Multiple machine identification system and method

A local fleet connectivity system for identifying multiple machines at a site, the system comprising:

• one or more processing circuits comprising one or more memory devices coupled to one or more processors, the one or more memory devices configured to store instructions thereon that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
• communicate across a wireless network by sending messages to a plurality of machines and a user device each communicatively connected to the network;
• generate a graphical user interface (GUI) comprising a list of the plurality of machines;
• send the GUI to a screen of the user device for display;
• receive, via the GUI, an indication of a selection one or more attributes or criteria;
• filter, in response to receiving the indication, the list to create a subset of machines, from the plurality of machines, that match the selected attributes or criteria;
• receive, via the GUI, an indication of a required number of machines;
• identify a subgroup of machines from the subset of machines, wherein the subgroup of machines comprises the required number of machines;
• and
• send a message instructing each of the subgroup of machines to generate one or both of a visual indication or an audible indication, the message instructing each machine to generate a visual or audible indication that is different than visual or audible indications of the other machines, wherein the subgroup of machines consists of the machines in the subset of machines that are (a) physically closest to the user device or (b) the physically closest to a selected location.

A method of identifying multiple machines at a site, the method comprising:

• generating a graphical user interface (GUI) comprising a list of a plurality of machines;
• sending the GUI to a screen of a user device for display;
• receiving, via the GUI, an indication of a selection one or more attributes or criteria;
• filtering, in response to receiving the indication, the list to create a subset of machines, from the plurality of machines, that match the selected attributes or criteria;
• sending messages instructing each of a subgroup of machines in the subset of machines to generate a different visual indication;
• and
• updating the GUI to identify the visual indication associated with each machine in the subgroup of machines.
