Data Port on most heavy-duty vehicles.

IRIS-Wireless Data Extraction

Computers are a key part of running an effective, efficient and profitable operation. But many have
found that the maintenance shop isnt a PC-friendly environment and the continuous struggle with
fragile, unwieldy cables wastes time and resources and is a big deterrent to regular data gathering.

If Youve Been Trying To Computerize With

Limited Success, You Should Consider IRIS.
With IRIS, Youll Reduce Or
Eliminate:

With IRIS, You Can:

products any time: 24/7/365!

Trouble shooting faulty and intermittent cables

Safety concerns from long cables stretched
across the shop floor

Have one wireless solution for all your vehicles short range
communication needs. With correct translator box selection,
IRIS can be used will all your PC tools.

Laptop computer casualties due to theft, dirt
