- Trackunit to also unveil IrisX Blueprints enabling operational use cases for OEMs, rentals and contractors
Aalborg, Denmark: Global contech Trackunit will present new AI capabilities at the International Rental Exhibition (IRE) 2026, enabling construction and rental professionals to query, understand, and act on fleet data through widely used AI tools via its IrisX operating data platform.
At the heart of the launch is the Trackunit MCP (Model Context Protocol) Server, making fleet data accessible through AI clients including ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Microsoft Copilot. Using the open Model Context Protocol (MCP), users can query assets, update data, and configure alerts through natural language without custom integrations.
“Connectivity was always the foundation, but connectivity alone doesn’t make decisions, intelligence does,” said Laerke Ullerup, CMO at Trackunit. “With the MCP Server, equipment, field, and fleet data becomes accessible within the AI tools construction professionals already use, changing how decisions are made in practice.”
The launch marks the next step in Trackunit’s AI in IrisX initiative, embedding AI directly into the platform rather than as a separate layer. The approach focuses on turning high-quality data into operational intelligence that enables faster and more confident action. A conversational AI assistant within Trackunit Manager is expected to launch later this summer.
„Telematics has generated vast amounts of machine data across construction, but the challenge has been turning that data into action at the right moment,” said Ullerup. „Before, data required an analyst and days of custom development to become useful. Now it surfaces in minutes, telling operators and fleet managers what to act on, not just what occurred.”
IrisX processes more than 2 trillion data points and ingests over 3 billion new data points daily across 6.5 million connected assets, supporting mixed fleets and complex, multi-brand environments.
„High-quality, reliable data is what makes AI-driven intelligence possible. That starts with connectivity health and getting the right telematics from day one,” said Ullerup. For this purpose, Trackunit is introducing a connectivity health solution, including the Fit App, purpose-built to guide installers from first setup through connectivity monitoring, ensuring assets are configured correctly before data ever reaches IrisX.
Trackunit is also releasing a number of new IrisX Blueprints, available on the Trackunit Marketplace. „Blueprints are reusable building blocks combining datasets, code patterns, and workflows that enable construction and rental companies to deploy high-value operational use cases without starting from scratch,” said Ullerup. „The value of connected data is only realised when it drives action, and Blueprints give customers a direct path from data to deployment.”
The Blueprints now available include Smart Servicing for automated maintenance triage, Out-of-Contract Usage detection for revenue recovery, Custom Reporting, Site Optimization, and Data-Driven Product Design based on real-world machine usage.
Alongside its AI capabilities, Trackunit will showcase Portals, enabling rental companies, OEMs, and dealers to deliver branded digital experiences to their customers. The solution is already live with leading construction and rental businesses including Sunbelt Rentals UK & Ireland, providing access to fleet insights, utilization data, and sustainability metrics without requiring a Trackunit account.
Rounding out the portfolio, Inspections will also be featured, converting pre-use checks into mobile workflows completed via the Trackunit On app. This connects field-level safety processes directly to fleet data, improving visibility into asset condition and enabling faster response when issues are identified.
Digital inspections address a real safety gap: overlooked hazards contribute to 30% of workplace incidents. By digitizing pre-use checks, companies can cut maintenance costs by up to 25%, and with Inspections, those field-level safety workflows connect directly to fleet health data in IrisX, giving managers real-time visibility and faster response when issues are detected.
“The industry is under pressure to deliver more than equipment as customers expect insight and transparency,” said Ullerup. “With portals and inspections, that value is already being delivered, and AI extends it further.”
Trackunit will exhibit at IRE 2026 in Maastricht, Netherlands, at stand 2332, where live demonstrations of its AI-enabled capabilities will be available.
