A method includes an operation of receiving first position information, indicative of a first material plant checkpoint in which an equipment enters a first material plant geofence a first time. The method also includes receiving second position information, indicative of a first machine checkpoint in which the equipment enters and/or exits a machine geofence. The method also includes receiving third position information, indicative of a second material plant checkpoint in which the equipment enters the first material plant geofence a second time. The method also includes creating an association between the first material plant checkpoint and the second material plant checkpoint. The method also includes determining the equipment cycle time based at least partly on a time associated with the first material plant checkpoint and a time associated with the second material plant checkpoint.

System and method for geofence based cycle time determination

A method of processing telematics data associated with multiple machines. The method includes receiving the telematics data from multiple telematics data providers in communication with the machines. The method also includes determining if the telematics data from each of the telematics data providers is in a non-standard format and transforming the telematics data in the non-standard format to a standard format. The method further includes displaying, via a Graphical User Interface (GUI), the telematics data in the standard format.
