Cummins
Zonar and Cummins offer Cummins Connected Diagnostics to customers using Zonar's smart fleet management solution. By obtaining data through Zonar's V3TM telematics control unit, Cummins Connected Diagnostics wirelessly connects the engine to Cummins for immediate diagnosis of engine fault alerts. Using unique Cummins algorithms, Connected Diagnostics prioritizes engine fault information and translates it into clear, actionable recommendations that are immediately sent to operations managers. With this report, fleet managers can quickly intervene when service is needed immediately, or can proactively schedule a service event to prevent progressive damage to a vehicle.
