LOCAL FLEET CONNECTIVITY SYSTEM AND METHODS
A local fleet connectivity system includes a plurality of machines disposed at a location. Each of the plurality of machines includes an implement and a prime mover configured to drive the implement. The system includes at least one control module communicably coupled with a first machine of the plurality of machines. The system includes at least one connectivity module communicably coupled with the plurality of machines. The at least one control module is configured to establish, via the at least one connectivity module, a connection between the plurality of machines. The at least one control module is configured to exchange, via the at least one connectivity module, data between the plurality of machines.
MULTIPLE MACHINE IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM AND METHOD
A local fleet connectivity system for identifying multiple machines. The system includes a plurality of connectivity modules. Each connectivity module is communicatively and physically coupled to one of a plurality of machines. Each connectivity module configured to communicate with the other connectivity modules via a network connection. The system further includes a user device configured to communicate with the connectivity modules via a network connection. In response to a user selection on an application hosted on the user device, two or more machines of the plurality of machines are identified by one or both of an audible signal or a visual signal.
EQUIPMENT IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM AND METHOD

ONBOARD DOCUMENTATION SYSTEM AND METHODS
An onboard documentation system for a lift device comprises a controller coupled to the lift device, the controller configured to receive documentation associated with the lift device, store the documentation locally on the lift device, receive a request for the documentation from a user, and provide the documentation stored locally on the lift device to the user in response to the request.
Structure borne sound for TPMS localization and communication
A tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) sensor module as provided herein includes a pressure sensor configured to measure an internal air pressure of a tire and generate tire pressure information; a transducer configured to receive a structure borne sound signal induced by sound waves; a receiver circuit electrically connected to the transducer and configured to detect the structure borne sound signal and generate a detection indication that the structure borne sound signal has been detected; a processing circuit electrically connected to the pressure sensor and the receiver circuit, and configured to receive the tire pressure information from the pressure sensor, receive the detection indication from the receiver circuit, and generate a communication signal in response to receiving the detection indication; and a transmitter electrically connected to the processing circuit and configured to transmit the communication signal.
ELECTRONIC COMMERCE-ENABLED LOCAL FLEET CONNECTIVITY SYSTEM AND METHOD
An electronic commerce system includes a work machine and a controller communicably coupled to the work machine and the user device. The controller is configured to generate a graphical user interface on a display, the graphical user interface comprising information related to the work machine and collect operation data from at least one of the work machine or the user device. The controller is further configured to generate a recommendation based on the operation data, provide the recommendation to a user via the graphical user interface, receive a user input interacting with the recommendation, and initiate a transaction implementing the recommendation.
MACHINE CONNECTIVITY MODULE WITH INTEGRATED BEACON
A lift device, the lift device including an implement, a prime mover configured to drive the implement, and a connectivity module with a beacon communicably coupled with the lift device. The connectivity module is configured to receive an input relating to a criteria of the lift device, and communicate an output, the output including the criteria of the lift device, to one or more components of the lift device.
EQUIPMENT VISUAL STATUS INDICATOR SYSTEM AND METHOD
A lift device having an implement, a prime mover configured to drive the implement, and a connectivity module communicably coupled with the lift device. The connectivity module is configured to receive an input relating to a status of the lift device, and provide an indication representing the status of the lift device.
