Abstract: Example machine usage systems and methods are disclosed. An example system for increasing usage of a machine includes a usage predictor to automatically identify a down period of the machine at a primary location; a usage allocator to automatically assign the machine to a supplemental use during the down period; a cost adjustor to adjust a cost of the machine using the usage value; a transport vehicle to transport the machine from the primary location to the supplemental location; and a transport planner to automatically trigger a transport of the machine to the supplemental location for the supplemental use. The transport planner includes a positioning device to estimate a transportation time between the primary location to the supplemental location and to determine a departure time, and a transport triggering system to trigger an operation of the transport vehicle to transport the machine to the supplemental location at the departure time.
