Abstract
A material tagging system is disclosed for use with an excavation machine. The material tagging system may have a locating device configured to generate a first signal indicative of a location of the excavation machine at a worksite, and a communication device. The material tagging system may also have at least one of an operator input device and a sensor configured to generate a second signal indicative of an identity of material in a work tool, and a controller. The controller may be configured to receive an electronic map of the worksite predicting locations of different types of material, and to make a comparison of the identity of the material with a type of material predicted to be at a location where the excavation machine was located when the material was loaded. The controller may further be configured to selectively generate and communicate an error flag based on the comparison.
