- 16. CONFIRM DIAGNOSTICS • Support the driver with real time diagnostics • Be alerted by email or sms of low batteries and shutdown failures • Confirm diagnostics by inspecting telematics data, filtering important information, and building up knowledge • Entering the workshop for in depth inspection and diagnostic • Driver calls the expert after shutdown • Placing a full service diagnostics contract with OEM The Railnova way Instead of:
