SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DETERMINING POOR IMPLEMENT PENETRATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17804472 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DETERMINING POOR IMPLEMENT PENETRATION

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method for identifying ineffective blade penetration by a blade-based machine at a work site. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:

  • The method involves using a blade-based machine to attempt cutting an area of ground at the work site.
  • The effectiveness of the cut is determined by comparing the achieved cut volume to a threshold cut volume.
  • The threshold cut volume is determined based on input from one or more position sensors on the blade-based machine.
  • If the cut is determined to be ineffective, one or more remedial actions are initiated based on this determination.

Bullet points explaining the patent/innovation:

  • The patent application introduces a method to assess the effectiveness of blade penetration by a machine at a work site.
  • It utilizes position sensors on the machine to determine the achieved cut volume.
  • By comparing the achieved cut volume to a predetermined threshold, the method can identify ineffective cutting.
  • This identification allows for the initiation of remedial actions to address the ineffectiveness.
  • The innovation aims to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of blade-based machines in cutting operations at work sites.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method of identifying blade penetration that is ineffectual by a blade-based machine at a work site, including: attempting to cut an area of ground by the blade-based machine at the work site; determining that the cut is ineffectual based on a determination of a threshold cut volume achieved by the blade-based machine, the threshold cut volume being based on input from one or more position sensors on the blade-based machine; and initiating one or more remedial actions based on the determination of ineffectual cutting by the blade-based machine.
