Abstract
A system can assign a machine to dispense material at designated areas along a route at a worksite. For example, the machine can be an electric water truck on a mine site, and the electric water truck can be assigned to spray water at areas along a route to control dust on the mine site. The system can verify that the machine is carrying enough material to dispense along the assigned route. The system can also verify that the battery of the machine is charged to a level sufficient to power travel of the machine through the assigned route and to power operations to dispense the material, based at least in part on a changing amount and/or weight of the material as the machine progresses along the route.
