Abstract

A system for delivering beams to predetermined locations of a work site includes a sorting assembly, a work machine, and a control system. The sorting assembly receives the beams in loose batches and arranges them in a predefined arrangement. The work machine includes an implement having haul elements. The control system receives an instruction to transfer the beams to the predetermined locations and issue a command to move the work machine for operative engagement with the sorting assembly. Further, the control system generates a retrieval command to alter the implement and switch the haul elements to a first condition to retrieve the beams from the sorting assembly. Also, the control system provides a notification to haul the beams to the predetermined locations. The control system generates release commands at the predetermined locations to release at least one beam correspondingly at the predetermined locations in a preset orientation.
