  • Patent number: 12613534
    Abstract: A technique is directed to methods and systems for creating digital representations jobsites. The jobsite creation system can collect machine data, such as location data, from machines in a worksite and determine the role, such as loading, hauling, drilling, etc. of each machine in the worksite. The machines are grouped together and organized based on which machines operate in a geographic region together. The jobsite creation system generates a digital representation of a jobsite with a site boundary based on the machine groupings. A user can view the jobsite on a user interface to monitor the operation of the machines and track productivity and utilization data for the machines in the jobsite.

  • Publication number: 20260105787
    Abstract: A method for determining productivity of a machine includes generating a grid in a virtual map; detecting at least one pass executed by an object with respect to grid cells; determining a first set of cells for which a count of passes exceeds a count threshold; measure a first and a second elevation data of the machine corresponding to each cell of the first set of cells when the object correspondingly executes a first pass and a second pass with respect to said each cell; comparing the second and first elevation data corresponding to said each cell to compute an elevation change; identifying a second set of cells from the first set of cells for which the elevation change exceeds an elevation threshold; clustering the second set of cells to define a work region; and calculating a volume of earth altered based on the work region to determine the productivity.
