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.
