  • Publication number: 20260095726
    Abstract: A site connectivity system includes a first connectivity module configured to be coupled to a first machine. The first connectivity module may join a site network formed between a plurality of connectivity modules associated with a plurality of machines when the first connectivity module is within communication range of at least one of the plurality of connectivity modules. The first connectivity module may transmit first data associated with the first machine to at least one or more of the plurality of connectivity modules within communication range of the first connectivity module. The first connectivity module may transmit second data received from at least a respective one of the plurality of connectivity modules to one or more of the plurality of connectivity modules not in communication range of the respective one of the plurality of connectivity modules.

  • Patent number: 12495276
    Abstract: A local fleet connectivity system for identifying multiple machines. The system includes a plurality of connectivity modules. Each connectivity module is communicatively and physically coupled to one of a plurality of machines. Each connectivity module configured to communicate with the other connectivity modules via a network connection. The system further includes a user device configured to communicate with the connectivity modules via a network connection. In response to a user selection on an application hosted on the user device, two or more machines of the plurality of machines are identified by one or both of an audible signal or a visual signal.

  • Publication number: 20250142297
    Abstract: An equipment identification system for identifying machines at a site includes a plurality of machines configured to generate one or both of audible signals or visual signals and a user device. The user device is configured to communicate with the plurality of machines through a network connection, identify a subset of the plurality of machines based on a user selection, instruct each machine in the subset to generate a first indication, and instruct one or more of the machines that are not included in the subset to generate a second indication, wherein the second indication is different from the first indication.
