Event Preview
CONEXPO-CON / AGG 2026 add OBDII powering options, eliminating the need for a hardwired connection, along with additional driver scorecard reporting capabilities. The enhancements are intended to support fleets seeking more flexible deployment options and expanded visibility into driver behavior.
The ClearView smart dashcam, launched in August 2025, combines realtime video monitoring, GPS tracking and AI within a single device. The system is designed to provide fleets with video documentation, driver alerts and integrated telematics data through the DPL Telematics platform.
Incus5
Incus5 will be introducing its next-generation analytics platform designed for the equipment rental and construction industries, located in the North Hall at booth N13254.
The platform is a device-agnostic data intelligence solution that integrates fragmented data streams into intuitive dashboards and actionable reports. It provides fleet managers and contractors with insights into equipment utilization, operational trends and maintenance forecasting. The goal is to enhance operational performance, increase utilization and support informed decision-making across organizations.
The new analytics capabilities include both company-level KPI dashboards and user-specific dashboards, combining advanced visualization with customizable metrics. This allows organizations to monitor underperforming assets, track utilization across multiple locations and forecast maintenance needs.
Incus5’ s open-platform design ensures that rental and construction companies can integrate multiple systems without being locked into a single ecosystem, providing flexibility while delivering comprehensive data intelligence.
