Abstract
A site management system for tracking material movement in an environment includes a plurality of material sources, one or more processors, and a plurality of machines. Each of the machines operates according to operating instructions to capture material from one material source and deliver the material at or near at least one processor. The site management system also includes an environment monitoring system having a controller configured to monitor movement of the machines, track a cumulative material blend at each of the processors based on the movement of the machines, and modify the operating instructions to maintain the cumulative material blend within a target blend range.
