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.

Performance quantifying and reporting for machine assets includes storing, in a work plan, asset tag assignments for a plurality of assets, and receiving location information, for example, indicative of a segment of a work cycle, being worked on by an asset. Attributes of an asset, including an inferred occurrence or non-occurrence of an asset-to-asset interaction, are based upon the location information and matching of role-based asset tags between or amongst assets. Performance history of the asset is quantified and reported based on the identified attributes for displaying, on a user interface, machine asset performance metrics.
