Abstract: A method for building a pad at a construction site using a geography-altering machine, the method comprising: receiving a design for the pad at the geography-altering machine, receiving a terrain surface model of the construction site at the geography-altering machine, wherein the terrain surface model is generated using an imaging device located on the geography-altering machine, generating a cut-and-fill map at the geography-altering machine based on the design for the pad and the terrain surface model, generating guidance for building the pad at the geography-altering machine, wherein the guidance includes a starting location and moving directions for the geography-altering machine, monitoring process of building the pad using the imaging device on the geography-altering machine; and updating the cut-and-fill map and the guidance based on the monitored process.

Abstract: A device for managing material delivery productivity is disclosed. The device may receive information identifying a job site, a load zone, a dump zone, a quantity of loads, and a material. The device may provide, to a user device associated with a machine, information indicating that the load zone, the dump zone, the quantity of loads, and the material are assigned to the machine, and may receive, over a time period, location information associated with the machine. The device may determine statuses of the machine over the time period and based on the location information, and may calculate a dump count of the material and a quantity of material delivery cycles, for the machine and at a particular time, based on the statuses of the machine. The device may perform an action based on the dump count of the material and the quantity of material delivery cycles.

Abstract: A machine having a ground-engaging work tool is disclosed includes a traction device configured to move the machine on a ground surface, a control system configured to determine a slip experienced by the machine as the machine moves on the ground surface, and a display device. The display device may be configured to pictorially display (a) the determined slip, and (b) one or more target ranges of slip, wherein the machine efficiency when slip has a value within a target range may be higher compared to the efficiency when slip is outside the target range.
