Abstract
A logic system aggregates metrics from a plurality of combine harvesters and controls a communication system to send aggregated metrics back to the combine harvesters and to send both machine performance metrics and aggregate metrics to a remote user computing system, for remote user control.
Claims20
A computing system, comprising:
- multi-machine aggregation logic configured to obtain and aggregate a set of machine performance metrics indicative of performance of a plurality of remote harvesting machines;
- group metric generator logic configured to generate a set of group performance metrics based on the aggregated machine performance metrics;
- a communication system;
- and
- analytics logic configured to control the communication system to send the set of group performance metrics to each of the plurality of remote harvesting machines from which the set of machine performance metrics are obtained, and to send the obtained machine performance metrics and the set of group performance metrics to a remote computing system corresponding to the plurality of remote harvesting machines.

A computer implemented method, comprising:
- obtaining a set of machine performance metrics, from a plurality of different remote harvesting machines, indicative of performance of the plurality of different remote harvesting machines;
- aggregating the sets of machine performance metrics to obtain aggregated machine performance metrics, aggregated across the plurality of different remote harvesting machines;
- generating a set of group performance metrics based on the aggregated machine performance metrics;
- controlling a communication system to send the set of group performance metrics to each of the plurality of different remote harvesting machines from which the set of performance metrics are obtained;
- and
- controlling the communication system to send the obtained machine performance metrics and the set of group performance metrics to a remote computing system corresponding to the plurality of different remote harvesting machines.
