Systems and methods for compensating dipper swing control. One method includes, with at least one processor, determining a direction of compensation opposite a current swing direction of the dipper and applying the maximum available swing torque in the direction of compensation when an acceleration of the dipper is greater than a predetermined acceleration value. The method can also include determining a current state of the shovel and performing the above steps when the current state of the shovel is a swing-to-truck state or a return-to-tuck state. When the current state of the shovel is a dig-state, the method can include limiting the maximum available swing torque and allowing, with the at least one processor, swing torque to ramp up to the maximum available swing torque over a predetermined period of time when dipper is retracted to a predetermined crowd position.

To reduce the burden of an operator when performing a task for identifying which posture information detection sensor is mounted on which front member in a construction machine where the posture information detection sensors are mounted on multiple front members constituting a working machine. An automatic identification system is provided which has an identification task start button for being operated to start an identification task, a front member control means for outputting a control instruction for driving and stopping multiple front members sequentially, individually, and automatically, and a sensor identification means for identifying IMU mounted on each front member based on changes of a detection value of IMU as said each front member is driven by the front member control means.

An intelligent work vehicle preheating system includes an electric drive subsystem containing a battery pack, a hydraulic subsystem containing a first hydraulic fluid (HF) heating device, and a first HF temperature sensor. A memory stores a first minimum target temperature at or above which a first hydraulic fluid body contained in the hydraulic subsystem is desirably maintained. A controller architecture selectively places the intelligent work vehicle preheating system in an off-duty preheat mode when the electric drive subsystem is connected to an external power supply utilized to charge the battery pack. The controller architecture further controls the HF heating device to heat the first hydraulic fluid body when (i) the intelligent work vehicle preheating system is placed in the off-duty preheat mode, and (ii) the current temperature of the first hydraulic fluid body is less than the first minimum target temperature.

A method of controlling a safety apparatus of a construction machine includes: applying a power to the construction machine when a key switch operation of a worker is input; receiving operation signals of the parking switch, the FNR switch, and the pilot cutoff switch; determining whether operation states of the parking switch, the FNR switch, and the pilot cutoff switch satisfy predetermined conditions; and controlling the construction machine to be available for the start-up when the predetermined conditions are satisfied. The predetermined conditions are that the parking switch is operated to be on so that a parking brake is operated, the FNR switch is operated to select a neutral so that a traveling direction of the construction machine is in a neutral state, and the pilot cutoff switch is operated to be on so that the construction machine is in a pilot cutoff state.
