Multi-phase material blend monitoring and control

A method, comprising:

• identifying a material tracking event record, associated with a material load transported by a first machine and incorporated into a cumulative material blend at a material processor, indicating an initial load determination of one or more characteristics of the material load, the material tracking event record having been generated, during a first phase and based on initial data received from the first machine, substantially in real-time within a threshold period of time following receipt of the initial data;
• determining, during a second phase after the first phase, and based on additional data associated with the material load received during the second phase from a data source separate from the first machine, that the initial load determination indicated by the material tracking event record is erroneous or incomplete;
• updating, during the second phase, the material tracking event record to indicate an updated load determination of the one or more characteristics of the material load, based at least in part on the initial data received during the first phase and the additional data received during the second phase, wherein updating the material tracking event record comprises generating an event modification record that overrides at least a portion of the material tracking event record;
• generating, during the second phase, operating instructions for at least one of the first machine or a second machine, based at least in part on the updated load determination indicated by the material tracking event record in combination with the event modification record;
• and
• providing, during the second phase, the operating instructions to the at least one of the first machine or the second machine, wherein the operating instructions cause the at least one of the first machine or the second machine to perform one or more operations.

A system, comprising:

• a first hauling machine operable to transport materials from one or more material sources to one or more material processors within an environment, the first hauling machine comprising:
• one or more first sensors configured to detect at least one of first machine state data or first environmental data associated with the first hauling machine;
• and
• a first wireless communication system;
• a second hauling machine operable to transport the materials from the one or more material sources to the one or more material processors within the environment, the second hauling machine comprising:
• one or more second sensors configured to detect at least one of second machine state data or second environmental data associated with the second hauling machine;
• and
• a second wireless communication system;
• and
• a remote processing system having:
• one or more central processing units (CPUs), and
• memory storing executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more CPUs, cause the remote processing system to:
• identify a material tracking event record that:
• is associated with a material load transported by the first hauling machine and incorporated into a cumulative material blend at a material processor of the one or more material processors,
• indicates an initial load determination of one or more characteristics of the material load, and
• was generated during a first phase, based on initial sensor data captured by the one or more first sensors, substantially in real-time within a threshold period of time following receipt of the initial sensor data transmitted via the first wireless communication system;
• determine, during a second phase after the first phase, and based on additional data associated with the material load received during the second phase from a data source separate from the first hauling machine, that the initial load determination indicated by the material tracking event record is erroneous or incomplete;
• update, during the second phase, the material tracking event record to indicate an updated load determination of the one or more characteristics of the material load, determined based at least in part on the initial sensor data and the additional data received during the second phase, wherein updating the material tracking event record comprises generating an event modification record that at overrides at least a portion of the material tracking event record;
• generate, during the second phase, one or more operating instructions for the second hauling machine, based at least in part on the updated load determination of the one or more characteristics of the material load indicated by the event modification record in combination with the material tracking event record;
• and
• transmit, during the second phase, the one or more operating instructions to the second wireless communication system of the second hauling machine, wherein the one or more operating instructions cause the second hauling machine to perform one or more operations.
