Abstract: A system for allocating resources includes a plurality of first machines at a work area and a plurality of second machines at a remote location. A controller stores a material movement goal for a production time period, and determine a total capacity at the work area based upon a capacity of the first machines and the production time period. The total capacity at the work area is compared to the desired material movement goal and upon the total capacity at the work area exceeding the desired material movement goal, operational instructions are generated for and communicated to selected ones of the first machines. Upon the total capacity at the work area being less than the desired material movement goal an alert command is generated and some of the second machines may be moved to the work area.

Abstract: A system provides feedback for a machine operation performed by a first machine with the machine operation corresponding to a first type of machine operation and including a quantitatively measurable tuning parameter associated therewith. The system includes a work implement for moving material at a work site to perform the machine operation and a controller. The controller is configured to generate a high performance reference based upon a plurality of reference operations performed by at least another machine with the plurality of reference operations corresponding to the first type of machine operation and determine a performance parameter for the machine operation performed by the first machine. The controller is further configured to compare the performance parameter to the high performance reference and generate a notice upon a difference between the performance parameter and the high performance reference exceeding a threshold.

Abstract: System and methods for managing an equipment fleet including one or more machines are disclosed. One method includes receiving first information relating to an availability of one or more machines of a plurality of machines, receiving second information relating to a machine role of the one or more machines, receiving third information relating to a pairing state of the one or more machines, and determining a suitable pairing for at least one of the plurality of machines based upon at least the first information, the second information, and the third information.
