Embodiment Construction

[0012] figure 1 A site 10 is shown, such as a surface mining operation. Various machines may be operated at or between different locations on site 10 as part of the mining function. These machines may include digging machines 12, loading machines 14, hauling machines 16, transport machines (not shown), and other types of machines known in the art. Each machine at site 10 may communicate with each other and with central station 18 via wireless communications to transmit and receive operational data and instructions remotely.

[0013] Excavation machine 12 may refer to any machine that reduces material at site 10 for subsequent operations, ie, for blasting, loading, and hauling operations. Examples of excavation machines 12 may include excavators, backhoes, bulldozers, drills, trenchers, draglines, and the like. Multiple excavation machines 12 may be co-located in a common area at site 10 and may perform similar functions. Thus, under typical conditions, similar co-located e...

Abstract

A worksite management system for use with a mobile machine is disclosed. The worksite management system may have a control module located onboard the mobile machine and configured to control operations of the mobile machine, and a controller in communication with the control module. The controller may be configured to anticipate a non-failure machine performance irregularity, and determine an adjustment to an operation of the mobile machine that positively affects the machine performance irregularity. The controller may also be configured to cause implementation of the adjustment before the machine performance irregularity occurs.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to a site management system, and more particularly to a site management system implementing predictive machine control. Background technique [0002] Mining, construction, and other large excavation operations require teams of excavating, loading, and hauling machines to remove and transport excavated materials, such as ore and overburden, from the excavation area to a processing site. For such an operation to be profitable, the fleet of machines must be operated with high output and efficiency. Many factors can affect productivity and efficiency on site, including, among others, site conditions (e.g., rain, snow, ground moisture levels, material composition, visibility, terrain profile, road conditions, etc.) and machine conditions (e.g., age, state of disrepair, breakdown, fuel grade used, payload, tire pressure, transmission shift points, fuel limits, steering limits, etc.). When a machine is manufactured, it is cons...
