MaxiFleet

Thanks to developments in the satellite positioning technology GNSS, MaxiFleet can now show the machine’s position to within just a few centimeters, providing the foundation for a new and exciting area, Precision.

There are several useful functions within Precision, like the ability to create exact, digital fences to mark the borders of a work area or around protected areas. It's also easier to classify stems based on environmental considerations with the stem code visualisation tool.

MaxiFleet opens new doors for preparing and planning work tasks for harvesters and forwarders alike. As MaxiFleet is a cloud-based service, you can plan your work wherever you like and use any device with internet access. You can register identities, products, areas, maps, GIS data and other important information. This ensures that the operator has the correct information even before they start working and having the correct information also minimises the risk of unnecessary driving and mistakes.

MaxiFleet gathers all machine information about your fleet and continually provides insights into each individual machine. You can see the utilisation, operating status, and exact geographic location of each machine. This entails no extra work for the operator as all data are logged and saved automatically.

It's easy to compare fuel consumption and production and the stored operation and production data are easy to tally, reducing your monthly accounts workload.

MaxiFleet gives you remote access to many practical functions: check the battery status, monitor the temperature in the cab or start the diesel heater. Access to remote support where Komatsu Forest’s experts connect to your machine offers additional peace of mind. You can even allow a technician to remote control the machine, troubleshoot any problems and update the settings and software. This minimises downtime and saves both time and money - not least by avoiding costly service callout expenses. Technicians can provide remote training as well.

MaxiFleet and MaxiVision make it easy to share information with each other. The harvester operator plans suitable access roads, log roads and landings based on the worksite conditions. The forwarder operator can see the production in each working zone and optimise their forwarding to avoid unnecessary detours. Once the timber has been forwarded to the landing, the operator can mark the zone complete, simplifying follow-ups. Functions for marking particular areas and boundaries on the map and writing messages enable the team to help each other do a better job. You can also share information with other teams or companies. All information is updated in real-time.

MaxiFleet and MaxiVision helps you to work more efficiently and with less impact on the forest. You get area maps with up-to-date information You can plan the forwarding based on the harvester’s tracks, thereby saving time, diesel and the environment. You gain a good overview and reliable production data that make it easy to adjust your planning as needed. The map functions in MaxiFleet also make it easy to send an easily understood final report once an area has been completed.
