  • System and method to display and track machine interrupted loading cycles
    Patent number: 9939311
    Abstract: A payload monitoring system is disclosed. The payload monitoring system may include a machine, an operator interface configured to receive input from and output data to an operator of the machine, and a controller in communication with the machine and the operator interface. The machine may include an implement assembly for loading payload material onto at least one receptacle. The controller may be configured to start a first load cycle to monitor loading of payload material by the implement assembly onto a first receptacle, receive a signal from the operator interface to pause the first load cycle, stop monitoring of the first load cycle, and save data associated with the first load cycle into a memory associated with the controller.
