System and method for monitoring an earth-moving operation of a machine
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for monitoring an operation of a machine having an implement, the method comprising:
- determining a fuel consumption rate value of the machine,the fuel consumption rate value corresponding to a fuel consumption rate by the machine performing the operation;
generating a provisional value based at least in part on the fuel consumption rate value for the operation;
determining one or more thresholds for the operation,the one or more thresholds corresponding to a normal fuel consumption rate value of the machine for performing the operation; and
generating a status indicator, indicative of a score of the operation performed by the machine, based at least in part on a comparison of the provisional value and the one or more thresholds,the score of the operation being indicative of productivity and efficiency of the machine performing the operation.

Abstract
A computer-implemented method for monitoring an operation performed by a machine having an implement is provided. The method includes determining a fuel consumption rate value of the machine. The method also includes generating a provisional value based at least in part on the fuel consumption rate value for the operation. The method further includes determining one or more thresholds for the operation. The one or more thresholds correspond to a normal fuel consumption rate value of the machine for the operation. The method further includes generating a status indicator, indicative of a score of the operation based at least in part on a comparison of the provisional value and the one or more thresholds.
