Chicago, Illinois. January 12, 2026. — Global contech Trackunit will showcase advancements across its connectivity and software solutions at CONEXPO-CON/AGG in March 2026, with the latest developments to its operating data platform, IrisX, spearheading the portfolio.
“IrisX delivers trusted machine intelligence, secure connectivity, and a scalable way for organizations to address operational challenges and drive efficiency during critical phases of project execution,” said Susan Brandt, Trackunit president & general manager, North America. “It addresses key fleet-management challenges, including inconsistent data, delayed decisions, and disconnected systems.
“The platform is not only breaking down silos, it is enabling smarter, automated workflows, benchmarking, and consistent insight across equipment, fleets, and jobsite operations.”
One of the latest upgrades to IrisX’s capabilities are its ready-to-deploy blueprints that immediately enable customers to build proprietary digital services covering, for example, predictive maintenance, smart servicing and dealer inventory forecasting capabilities. With IrisX providing harmonized fleet and operations data, the blueprints give customers an easy way to apply analytics and AI to critical, real-world use cases where uptime and safety matter most.
This includes avoiding unplanned breakdowns, optimizing maintenance windows and reducing on-site risk. Contractors are seeing up to 20% higher utilization and 10–20% lower idle time, while OEMs are turning the insights into predictive service offerings and new aftermarket revenue streams.
”Effective decision-making depends on a strong foundation,” said Brandt. “When data is reliable and connected at scale, teams can act with greater speed, safety, and confidence.
“IrisX provides that foundation by harmonizing the information the industry relies on, enabling clearer insight and better judgment,” she said. “Combined with our global Bluetooth-enabled Network — the largest of its kind — this creates a deeply connected jobsite where insight is available when and where it’s needed.”
IrisX is also increasingly harnessing the power of composite AI — a fusion of different AI technologies — to harmonize data and deliver solutions to the industry. That significantly accelerates the pathway to taking business decisions from setup as well as allowing customers to build proprietary apps on IrisX and showcase them on Trackunit’s Marketplace.
“This open ecosystem accelerates onboarding and enables our growing customer base to deliver solutions tailored to their markets,” said Brandt. “This translates to measurable ROI, productivity gains and lower operational risk.”
Visitors to the Trackunit booth will experience the practical impact of full-fleet connectivity through live demos that mirror real-world scenarios. From heavy equipment to compact tools, Trackunit’s platform brings mixed fleets across large, multi-site operations into a single, consistent view of asset health, location, and utilization.
“This is about delivering more uptime, predictability, and confidence on the job,” said Brandt. “The platform is what makes those outcomes possible.”
Trackunit will also show OEMs and rental companies how to use a custom-branded portal to give their customers and partners unified fleet management, proactive maintenance, and access management capabilities, and extend the experience with their own apps and services built on Trackunit IrisX.
“We’re already working with OEMs and rental companies that are using Portals to build their own branded telematics experiences,” said Brandt. “With IrisX and the global Bluetooth-enabled network, they can present equipment insights and maintain up-to-date visibility on connected assets, delivering connected digital services to their customers and partners.”
Trackunit additionally will showcase its latest developments in firmware-over-the-air (FOTA) solutions enabling OEMs to deliver remote updates.
“We‘re helping our OEM partners manage their business in a much more efficient way by delivering over-the-air technology across a complex ecosystem,” said Brandt. “It will also strengthen the industry-wide effort to eliminate downtime and reposition construction as a force for progress.”
Trackunit will finally bring select products to CONEXPO including the Kin T200 tracking tag which was launched at end-2025 and is built to be both rugged and connected in the most extreme construction conditions.
CONEXPO takes place in Las Vegas, March 3-7. Trackunit can be found at booth N12707.
