A monitoring system for a working machine includes: a position detector to determine a position of a working machine based on radio waves from positioning satellite(s); an area setter to set work area information indicating whether work area(s) is/are in a shielded environment or an unshielded environment, the work area(s) being area(s) where work is to be done by the working machine, the shielded environment being an environment in which the radio waves are likely to be blocked, the unshielded environment being an environment in which the radio waves are unlikely to be blocked; and a monitor to evaluate a state of position determination by the position detector based on a result of the position determination by the position detector, and provide a notification if there is a predetermined change in the state of the position determination compared to a state of position determination corresponding to the work area information.

Monitoring system for working machine

A working machine includes a traveling vehicle that is a first moving entity, a working device that is a second moving entity coupled to the first moving entity, and a sub battery loaded on the second moving entity to store an energy source to drive the traveling vehicle. Therefore, it is not necessary to newly provide a configuration to load the sub battery on the traveling vehicle, and a battery can be easily loaded. In a case where the traveling vehicle includes a main battery, the traveling and work can be continued according to a capacity of the sub battery without being stopped in order to charge the main battery that has a decreased remaining charge level.

Working machine

An object of the present invention is to provide a work vehicle that can be controlled automatically. The work vehicle includes HST's for feeding power for traveling to at least either front wheels or rear wheels mounted on a traveling vehicle body, traveling levers for operating driving of at least either the front wheels or the rear wheel, traveling links operably coupling the traveling levers with the HST's, traveling drive sections for driving either the traveling levers or the traveling links, and a traveling control section configured to activate the traveling drive sections in response to receipt of a traveling instruction for the traveling levers in the automatic control mode for automatically controlling the traveling vehicle body.

An anti-theft system for a working machine, includes: a start-operation tool to issue an order to start a prime mover; an information obtaining device to obtain first information and second information; and a controller device having: a certification storage to store certification information; a start processor to obtain the order issued by the start-operation tool and to start the prime mover when the first information obtained by the information obtaining device is related to the certification information; and a registration processor to perform a registration process for registering the second information as the certification information. The registration processor allows the registration process before starting of the prime mover, and stops allowing the registration process after the starting of the prime mover.

Anti-theft system for working machine, anti-theft control method of the working machine, and the working machine

A brake control unit configured to control a brake to a braked state in response to a brake position sensor having detected that a steering lever has been operated to a stop position and to a released state in response to the brake position sensor having detected that the steering lever has been operated from the stop position toward a travel operation pathway and a travel position sensor having detected that the steering lever is at a neutral position, at which the steering lever is placeable to stop travel.
