Embodiment Construction

[0019] Referring now to the accompanying drawings, specifically refer to figure 1 , which shows the machine 10 and the material dump operation planning system 12 for the machine 10 and any additional machines 10 operating at the job site 14 . Although figure 1 Machine 10 in is generally depicted as a truck-type machine, although the teachings of the present invention may relate to other work machines as well. As used herein, the term "machine" may refer to any machine that performs some type of work related to material handling, such as, but not limited to, earth moving, construction, mining and / or farming. For example, machine 10 may be an earth moving machine such as a bulldozer, wheel loader, excavator, dump truck, mining truck, backhoe, motor grader, material handler, telehandler Wait.

[0020] In the illustrated embodiment, the machine 10 may be any machine used at a job site 14 for mass material handling and generally includes a plurality of wheels 16 , a prime mover ...

Abstract

A system for planning material dumping operations includes one or more machine controllers and a dump zone controller. Each of the one or more machine controllers are configured to provide dump planning information for the one or more machines and configured to determine actual dump information for dumping operations of machines. The dump zone controller is communicatively coupled with each of theone or more machine controllers and configured to initialize a dump zone. The dump zone controller is configured to plan an array of dump locations at the dump zone, each dumping location associatedwith a dumping operation. The dump zone controller is further configured to update the array of dump locations based on the actual dump information, the updated array of dump locations including, at least, updated dump location instructions, the updated dump locations based, in part, on the array of dump locations and the actual dump information.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to process planning of dumping operations, and in particular to a system for dynamically altering dumping operations based on current conditions. Background technique [0002] In many industrial operations such as material handling operations, mining operations, transportation operations, etc., machines are used to load and / or dump materials in specific areas of the job site. During these operations, machines, such as, but not limited to, trucks, loaders, etc., may move material from one location on the job site to a second location on the job site. When the machine reaches said second location, the machine can then dump the material previously loaded on it at the second location. [0003] These dumping operations can be performed in conjunction with the machine's control system when operating on the job site. When employed in dumping operations, the control system may perform the dumping task by controlling th...
