METHOD AND SYSTEMS FOR MONITORING MACHINE AND OPERATOR PRODUCTIVITY AND PROFITABILITY
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- collecting cost data indicative of production systems using machinery on or in conjunction with natural resource management using an onboard computer of the machine;
collecting environmental data using the onboard computer, the environmental data indicative of environmental conditions associated with use of the machine and/or management and production of a natural resource.collecting machine and/or natural resource data using the onboard computer, the machine data indicative of operation of the machine and production of the natural resource; and
performing an analysis of at least one of cost data or revenue data using the environmental data and the machine data, the analysis performed using the onboard computer or a computer remotely connected.
