  • Publication number: 20160082954
    Abstract: A method for controlling operations of a first machine and a second machine at a worksite is provided. The method includes establishing a communication between the first machine and the second machine. The method further includes communicating a signal indicative of one or more machine parameters between the first machine and the second machine. The method includes communicating a signal indicative of multiple implement parameters between the first machine and the second machine. The method further includes comparing the one or more machine parameters and the multiple implement parameters of at least one of the first machine and the second machine with a predefined value. The method further includes determining one or more outputs based on the comparison. The method further includes controlling the operation of at least one of the first machine and the second machine based on the one or more outputs to minimize an impact.

  • Publication number: 20150002303
    Abstract: A system to display remaining payload weight for a truck is provided. The system comprises one or more sensors located on a machine, a computing module operably coupled to the one or more sensors, and a comparing module operably coupled to the computing module. Further, the system includes a monitor coupled to the comparing module and the computing module. The monitor displays a remaining payload weight for the truck, with color. A first background color is used when the remaining payload weight is above a tolerance range. A second background color is used when the remaining payload weight is within the tolerance range. A third background color is used when the remaining payload weight is below the tolerance range.
