Abstract
A management system for a cold planer is disclosed. The management system may include one or more sensors located onboard the cold planer and configured to generate data regarding at least one of cold planer operating parameters and milled material transferred from the cold planer to a plurality of haul vehicles. The management system may also include a locating device configured to generate a signal indicative of a cold planer location, a communication device configured to transfer information from the cold planer to a plant, and a controller in electronic communication with the one or more, the locating device, and the communication device. The controller may be configured to determine a rate of material transfer from the cold planer to the plurality of haul vehicles based on the data, and transmit the rate of material transfer and the cold planer location to the plant via the communication device.
