System and method for managing operator settings for a work machine

A system, comprising:

• a work machine including one or more sensors and a controller, the one or more sensors configured to detect performance characteristics of the work machine during a first instance of a work activity executed by an operator, the controller configured to cause the performance characteristics and an initial operator-specific configuration for the work machine to be transmitted across a wireless network, the initial operator-specific configuration associated with an identification of the operator;
• one or more servers coupled to the work machine through the wireless network, the one or more servers comprising one or more processors and one or more computer-readable media, the one or more computer-readable media storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
• receiving the performance characteristics and the initial operator-specific configuration from the work machine;
• accessing benchmark data associated with at least one of the performance characteristics and the initial operator-specific configuration;
• and
• generating a new operator-specific configuration for the work machine based, at least in part, on the benchmark data,
• wherein the controller of the work machine is further configured to override the initial operator-specific configuration with the new operator-specific configuration for a second instance of the work activity executed by the operator.

A machine, comprising:

• an engine;
• a work tool;
• one or more sensors configured to detect performance characteristics of the machine during execution of a work activity;
• an electronic controller configured to:
• receive an operator identification associated with an operator of the machine;
• receive initial settings for the machine specific to the operator identification;
• cause a first execution of the work activity by the machine using the initial settings;
• cause the operator identification, the initial settings, and the performance characteristics to be sent to one or more servers over a network connection;
• receive modified settings for the machine specific to the operator identification, the modified settings differing from the initial settings due at least in part to the performance characteristics detected by the one or more sensors;
• and
• cause a second execution of the work activity using the modified settings.
