Abstract: A monitoring system for a machine having a bowl is provided. The monitoring system includes a perception sensor provided in association with the bowl of the machine. The perception sensor is configured to generate a signal indicative of a view of the bowl. The monitoring system also includes a controller coupled to the perception sensor. The controller is configured to receive the signal indicative of the view of the howl from the perception sensor. The controller is configured to determine a level of material within the bowl based on the received signal. The controller is configured to determine a current loading status of the bowl based on the determined level of the material. The controller is also configured to provide an indication of the current loading status.

Abstract: A method for controlling a bowl of a scraper is disclosed. The method includes receiving a signal from an input device, the signal is indicative of a mode of operation of the scraper, determining a cycle of operation of the scraper associated with the mode of operation, and controlling the bowl based in part on a sequence of parameter settings generated by a control system. The control system is configured to generate the sequence of parameter settings based in part on the cycle of operation of the scraper.
