming signals and forwards them in real time to the QK Central Server, either local or remote, for processing and validation.

The receiver itself does not perform any verification logic or data interpretation, ensuring that all critical operations are executed server-side, in a secure and centralized environment.

This architecture guarantees that verification results and device associations cannot be altered or tampered with locally, preventing any unauthorized manipulation or hacking attempts.

Each received transmission is time-stamped and processed by the server, which links it to the corresponding vehicle and logs the verification event. This ensures full traceability and guarantees that no vehicle can access the track without being checked.

The device is compact, lightweight, and IP67-rated, making it resistant to water and dust and suitable for permanent outdoor installations in motorsport environments. It requires only standard power supply via network adapter and includes an internal backup battery to ensure continued operation in the event of a power failure.

A 16 GB internal memory securely stores backup data, ensuring that no information is lost even during network outages. In case of fault conditions or power loss, the receiver automatically notifies its status to the server.

Once configured, the QK PitLane Receiver connects automatically to the local network and operates without requiring any user intervention.

It is a true plug‑and‑play solution: plug it in and go.

The dimensions of the device are 76 Ã— 58 Ã— 42 mm and it weighs 120 g. The TFT display is a touchscreen.

An advanced connectivity unit capable of auto-connecting to public 5G networks. It provides full telemetry coverage, including engine, vehicle, and safety data e.g., crash detection. ( This enables Race Direction to monitor all vehicles in real-time without requiring a dedicated infrastructure.)

The QK Telemetry module enables full bidirectional communication between the vehicle, the centralized QK Server, and race control. It supports both data transmission from the vehicle and to the vehicle, making it a versatile component for remote interaction during sessions.

The module can operate as a complete telemetry system, capable of:

  • Transmitting vehicle data in real time
  • Receiving and displaying race control messages and safety information directly to the rider
  • Sending commands to the onboard dashboard, including alarm activation and display controls or vehicle lights in some races
  • Interacting directly with ECU control parameters, when authorized

QK Telemetry leverages public 5G networks, avoiding the need for dedicated trackside infrastructure. This makes it ideal for scalable deployment across different racing venues without added logistical complexity.

Within the QKCheck ecosystem, the module also transmits all ECU verification data in an automated and secure manner, ensuring that remote officials and technical delegates receive real-time confirmation of compliance.

Designed for maximum flexibility and remote operability, the QK Telemetry module is a strategic asset in modern motorsport, offering remote control, real-time insight, and enhanced decision-making capabilities from anywhere in the world.

The QKCheck system also supports integration with third-party telemetry platforms that provide data transmission to a centralized server, such as MYLAPS RaceLink â„¢ or similar systems, whether through dedicated infrastructure or existing onboard hardware. This ensures full compatibility with environments where such technologies are already installed, enabling a hybrid implementation without disrupting current vehicle setups.

The Core of the Ecosystem: A cloud-accessible platform that provides real-time reports and technical access. (Ensures centralized supervision and traceability)

The QK Server is the central brain of the QKCheck system. It is the only entity authorized to decrypt, validate, and certify technical verification data transmitted by all QK modules, including Manual Checker, OnBoard Visual, Beacon, PitLane Receiver, and Telemetry.

In addition to verification functions, the server also manages ECU configuration file distribution to teams and handles all databases related to the association of devices,  such as beacons, dashboards, or telemetry modules, with specific vehicles, teams, or riders.

Users with Superuser-level licenses (e.g., championship organizers) are empowered to autonomously manage these associations. Using predefined Excel templates, they can import and update the unique identifiers of each device, linking them to their respective championships and competitors. This feature drastically reduces both the time and cost typically required for such configuration and support services.

Every piece of data received is processed through a secure, centralized workflow that ensures:

  • Decryption and authenticity verification
  • Association of each device to its corresponding vehicle, team, or rider
  • Digital timestamping and logging of all verification events
  • Archiving of reports, diagnostics, and activity history

The QK Server can be deployed locally (e.g., in the paddock or race control room) or remotely in a cloud infrastructure, depending on the needs of the organization or championship.

In cloud-based deployments, the infrastructure is designed with high-availability architecture and real-time redundancy, leveraging industry-leading providers such as AWS to ensure maximum data protection, continuity, and scalability.

The system includes advanced user management and access control, allowing each stakeholder, such as technical inspectors, race direction, or federations, to operate within defined roles and responsibilities. It offers full traceability, tamper resistance, and legally binding data protection, supporting audits, appeals, and regulatory compliance.

As the only trusted authority in the verification chain, the QK Server produces binding and non-manipulable verification outcomes, ensuring the entire system remains immune to local tampering or unauthorized access.

The QKCheck system, including its server-side logic, verification process, and communication protocol, is protected by patent and intellectual property rights owned exclusively by Mectronik Srl.
Technical Verification Hub in Local Mode: An on-site platform that manages technical verifications in local mode via a native Windows application. (Ensures autonomous operation and secure local access)

The QKLocalServer is the core component of the QK ecosystem for managing technical verifications in local mode.

  • Capable of operating in locations with limited or no internet infrastructure through local mode deployment.
QKLocal Server application

It is a standalone PC application designed to monitor and visualize ECU verification data in real time, providing race officials and technical inspectors with a clear and immediate overview of vehicle compliance during sessions.

The application is capable of operating fully autonomously, even without an active cloud connection, by replicating the core functionalities of the central QK Server locally. Despite its offline capabilities, the application regularly synchronizes and updates itself by connecting to the central server whenever a connection is available, ensuring that verification rules, device databases, and configuration files remain up to date.

This solution is ideal for deployments where local decision-making and fast reaction times are required, such as pit lane control or mobile inspection stations.

The example below shows a typical live monitoring screen, where all ECUs are automatically verified in real time as vehicles pass through the pit lane. Each motorcycle or vehicle is recognized automatically by model and configuration, and its conformity with championship rules is validated on the spot, without manual interaction.
