Data & Uptime: How AI is Redefining the Machine Economy in the Midwest
Downtime Summit Chicago | June 25th, 2026 | 9:00 am
Driving Smarter Data and Greater Uptime with AI in the Midwest Machine Economy
Trackunit invites you to an exclusive, invitation-only one-day gathering in Chicago — the long-standing heartbeat of America’s construction equipment industry, where machines are built, managed, and deployed at scale.
But the rules are changing. AI is no longer a future investment; it’s actively reshaping how OEMs deliver value through service, how rental companies unlock utilization from every asset in their fleet, and how contractors turn real-time data into faster decisions, higher uptime, and more profitable jobs.
Join a curated group of OEM and contractor leaders for a private, one-day experience hosted by Trackunit on the Chicago River. Together, we’ll explore how data-driven intelligence is transforming fleet performance — from predictive maintenance to real-time visibility — and get a real look at how IrisX is helping.
Afterward, we invite you to continue the conversation with an afternoon on the river, a more informal setting to connect with peers and industry leaders.
