Abstract
Computer aided design (CAD) files for a plurality of different kinds of receiving vehicles are loaded to a remote server. Based on a receiving vehicle identifier, a corresponding CAD file or information derived from a CAD file is sent to a leading vehicle that is performing an unloading operation to load material into the receiving vehicle. An unloading control system controls the unloading operation based on the CAD file or information.
Claims20
A method of controlling an unloading operation, comprising:
- detecting a receiving vehicle identifier at a leading vehicle, the receiving vehicle identifier corresponding to a receiving vehicle that receives material from the leading vehicle during the unloading operation;
- accessing, based on the receiving vehicle identifier, computer aided design (CAD) file information corresponding to a CAD file representing the receiving vehicle;
- and
- controlling the unloading operation based on the CAD file information.
1 more element
A machine unloading system comprising:
- at least one processor;
- memory storing instructions executable by the at least one processor, wherein the instructions, when executed, cause the machine unloading system to:
- detect a receiving vehicle identifier at a leading vehicle, the receiving vehicle identifier corresponding to a receiving vehicle that receives material from the leading vehicle during an unloading operation;
- access, based on the receiving vehicle identifier, CAD file information corresponding to a CAD file representing the receiving vehicle;
- and
- control an unloading operation based on the CAD file information.
3 more elements
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving, at a remote server system, a computer aided design (CAD) file representing a receiving vehicle that receives material from a leading vehicle during an unloading operation;
- processing the CAD file to extract CAD file information representing the receiving vehicle;
- obtaining a receiving vehicle identifier from the leading vehicle, the receiving vehicle identifier corresponding to the receiving vehicle;
- and
- controlling an unloading operation based on the CAD file information.
