A controller may obtain, from one or more first devices of a first machine, first information regarding a load associated with a first portion of an object. The first portion, of the object, may be carried by an implement of the first machine and a second portion, of the object, may be carried by an implement of a second machine. The controller may obtain, from one or more second devices of the first machine, second information regarding an orientation of the first machine. The controller may determine, based on the first information and a threshold derived based on the second information, that a load drop condition is satisfied; perform a first action associated with dropping the load; and transmit, to the second machine, information regarding the first action to cause the second machine to perform a second action.

The production planner computationally defines production arcs for transferring material from loading tools to dump sites, computationally develops one or more possible return arcs for each production arc, compiles a set of possible return arcs, and computationally selects a sub-set of the possible return arcs to command a real time dispatcher.

A construction management system includes a construction amount data calculation unit configured to calculate, based on a current landform and a design landform of a construction site, construction amount data of the construction site, an original unit data acquisition unit configured to acquire original unit data indicating a specific condition of a work device that constructs the construction site, a construction plan data calculation unit configured to calculate, based on the construction amount data and the original unit data, a construction plan corresponding to a target construction period, and a construction cost required when construction is executed using the construction plan, and a construction plan data output unit configured to cause an output device to output the construction cost corresponding to the target construction period.

According to some implementations, a magnetic sensor may include a communication device; a magnetic switch; and a controller configured to: determine whether the magnetic switch is actuated by a magnet associated with the bucket tooth; generate, based on determining whether the magnetic switch is actuated, a message concerning an attachment status of the bucket tooth; and cause the communication device to wirelessly transmit the message.

A mining machine is disclosed. The mining machine may include a mobile ranging device, a movement sensor device, and a control unit. The mobile ranging device may be configured to communicate with a location sensor device and cause the location sensor device to transmit location data relating to a location of the mining machine. The movement sensor device may be configured to transmit movement data relating to a movement of the mining machine. The control unit may be configured to receive coordinate data relating to a plurality of zones and a plurality of drawpoints of a tunnel, the location data, and the movement data. The control unit may identify an active zone, determine a machine heading, determine a machine articulation, identify an active drawpoint based on the active zone, the machine heading, or the machine articulation, and cause an action to be performed in connection with the active drawpoint.

A method for collision threat filtering is disclosed. The method may include determining trajectory information associated with a plurality of machines. The method may include identifying, based on the trajectory information, one or more potential collisions among the plurality of machines, the one or more potential collisions including a potential collision between a first machine, of the plurality of machines, and a second machine of the plurality of machines. The method may include determining whether to filter the potential collision between the first machine and the second machine. Whether the potential collision is filtered may be determined based on a set of filtering parameters and machine information associated with at least one of the first machine or the second machine. The method may include selectively performing a collision prevention action, associated with the potential collision, based on whether the potential collision is to be filtered.

A data collection device is mounted on a work machine and collects data that is collectable from the work machine. The data collection device includes a collectable list generation unit and a collectable list notification unit. The collectable list generation unit updates a collectable list indicating a type of data that is collectable from the work machine, in a case in which a change has occurred in the type of data that is collectable. The collectable list notification unit transmits the updated collectable list to an external device outside the work machine.

Industrial machines at a mine site or other worksite are monitored and controlled using a multi-phase implementation, based on data received from multiple data sources at different times. Machine telemetry data or other sensor data received from a first machine, in combination with additional sensor data from other machines at the site, detailed material attribute data received from external data sources, and/or outputs from trained machine-learned models, are used to determine characteristics of a material load and/or material blend, and to control machines at the mine site. A control system performs a multi-phase implementation for monitoring machines and/or load data in response to data received at different times, updating the material load and blend characteristics, and controlling machines at the site based on the characteristics of the material load or material blend.
