Abstract
Apparatus and methods are provided for monitoring usage operation of equipment carried on a vehicle. A vision system generates target device data representative of an obtained image of a set of target devices carried on a loader. Loader monitoring logic is executed by a processor to determine a current loader movement of the loader from first to second loader poses based on the target device data. Maintenance alert data is generated based on a sum of a first time duration of the current loader movement and an aggregated time duration of previously determined loader movements of the loader exceeding a predetermined loader maintenance time threshold. A maintenance alert image is generated based on the maintenance alert data and is displayed on a screen viewable by an operator. The maintenance alert image includes maintenance notification information to alert the operator of required loader maintenance.
