IrisX Blueprint: Site Optimization for Idle Cost
Turn idle time into revenue and action
Idle equipment is a cost most fleets never see. IrisX makes it visible and actionable by site, by asset, every day.
From idle hours to operational savings, in days not months
Idle time is embedded in every fleet. What’s missing is the cost. IrisX connects engine-on/no-work signals and fuel data to give you a real-time financial picture of idle waste so teams can stop guessing and start acting.
Challenge
Idle time is treated as normal, quietly hiding its true cost and eating into project margins.
Solution
IrisX connects engine data and fuel use to give every site and asset a daily idle cost with a built-in action list to reduce it.
Business Impact
• Less idle time, less fuel burned, less wear
• Clear cost visibility by site and asset
• Measurable savings you can track and report
What changes with site optimization for idle cost?
Even well-run fleets lose money when idle time goes unmeasured. With Trackunit IrisX, turn engine data into financial accountability by site, by asset, every week.
Without blueprints
Cost invisible
Idle’s true financial impact never surfaces
Scattered data
Engine hours, fuel use, and site data live in separate systems
Gut feel decisions
Site managers lack the numbers to justify behaviour change
Budget overruns
Fuel and maintenance drift with no clear root cause
Emissions blind spots
Sustainability targets ignore CO₂ from unnecessary idling
With blueprints
Cost visible
See real idle cost by site and asset in $ and €, not just hours
Prioritise faster
Rank the highest-cost sites and assets to focus where it matters
Drive behaviour change
Give site managers data to coach operators and change site rules
Control overruns
Pinpoint root causes of fuel and maintenance before budgets drift
Report with confidence
Quantify idle emissions for CO₂ and ESG reporting
What's a blueprint?
Use blueprints to accelerate your digital journey
A Blueprint is a ready-to-deploy solution built on IrisX. Including pre-configured workflows, data connections, and automation logic you can activate in days, not months. No custom development required.
We’ve got answers to your top questions about IrisX Blueprints
What is Trackunit IrisX?
Trackunit IrisX is an operating data platform built for construction that connects and harmonizes operating data from machines and business systems into a secure, scalable data lakehouse. It provides a unified data foundation that enables organizations to integrate data, run analytics and insights, apply AI and machine learning, automate workflows, and build applications and extensions faster.
IrisX accelerates time to value through IrisX Blueprints, which include ready to use datasets, notebooks, and code examples. This enables fleet, operations, digital, and technology leaders to turn connected equipment data into actionable solutions faster. By reducing complexity and implementation risk, organizations can improve fleet performance, enhance customer experiences, and unlock new digital and revenue opportunities.
What is a blueprint?
Blueprints are reusable building blocks in Trackunit IrisX that accelerate solution delivery. They provide the datasets and code patterns needed to detect issues, quantify impact, and trigger actions across systems, enabling the implementation of high value use cases without starting from scratch.
Can we configure the idle cost rates to match our actual fuel costs?
Yes. The blueprint uses configurable cost rates, so you can set values that reflect your real fuel prices and equipment categories making the output directly relevant to your operations.
Does this blueprint work across a mixed fleet with different equipment types?
Yes. The blueprint is designed for mixed fleets and works across equipment categories from heavy equipment like excavators and tractors to medium equipment and operating machinery regardless of brand or telematics source.
