Patent ID: 8655505

Claim:
A worksite management system for use with a mobile machine, comprising: a control module located onboard the mobile machine and configured to store at least one operational relationship; and an offboard controller located at a worksite of the mobile machine in communication with, the control module, the offboard controller configured to: generate an analysis of machine performance at the worksite; make a determination of a machine performance irregularity based on the analysis; make a determination to positively affect the machine performance irregularity by determining if the machine performance irregularity is a temporary anomaly or a longer-term problem associated with one of the worksite and a particular machine or machines operating at the worksite; temporarily adjust operation of the mobile machine to positively affect performance of the mobile machine when it is determined that the machine performance irregularity is a temporary anomaly; and cause remote reconfiguration of the at least one operational relationship of the mobile machine to positively affect performance of the mobile machine to thereby implement a longer-term change when it is determined that the machine performance irregularity is a longer-term problem.
