  • Patent number: 12158765
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for managing task assignments for a fleet of haul trucks at a mine site. An assignment engine may: receive state data for a haul truck including haul weight data and second state data for the mine site that is indicative of a plurality of available tasks and associated task material weight data; assign a task to the haul truck by inputting the state data into a trained reinforcement-learning model, wherein: the model has been trained to learn an assignment policy that optimizes a reward function, such that the learned policy accounts for vehicle performance variance due to changing vehicle haul weight and/or road conditions; and cause the at least one haul truck to be operated according to the at least one task assignment.

  • Publication number: 20240202627
    Abstract: A mine site electrification planning apparatus includes a model component to simulate mine site operations under a mine site electrification plan. A simulation control component may provide configuration data to the model component that are descriptive of varying distributions of zero greenhouse gas emitting (ZGHG) mining assets for which the mine site electrification plan is simulated. An optimization control component may identify the configuration data associated with the simulated mine site electrification plan that meets an economic optimization criterion related to physically implementing the mine site electrification plan.

  • Patent number: 10506760
    Abstract: An apparatus (mulcher) for keeping down groundcover between parallel rows of plants, especially rows of wine grape or fruit plants, with two chopping blade rotors rotating in one and the same plane, each around an axis perpendicular to the ground. The distance between the rotational axes is adjustable in a direction perpendicular to the plant rows even though the rotational areas of the chopping blade rotors may overlap. A separate electric motor is assigned to each of the chopping blade rotors, and devices are provided to control the electric motor so that that collisions between the chopping blade rotors are avoided.

  • Patent number: 10401249
    Abstract: A method for detecting an unbalanced payload condition in a machine is disclosed. The method includes detecting, by a first sensor, a pressure exerted on each of one or more struts in the machine by a payload. The method further includes detecting, by a second sensor, one or more operational parameters associated with machine. Furthermore, method includes determining, by a controller, a center of gravity of the payload based on detected pressure, the one or more operational parameters, and one or more dimensions of the machine. Additionally, the method includes determining, by the controller, a force being exerted, by the payload, on each traction member of the machine based on the center of gravity of the payload. The method further includes detecting, by the controller, the unbalanced payload condition when the force, being exerted on at least one traction member of the plurality of traction members, exceeds a threshold value.
