About Maxi Control

Maxi Control (Pty) Ltd was best known in its early years for electronic control systems hence the name. Since 1998 the Maxi brand has incorporated new technologies and tackled new challenges, and is also known as ‘Maxi Technologies’ and ‘MaxiTech’.

Maxi Control is an innovative tech company engaged in designing, manufacturing and supporting unique electronic and software solutions created especially but not exclusively for agricultural application.

The common thread running through our solutions is that they all involve collecting data at source and applying the insights gained by analysis to improve operational efficiency e.g. reducing cost and increasing productivity:

  • access control and time & attendance
  • advanced field labour management – tracking workers and activities in the field, measuring and calculating piecework, managing productivity and allocating labour cost
  • measuring and tracking yield/production in the field, from field to pack house, and during the packing process
  • job/batch progress tracking and costing
  • wages and salaries, leave accrual
  • fuel management
  • asset tracking
  • environmental control and logging.

Our management solutions integrate purpose-built electronic data collection with PC-based management software.

Our intelligent controllers collect data from sensors to determine the needs and actions required to maintain optimal conditions in an enclosed environment (e.g. turning on fans or heaters, opening vents, etc.). Logged data provides a history of the conditions throughout the controlled process (e.g. drying, growing or storing).

GPS added for geo-locating data

From 2021, MaxiPortable data collectors will come with a new option – an embedded GPS tracker to add geo-location positioning data to all logged events, to allow for tracking, GIS analysis and data mapping (devices, workers, bins, lugs, bags, counts, weights, etc.).

Similarly, MaxiFuel loggers on mobile tanks can be tracked and fuel issues geo-located.

MaxiGPS is optional to keep cost down for those who do not need it. Upgrading costs less than replacing, therefore this new feature is designed to retro-fit into existing MaxiPortable devices deployed in the field and MaxiFuel units.

GPS logging will be available early in the new year, followed closely by enhanced data connectivity also designed to be backward compatible and able to retro-fit.

MAXIPORTABLE BIO

Eliminate buddy clocking and ‘ghost workers’ with our new MAXIPORTABLE BIO.

This leading edge data collector with embedded fingerprint scanning has all the same proven flexibility, robustness and long-lasting battery life of our renowned ‘proximity’ (RFID) MAXIPORTABLE which has been collecting data in the field for the past decade.

MAXIPORTABLE BIO is more than just portable time recorder – it has the unique MAXIPORTABLE ability to allocate costs (jobs, locations, tasks, cultivars, etc.) and measure individual worker yields (counting, weighing, scanning, etc.) required for managing agricultural operations.

MAXIPORTABLE BIO has even more battery power than the proximity version and its embedded bio module can store up to 9500 templates (fingerprints) and surprising high recognition rates in an environment known for work-related damage to fingers.

MAXISCALE

When picking fruit, berries and vegetables, there are compelling advantages to paying per Kg instead of per bag or container.

In order to measure output by weight, we connect our MAXIPORTABLE reader to a MAXISCALE in the field, where each bag, crate or punnet is weighed before tipping or removal to the packhouse.

Fantastic results have been achieved with marked increases in productivity, and both workers and employers being better off, creating real ‘win-win’ outcomes.
