A system may include a connectivity module communicatively and physically coupled to a work machine and a processing circuit configured to generate a profile corresponding to the connectivity module and the work machine. The processing circuit may include memory devices configured to store instructions that cause the one or more processors to: generate the profile corresponding to the work machine and the connectivity module, the profile initially comprising a base state; receive data indicative of one or more functionalities of the work machine; populate, after receiving the data indicative of the one or more functionalities of the work machine, the profile with entries that define a machine-specific state of the profile that facilitates data interpretation and collection related to the one or more functionalities of the work machine; and send the profile comprising the machine-specific state to the connectivity module.

System and method for conditional data reporting

A local fleet connectivity system includes a plurality of machines disposed at a location. Each of the plurality of machines includes an implement and a prime mover configured to drive the implement. The system includes at least one control module communicably coupled with a first machine of the plurality of machines. The system includes at least one connectivity module communicably coupled with the plurality of machines. The at least one control module is configured to establish, via the at least one connectivity module, a connection between the plurality of machines. The at least one control module is configured to exchange, via the at least one connectivity module, data between the plurality of machines.

Local fleet connectivity system and methods

A lift device includes multiple electrical components and a battery monitoring system. The battery monitoring system includes multiple batteries and a controller. The multiple batteries are configured to power the multiple electrical components. The controller is configured to obtain sensor data from the batteries. The controller is also configured to determine a state of charge of the batteries for open circuit conditions based on the sensor data. The controller is configured to determine a state of charge of the batteries for load conditions based on the sensor data. The controller is configured to determine a state of charge of the batteries for charging conditions based on the sensor data. The controller determines an overall state of charge of the batteries based on the state of charge for open circuit conditions, the state of charge of the batteries for load conditions, and the state of charge for charging conditions.

Battery monitoring system for a lift device

A work site equipment grouping system includes a wireless worksite network including a plurality of communicatively connected nodes. The plurality of nodes includes a plurality of work machines configured to wirelessly communicate with other nodes. The system further includes an additional work machine configured to detect a first node of the plurality of communicatively connected nodes within a wireless signal range of the additional work machine and, upon detecting the first node, automatically join the wireless worksite network.

Automatic connection to work site equipment groupings

A worksite connection system includes a first machine including a first connectivity module, a second machine including a second connectivity module, and a third machine including a third connectivity module. When the first connectivity module and the second connectivity module are communicatively connected to provide a local wireless worksite network, the third connectivity module is configured to automatically join the local wireless worksite network when the third connectivity module is within a signal range of at least one of the first connectivity module or the second connectivity module.

Automatic generation of and connection to worksite network between machines

A work site equipment grouping system includes a plurality of work machines including a first work machine and a second work machine. Each work machine is configured to wirelessly communicate with other work machines. The system further includes a local area network including a plurality of communicatively connected nodes, the nodes including the first work machine and the second work machine. The system further includes a third work machine configured to detect one of the first work machine or the second work machine within a signal range of the third work machine and, upon detecting one of the first work machine or the second work machine, automatically join the local area network.
