COMPUTER IMPLEMENTED METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DISPATCHING MACHINES VIA PRODUCTION CIRCUITS

Abstract: a machine at a worksite may be assigned to one or more production circuits that each include a sequence of activities. each activity in a production circuit may associated with corresponding entry criteria indicating conditions that, if satisfied by the machine, permit the machine to initiate performance of that activity. the machine may perform activities of a production circuit if the machine satisfies the corresponding entry criteria. if the machine does not satisfy entry criteria of an activity in an assigned production circuit, the machine may switch to performing activities of a different production circuit, such as a lower-priority production circuit that has also been assigned to the machine, that includes an activity with entry criteria that the machine does satisfy.
