Abstract

A work machine control device including a memory and a processor is disclosed. The processor may be configured to receive work order data associated with a haul machine. The work order data may identify the haul machine, a material requested for the haul machine, an amount of the material requested for the haul machine, and/or a work machine associated with the material. The processor may be configured to set an operating parameter of the work machine to perform an operation according to the work order data, and receive payload data associated with a payload of the work machine. The payload data may relate to a weight of the payload, a volume of the payload, and/or an operating state of the work machine. The processor may be configured to determine productivity data associated with the operation, and cause an action to be performed in connection with the productivity data.
