A spectral light detection and ranging (Lidar) imaging system for earthen material, including a spectral Lidar unit directed towards a target location and a controller communicatively couped to the spectral Lidar unit. The spectral Lidar unit is operable to image the target location by emitting pulses of light towards the target location and capturing spectral and spatial data from a return of the light. The system also includes a controller communicative coupled to the spectral Lidar unit to use the spectral data to determine a desirability of material and generate a direction for further processing based on the desirability of the material.

A system and tool for monitoring ground-engaging products for earth working equipment that can monitor characteristics such as part identification, presence, condition, usage, and/or performance of the products on earth working equipment used, for example, in mining, construction, and dredging environments. The monitoring tool includes or is supported by a mobile device that is separate from the earth working equipment. Supporting the monitoring tool on a mobile device can, e.g., provide unique vantage points to monitor the earth working equipment products, monitor the products without inhibiting the operation of the earth working equipment or endangering personnel, closely approach areas of interest for secure and reliable gathering of information, monitor multiple earth working equipment, and/or be protected from the vibrations and impact shocks that can be associated with earth working equipment.

A monitoring device and system located in a hole in a base of a ground engaging product for monitoring a characteristic of the ground engaging product. The characteristic can pertain to presence, part ID, condition, usage and/or performance of ground-engaging product secured to the earth working equipment. The monitoring system may detect the presence and/or absence of one or more of the components of the ground engaging product.

A product and system for identifying and monitoring a characteristic including the part ID, presence, condition, usage and/or performance of ground-engaging products used on various kinds of earth working equipment.
