A fluid tracking system and system use a reader device to read asset identification devices coupled to equipment assets to obtain unique asset identifiers. Data including amounts of fluid dispensed to the equipment assets and the unique asset identifiers are received. Custody of the fluid from the one or more fluid dispensers to the equipment assets is tracked for monitoring the amounts of the fluid dispensed to the equipment assets. One or more of (a) theft of the fluid and/or (b) a fault with the equipment assets or engines of equipment assets is identified based on the custody of the fluid that is tracked.

An anti-slip device is attachable to a construction bucket. The device has an elongated body extending from a first end to a second end, with a center span connecting opposing legs. The body includes sets of teeth projecting upwardly from the center span, while the legs downwardly project and have castellations along their lower edges. The lower edges of the legs can be fastened to the upper edge of the construction bucket. The body may include drainage gaps between the center span and the teeth, and the teeth may project from opposite sides of the center span. The body may also have drainage holes extending through the center span and may be shaped as an inverted U. The device aims to enhance traction and provide an easier to reach location for operators to step on when exiting construction equipment.

A machine guidance system and method utilize optical sensors, position sensors, and movement sensors to generate point cloud data for a construction asset. Data encompassing terrain features, obstacles, and the real-world position and orientation of the asset and its attachment are calculated. The fused data is used to autonomously control the movement of the asset and the position of the attachment to maintain a cutting edge at a target grade. As a result, terrain mapping and obstacle detection are performed in real-time, enabling safe and efficient operation without predefined paths.
