WHAT IT IS
The Zonar 2010 Replaces Paper Forms For
Safety Inspections
The Zonar 2010 replaces all the paperwork that’s
required by Federal and State regulations for your
pre and post-trip inspections. It’s a handheld reader
for radio frequency identification (RFID) tags. The
RFID tags have been placed around the vehicle
you drive in critical inspection areas or zones. So
now as you go around the vehicle checking
components, instead of paper forms, you’ll use the
Zonar 2010.
HOW THE ZONAR SYSTEM WORKS
The Zonar 2010’s Part of An Electronic Safety
Inspection System
The Zonar System is a paperless, electronic safety
inspection system. In other words, the power of
computers and the Internet eliminate the hassles
of dealing with paperwork. Recording, reviewing,
storing, and managing vehicle inspections becomes
easier and faster. And most importantly, the Zonar
System helps make sure that you’re always driving
a safe vehicle.
Specially Programmed Radio Frequency
Identification (RFID) Tags
RFID tags have been put on the vehicle in critical
inspection areas or zones. The RFID tags, which
are weather-resistant—they can withstand mud,
grease, and even ice—contain information about
their location on the vehicle, fleet numbers, and
the components you need to inspect.
The Zonar 2010 reads the tags and then prompts
you to indicate whether the components in a
particular zone are OK or BAD. When you find
problems with components, you’ll select descriptions
of their defective conditions from a list. Then, you’ll
decide whether or not it’s safe to operate the vehicle
with the defective conditions.
If you’re driving and stopped by a state trooper or
police officer, you’ll use the Zonar 2010 to provide
on-road inspection verification.
Safety Inspection Information Stored In A
Computer Instead of Boxes
The information about safety inspections that you
record in the Zonar 2010 gets transmitted to
computers at Zonar Systems via the Internet. How?
You’ll place the Zonar 2010 into a Reader
Downloading Station (RDS) that’s been installed
where you work.
Management, safety, and maintenance personnel
access the pre and post trip inspection reports from
their computers. No more passing of paper,
complaints about lost reports and illegible handwriting,
and unnecessary delays in getting repairs made.
