Trackunit has expanded the capabilities of its IrisX operating platform, allowing customers to directly connect its equipment intelligence data to major AI clients, including Claude, ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot, with no custom integration to build.
Unlike AI capabilities tied to a single application, IrisX MCP follows the open Model Context Protocol standard, enabling secure, two-way integration between AI models and external data sources or tools. Data access is governed and secure, with customer-controlled permissions throughout.
Teams can query their fleet in natural language to spot patterns across machines, connect a fault today to a warning logged months ago, and flag the assets most likely to fail next, Trackunit says. In the same conversation, customers can take immediate action on what they find, triggering alerts, updating records and automating multi-step tasks, without logging into a dashboard.
“The challenge isn’t collecting construction data,” says Fred Rio, Senior Vice President of Product at Trackunit. “It’s making that intelligence easily available and actionable for the people who need it. IrisX MCP does that.”

The new capabilities enhance the speed and accuracy at which teams can work.
For OEMs: Fault codes tracked across the product base uncover aftermarket opportunities. Warranty and engineering teams can ask which model variants generate a fault most often, and under what operating conditions, enabling design and aftermarket decisions based on real-world field data rather than factory test cycles.
For rental companies: Branch teams can identify off-rent assets, machines used beyond contract hours, and units degrading toward failure, allowing them to redeploy or service them before the cost lands at a customer site.
The IrisX MCP can also run reports continuously, Trackunit says, getting teams out of manual weekly or monthly reporting and data cleaning cycles and saving time.
IrisX augments over 3 billion data points daily from construction equipment across more than 65 countries, structured and harmonized specifically for construction. Customers control exactly what the AI can see and do, with access revocable at any time.
“Trackunit is committed to helping customers turn their connected equipment data into the applications, insights, and automations they need, without locking them into a closed ecosystem,” says Rio. “With IrisX MCP, we’re giving customers greater flexibility to connect data, intelligence, and tools in the ways that create the most value for their business.”
IrisX MCP is available now to all Trackunit IrisX customers.
