Abstract
Industrial machines at a mine site or other worksite are monitored and controlled using a multi-phase implementation, based on data received from multiple data sources at different times. Machine telemetry data or other sensor data received from a first machine, in combination with additional sensor data from other machines at the site, detailed material attribute data received from external data sources, and/or outputs from trained machine-learned models, are used to determine characteristics of a material load and/or material blend, and to control machines at the mine site. A control system performs a multi-phase implementation for monitoring machines and/or load data in response to data received at different times, updating the material load and blend characteristics, and controlling machines at the site based on the characteristics of the material load or material blend.
