Abstract
Systems and methods for operating a mining machine with respect to a geofence. One system includes an electronic processor configured to determine a first virtual operation zone positioned around the mobile industrial machine, where the first virtual operation zone is a dynamic area around the mobile industrial machine. The electronic processor is also configured to modify a parameter of the first virtual operation zone.
Claims20
A system for operating a mobile industrial machine with respect to a geofence, the system comprising:
- an electronic processor configured to:
- receive a command for controlling the mobile industrial machine,
- determine a first operation zone positioned around the mobile industrial machine, wherein the first operation zone is a dynamic area around the mobile industrial machine,
- determine whether a perimeter point of a first operation zone positioned around the mobile industrial machine is within a restricted region, and
- in response to determining that the perimeter point of the first operation zone is within the restricted region:
- determine whether performance of the command increases penetration of the first operation zone into the restricted region, and
- control the mobile industrial machine to perform the command or a stop command based on whether the performance of the command increases penetration of the first operation zone into the restricted region.
A system for operating a mobile industrial machine with respect to a geofence, the system comprising:
- an electronic processor configured to:
- determine a first virtual operation zone positioned around the mobile industrial machine, wherein the first virtual operation zone is a dynamic area around the mobile industrial machine,
- modify a parameter of the first virtual operation zone,
- dynamically modify the first virtual operation zone based on a change in a configuration of a component of the mobile industrial machine, the change in the configuration including a change in a position or an angle of the component relative to a base of the mobile industrial machine, and
- control the mobile industrial machine based on the first virtual operation zone.
