Abstract
A system for determining a condition of an asset such as a vehicle or a machine tool includes a diagnostic tool. The diagnostic tool for determining a condition of a vehicle includes an inspection unit having a scanner, a camera, a laser pointer, and a thermometer, a communication unit having a transceiver, a wireless and a Bluetooth, and a user interface unit having a microphone, LED lights and a speaker. The diagnostic tool acquires a vehicle identification number (VIN), transmits the VIN information, and receives basic information including an inspection procedure provided from a manufacturer of the vehicle and history information of the vehicle associated with the acquired VIN for providing a new health condition of the vehicle under inspection. A method for determining a condition of an asset is also performed by the system including the diagnostic tool.
