Abstract:
A work machine includes a chassis, and a work implement movably coupled to the chassis and configured to perform a field-engaging function. The work machine also includes an actuator coupled to the work implement and configured to adjust a position of the work implement relative to a ground surface. The work machine further includes a sensor unit configured to sense a characteristic of the work machine and communicate a signal indicative of the characteristic. The work machine also includes a communication module, and a controller in communication with the sensor unit and the communication module, the controller including a processor and memory. The controller is configured to monitor a location of the work machine, process the signal from the sensor unit to monitor the characteristic, determine whether the characteristic exceeds an acceptable range, and if so, identify an event, and assign a location to the event.
