Abstract: A system may comprise a first sensor; a second sensor; and an electronic control module. The electronic control module may be configured to determine a flow of the fluid based on information regarding the pressure from the first sensor and information regarding the temperature from the second sensor; determine a portion of the flow of the fluid that is directed to a particle counter of the machine; receive, from the particle counter, information identifying a quantity of particles in the portion of the flow of the fluid; determine a quality of the fluid based on the quantity of particles; determine whether the flow of the fluid exceeds a flow threshold or whether the quality of the fluid is less than a quality threshold; and take a remedial action when the flow of the fluid exceeds the flow threshold or the quality of the fluid is less than the quality threshold.

Abstract: A method for monitoring wear of a ground-engaging tool associated with a machine in relation to productivity of the machine is disclosed. The ground-engaging tool defines an inner cavity and a first wall. The method includes receiving a first characteristic signal associated with the first wall from a first sensor, the first sensor operatively associated with the first wall. The method further includes receiving one or more productivity metrics associated with the machine from a performance monitoring system, the performance monitoring system operatively associated with the machine. The method further includes determining a first dimension of the ground-engaging tool based on the first characteristic signal, determining a first wear metric of the ground-engaging tool based on the first dimension, and correlating the first wear metric and the one or more productivity metrics.

Abstract: A system for monitoring presence of a ground-engaging tool relative to a machine, on a worksite, is disclosed. The system includes a sensor operatively coupled to the ground-engaging tool, a signal receiver, and a controller. The sensor is configured to transmit an identifying wireless signal. The controller is configured to receive a received signal from the signal receiver; the received signal based on the identifying wireless signal and having a signal power. The controller is configured to determine a signal attenuation power of the received signal, based on the signal power relative to the transmission power, determine a relative location of the ground-engaging tool and one or more fault conditions based on the signal attenuation power, and determine if the ground-engaging tool is connected to the machine based on the relative location of the ground-engaging tool and the existence of one or more fault conditions.
