Abstract:
Systems and methods for providing feedback to an operator of an industrial machine. One system includes a controller including an electronic processor. The electronic processor is configured to monitor at least one operating parameter of the industrial machine, determine a plurality of performance metrics based on the at least one operating parameter, and select a subset of the plurality of performance metrics based on a selection criterion. The electronic processor is also configured to display the subset of the plurality of performance metrics to an operator of the industrial machine during operation of the industrial machine.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for detecting collisions. One system includes a processor configured to receive data from at least one sensor installed on a shovel, identify a plurality of planes based on the data, determine if the plurality of planes are positioned in a predetermined configuration associated with a haul truck to identify whether the plurality of planes represent a haul truck. The processor is further configured to receive a current position and a current direction of movement of a dipper of the shovel, and determine if a collision is possible between the dipper and the identified haul truck based on the plurality of planes, the current position, and the current direction of movement and without receiving any information from the haul truck. If a collision is possible, the processor is configured to alert an operator of the shovel and, optionally, augment movement of the dipper.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for providing an overview-head view of an industrial machine, such as a shovel. One system includes at least one processor configured to receive data from at least one sensor installed on the shovel relating to the area around the shovel, identify a plurality of planes based on the data, determine if the plurality of planes are positioned in a predetermined configuration associated with a haul truck, and if the plurality of planes are positioned in the predetermined configuration, superimpose the plurality of planes on an overhead-view image of the shovel and the area.

Abstract:
An enclosure for an optical device generally includes a housing defining an opening, a transparent element coupled to the opening, a cover coupled to the housing for movement relative thereto between an opened position and a closed position, an actuator operable to move the cover relative to the transparent element between the opened position and the closed position, and a power supply electrically coupled to the actuator. The actuator maintains the opened position when it receives power from the power supply, and returns the cover to the closed position in response to a loss of power.
