Abstract
An operator training system for a machine is disclosed. The operator training system comprises an interface in communication with a machine and a processor communicatively coupled to the interface. The processor is configured to receive, via the interface, operation data associated with operation of the machine. The processor is further configured to determine an operator performance value for an operator of the machine based on the received operation data. The processor is also configured to compare the operator performance value with a benchmark value. The processor is further configured to provide one or more training tools to the operator if the operator performance value is less than the benchmark value.
Claims29
A method for training an operator of a machine, comprising:
- receiving, in an operator training system, operation data associated with operation of the machine;
- determining an operator performance value for an operator of the machine based on the received operation data;
- comparing the operator performance value with a benchmark value;
- and
- providing one or more training tools to the operator if the operator performance value is less than the benchmark value.
An operator training system, comprising;
- an interface in communication with a machine;
- a processor communicatively coupled to the interface and configured to:
- receive, via the interface, operation data associated with operation of the machine;
- determine an operator performance value for an operator of the machine based on the received operation data;
- compare the operator performance value with a benchmark value;
- and
- provide one or more training tools to the operator if the operator performance value is less than the benchmark value.
A machine environment, comprising:
- a machine, including:
- at least one sensing device for collecting operation data associated with one or more components of the machine;
- and
- a controller communicatively coupled to the at least one sensing device and configured to control one or more components or subsystems associated with the machine;
- and
- an operator training system, operatively coupled to the machine and configured to:
- receive operation data associated with operation of the machine;
- determine an operator performance value for an operator of the machine based on the received operation data;
- compare the operator performance value with a benchmark value;
- and
- provide one or more training tools to the operator if the operator performance value is less than the benchmark value.
