A work machine includes a chassis, a wheel, an implement, a user interface, and a utilization monitoring system. The wheel is rotatably coupled to the chassis. The implement is movable relative to the chassis. The user interface is configured to receive a user input. The utilization monitoring system includes one or more memory devices configured to store instructions thereon that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to obtain one or more values representing an operational range of the implement; receive the user input; determine a value representing a position of the implement; and determine a value representing a utilization of the implement by comparing the position of the implement to the one or more values representing the operational range of the implement.

The movable lifting system (1, 2) comprising a telehandler (1) which in turn comprises: a movable lifting arm (11) provided at a distal end, with a coupling device (111) for the removable fixing of equipment (112) or of the type adapted to grip loads, such as a fork, grippers or the like, or of the type suitable for lifting persons and work tools such as a basket or the like; and a powertrain assembly for movement on the ground. The system (1, 2) further comprises: control means, arranged on board the telehandler (1), provided to manage the operation of the powertrain assembly, adapted to receive command signals and adapted to regulate the operation of the assembly according to the command signals; and command means (2), separate from the telehandler (1), to be activated by an operator (3) and predisposed to produce the command signals.

A work site equipment grouping system includes a plurality of work machines including a first work machine and a second work machine. Each work machine is configured to wirelessly communicate with other work machines. The system further includes a local area network including a plurality of communicatively connected nodes, the nodes including the first work machine and the second work machine. The system further includes a third work machine configured to detect one of the first work machine or the second work machine within a signal range of the third work machine and, upon detecting one of the first work machine or the second work machine, automatically join the local area network.

A transport device includes rollable elements configured to both support and move the transport device on a surface; and a drive mechanism for driving the rollable elements. A load bearing mechanism is movable between a lowered position adjacent to the surface and at least one raised position, and is supported by a support frame having a front wall, two side walls and an open back. The load bearing mechanism is mounted such that the side walls and front wall of the support frame extend around the load bearing mechanism. An actuator is mounted on one of the walls of the support frame for controllably raising and lowering the load bearing mechanism and the rollable elements are mounted adjacent to the side walls of the support frame and support the two side walls at four locations, such that a center of gravity is between the four locations.

Dynamic allocation and coordination of auto-navigating vehicles uses robotic vehicles and centrally dispatched roaming order selectors to create a significantly more efficient, yet flexible, approach to picking goods within a warehouse. Robotic vehicles are configured to be loaded with goods from pick faces to fill orders. Each robotic vehicle follows a route that includes appropriate pick face locations. The robotic vehicles navigate from pick face to pick face where particular goods are located. Order selectors are dynamically and independently dispatched to meet the robotic vehicles at their pick face locations to load goods. Movement of the order selectors is orchestrated to increase efficiency in the order filling process within the warehouse.

A machine localization system includes a work machine including an extendable implement, a first pressure sensor coupled to the work machine, a second pressure sensor located at a known elevation, and a computing system operably coupled to the work machine, the first pressure sensor, and the second pressure sensor. The computing system is configured to receive a first pressure measurement from the first pressure sensor and a second pressure measurement from the second pressure sensor, determine a maximum operating height of the extendable implement based on a difference between the first pressure measurement and the second pressure measurement, and configure the extendable implement to not exceed the maximum operating height.

A mobile omnidirectional device having a base support, four wheels pivotally connected to the base support, each wheel being driven by a drive motor, a controller for individually controlling each of the drive motors, and a power source for powering the controller and the drive motors. The device provides a zero inch turning radius and can be configured as a jib hoist or a rolling transportation cart.

A loading vehicle detects the position of a receiving vehicle relative to the loading vehicle and determines whether the receiving vehicle is to be repositioned. If so, it sends a repositioning message to the receiving vehicle and receives acknowledgement that the loading vehicle has remote control of the positioning mechanisms in the receiving vehicle. A loading vehicle operator input is detected and a position control signal is sent to the receiving vehicle to reposition it relative to the loading vehicle.

A pendant assembly for a rescue hoist may comprise a pendant, an interface box discrete from the pendant, and a display screen discrete from the pendant. The pendant may include a hoist input. The interface box may be configured to receive a control input from the pendant. The display screen may be configured to receive a display command from the interface box.

An industrial vehicle remote operation system includes a forklift truck that includes a vehicle communication unit, a remote operation device that includes a remote communication unit performing wireless communication with the vehicle communication unit and is used for remotely operating the industrial vehicle, and a forced stop control unit configured to decelerate and forcibly stop traveling of the industrial vehicle while maintaining a steering angle of the industrial vehicle formed when a forced stop condition is met, in a case where the forced stop condition is met during a remote operation of traveling of the industrial vehicle using the remote operation device.
