Dynamic scheduling of water filler

摘要

This disclosure relates to scheduling by a processor the supply a consumable liquid to a mobile machine, such as the supply of water to a blasthole drill. The processor receives from the one or more mobile machines status information relative to a machine cycle. The machine cycle comprises one or more first periods where supply of the consumable liquid is preferred. The processor then determines based on the status information the supply schedule to supply the liquid to the one or more machines during their respective one or more first periods. The supply schedule is determined such that the supply schedule reduces the likelihood that any of the one or more mobile machines has an insufficient amount of the consumable liquid available. This method reduces downtime of the mobile machines because liquid is supplied during the preferred periods while reducing the likelihood of running out of liquid.
