SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR INDICATING STATUS OF TASKS ASSIGNED TO WORK MACHINES

A system for indicating a status of a task assigned to a work machine on the work machine is described. The system includes an indicating device configured to be mounted to a mounting surface of the work machine and a controller. The indicating device includes a display portion viewable from an outside of the work machine. The controller is configured to receive first data corresponding to the task, determine one or more sub-systems of the work machine needed to execute the task based on the first data, and compute second data based on a usage of the one or more sub-systems during an execution of the task. The controller is configured to calculate a completion data of the task by comparing the second data with the first data and instruct the indicating device to display the completion data as the status of the task on the display portion.
