Abstract: A mounting system for a work machine includes a first member extending along a vertical axis of the mounting system, and a second member extending along the vertical axis and spaced apart from the first member along a lateral axis of the mounting system. The mounting system also includes a bracket assembly extending between the first member and the second member. The bracket assembly is disposable at a location along the vertical axis based on a removable coupling of the bracket assembly with each of the first member and the second member. The mounting system further includes an imaging device coupled with the bracket assembly. A position of the imaging device is adjustable with respect to the lateral axis of the mounting system and the vertical axis, such that a portion of a work implement of the work machine lies in a field of view of the imaging device.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for operating a machine. The method includes (1) receiving image data of a component of the machine by a camera module of the machine, the camera module having multiple camera components; (2) detecting an incident associated with the camera module; (3) in response to the incident, instructing the camera module to collect image data from a subset of the multiple camera components; and (4) generating a status image of the component based on the collected image data from the subset of the multiple camera components.

Abstract: An energy storage system associated with a machine having a work tool and one or more auxiliary loads includes a power source which generates mechanical power. An energy storage device supplies power to the one or more auxiliary loads. An electrical generator is operably coupled to the power source and converts at least a portion of the mechanical power into electrical power. The electrical generator supplies the electrical power to the energy storage device. A controller is communicably coupled to the power source, the work tool, the energy storage device, and the electrical generator. The controller determines a power demand of the work tool. The controller then compares whether the determined power demand exceeds a pre-determined threshold power. The controller disables the electrical generator from supplying the electrical power to the energy storage device if the power demand exceeds the pre-determined threshold power.
