What is Noregon? Diagnostic Tools Supporting Fleet Maintenance
Noregon is a provider of diagnostic tools and software designed to address the challenges of commercial vehicle maintenance. Known for its focus on data and diagnostics, Noregon helps fleets identify potential issues in vehicles to reduce downtime. However, while their tools cater to certain aspects of fleet management, they work best when paired with other specialized solutions, such as Lite-Check diagnostic tools.
A Brief Overview of Noregon
Founded in 1993, Noregon focuses on software and tools that provide insights into vehicle health, including fault codes and performance monitoring. Their systems are often used alongside fleet maintenance processes, but they are not a complete solution for trailer diagnostics or maintenance compliance.
Noregon’s Key Offerings
Noregon’s products target specific aspects of fleet management, including:
1. Diagnostic Software
JPRO Professional®: A diagnostic platform that identifies engine and vehicle system issues across multiple makes and models. However, it does not extend to specialized trailer diagnostics such as ABS and lighting system compliance testing.
2. Vehicle Health Monitoring
TripVision®: A tool designed to monitor vehicle health remotely. While it offers useful insights, it primarily focuses on cab-based systems and lacks the comprehensive trailer-specific testing capabilities of tools like the Lite-Check Inspector 930.
3. Basic Fault Guidance
Noregon tools provide fault code explanations but rely on users to interpret how these apply to their specific fleet needs. Specialized diagnostic tools, like those offered by Lite-Check, deliver actionable, detailed reports for lighting, brakes, and ABS diagnostics.
Comparing Noregon with Lite-Check
While Noregon tools offer valuable insights for engine and system diagnostics, Lite-Check products like the Inspector 930 go beyond diagnostics to deliver hands-on solutions tailored for trailers. Lite-Check excels in:
Comprehensive Testing: The Inspector 930 tests lighting, brakes, air systems, and ABS, ensuring trailers are compliant with FMCSA requirements.
Ease of Use: Lite-Check tools provide step-by-step processes and immediate reports, simplifying fleet maintenance and compliance.
Tailored Solutions: Unlike general diagnostic tools, Lite-Check focuses on providing specialized trailer diagnostics, minimizing errors and ensuring precision.
Using Noregon Tools in Fleet Maintenance
Noregon tools can assist in identifying issues at the cab level, but their efficiency increases when integrated with advanced diagnostic solutions:
Preliminary Diagnostics: Use JPRO Professional® to identify basic system faults.
Trailer-Specific Testing: Deploy Lite-Check tools like the Inspector 930 for detailed trailer diagnostics.
Proactive Maintenance: Pairing general diagnostics with tools designed for ABS and air system testing ensures a complete fleet maintenance strategy.
Final Thoughts
Noregon offers tools that are useful for engine and system diagnostics, but they are not a one-stop solution for fleet compliance or trailer maintenance. For fleets seeking comprehensive diagnostic capabilities that include lighting, ABS, brakes, and air systems, Lite-Check’s solutions provide unmatched efficiency and precision.
