DAKO TachoStation

The regular verification of driving licences and driver qualification cards (DQC) often causes unnecessary difficulty. Scheduling deadlines and manual documentation become real time wasters. TachoStation significantly shortens this process with the help of electronic driving licence and DQC checks.

For this purpose, tamper-proof RFID tags are attached to the driving licences or DQCs of all employees. When the regular check is due, your employee places their driving licence or DQC on the TachoStation and waits for the confirmation screen. The verification is automatically documented in compliance with the law and archived in DAKO Fleet. This eliminates the need for a physical inspection.

The TachoStation offers your drivers a central base that is available to them for reading out driving times around the clock. You never have to interrupt your work on the PC to read out driver card data or tachograph data. This not only saves working time but also gives you the freedom to have all data available without any unnecessary distractions.

Thanks to our network of around 450 publicly accessible TachoStations, drivers can also read out data at public stations throughout Germany. You can find the nearest available public readout station here using our TachoStationfinder.

Insert card, wait briefly for the signal, remove card. That is how easy it is to read out driver cards or the DAKO TachoKEY at the TachoStation. There are complicated steps before, during or after the readout process. With the TachoStation, failed readout processes or time-intensive operating instructions are a thing of the past. All that is required is the one-time registration of all your drivers in DAKO Fleet.

It’s that easy:

Readout your driver card

1. To read out your driver card, insert it into the opening provided for this purpose on the upper right-hand side of the TachoStation.
2. Follow the interactive instructions on the touch display.
3. The status light stops flashing and lights up permanently green when you can remove your driver card.

Reading out the DAKO TachoKEY

1. Insert the DAKO TachoKEY into the opening provided on the TachoStation (lower right side).
2. Registration with the TachoStation is automatic. Wait for the instructions on the display.
3. Confirm the start of the data transfer manually on the display.
4. The colour of the light-emitting diode (LED) on the DAKO TachoKEY informs you about the status during the upload process at TachoStation. Do not remove the DAKO TachoKEY from the TachoStation until the LED lights up permanently green.
5. The data containers on the DAKO TachoKEY are automatically deleted after successful transfer in DAKO Fleet. You do not need to do anything else. Data that has not been completely transferred (see display on the TachoStation) remains safely stored on the DAKO TachoKEY. In this case, contact our customer support.
