Abstract

A system for use in transmitting data. The system includes at least one wireless beacon positionable in a work zone, with the at least one wireless beacon configured to emit a signal. A diagnostic device is configured to mate with an object positionable in the work zone, the diagnostic device including a wireless transceiver configured to receive the signal, and a controller in communication with the wireless transceiver. The controller is configured to receive a data package associated with the object, determine a location of the object based on an analysis of the signal, and transmit, via the wireless transceiver, the data package to the work zone when it is determined that the object is positioned within the work zone.
