TruckIT co-founder and CEO Andrew Lindsay will be part of the “Sustainability through Technologies” panel at the International Society for Intelligent Construction (ISIC) conference, held Sept. 10-12 in Orlando, Fla. The panel, held at 2:55 pm on Sept. 12, features Lindsay and TruckIT representing construction technology; Soheil Nazarian of the University of Texas at El Paso representing academia; Tom Yu from the Federal Highway Administration; Ben Worel and Rebecca Embacher from the Minnesota Department of Transportation; Brian Pidwerbesky from Fulton Hogan (N.Z.), representing contractors; as well as Liang Gao from XCMG (China) and Paul Angerhofer from Moba (USA), representing manufacturers.

Prior to co-founding TruckIT, Lindsay’s construction company Astra Group built major infrastructure projects including the majority of the Atlanta BeltLine project, a biking/walking path and greenway that has improved connectivity for 45 Atlanta neighborhoods, added 1,300 acres of new parks and green space, and led to an estimated $10 billion in economic growth.

“The construction industry has an innate responsibility to consider sustainability and environmental concerns in nearly every decision that we make,” said Lindsay. “TruckIT’s mission is to digitize the manual processes that hamper efficiency across every construction organization and jobsite. One of the benefits of having connected digital tools is that we can achieve better asset utilization—like minimizing heavy trucks idling at load sites or waiting for drop off, burning fuel, when those deliveries could have been scheduled and ‘staggered’ through digital dispatch.”

ISIC’s mission is to promote intelligent construction technology applications within the life cycle of infrastructure (survey, design, construction, operation, and maintenance/rehabilitation) while adapting to environmental conditions and minimizing risk. In addition to Lindsay’s panel, TruckIT will be part of the conference, displaying at booth #13.

TruckIT’s web and mobile leverages advancements in artificial intelligence (AI), cloud computing and IoT connectivity. TruckIT’s AirTicket™ e-Ticketing solution provides the construction material supply chain with a fully automated, paperless system for record keeping, reconciliation, material monitoring and billing, with real-time ticket data accessible for all participating stakeholders within the material chain of custody.
