A lot of Agricultural and plantation operators are being sold solutions that have been designed and tested for European and American conditions, leaving them to come up with their own fixes when these systems inevitably fail. At AFTECH, we offer fuel management and tracking solutions that have been engineered with South Africa’s remote sites, long travel distances, excessive dust, and patchy connectivity in mind. Our systems equip South African farms, plantations, and agribusinesses with the necessary technological resources to protect fuel, track fleets, and connect field teams.
AFTECH delivers tried-and-tested integrated technological solutions to the agriculture and plantation industry across South Africa. Our solutions enable wine estates, fruit exporters and commercial farms across the country to monitor bulk fuel storage, track tractors and harvesters, as well as schedule maintenance checks in order to better protect yields while lowering costs per hectare.
When working with AFTECH, our systems will grant you complete visibility across your farm operations. From depots to agricultural machinery to the field, our solutions give agribusinesses a simplified, integrated overview of every vehicle, litre of fuel, and shift productivity.
With AFTECH’s Advanced Fleet Telematics, operators can keep track of every tractor, pickup truck, harvester, and farm vehicle across their estate. Operators will have access to real-time locations, monitor fuel levels, driver behaviour, and utilisation data, helping to turn your farm fleet into a managed asset. Our telematics will help reduce wasted fuel and cut idle time while promoting productivity through planting, harvest, and all that comes after.
Our Video Telematics combines in-cab and external cameras linked to an on-device AI, so farm managers can be notified instantly of driver fatigue, distraction, harsh braking, and collision risks as it is happening. Our AI Dashcams’ features, such as live streaming, access to cloud-based footage, and event alerts, all serve to protect drivers on rural roads, secure high-value equipment, and provide indisputable evidence in the case of an incident.
Our PoC Radio Communications provides clear, instant push-to-talk voice communication that offers real-time communication from packhouse to field to depot. Our radio delivers nationwide coverage with none of the usual restrictions of VHF radio, such as licensing, range, or infrastructure.
Streamline machine maintenance with Workshop Management Software. Our software will automate job cards, take inventory of parts, as well as service scheduling. This will assist agricultural and plantation operators in keeping their tractors, pickup trucks, and other farm equipment and machinery on a planned maintenance schedule. Our software will not only streamline maintenance by allowing for less downtime during planting and harvest season as well as fewer manual errors, but also leave a full audit trail on every repair.
AFTECH’s Fuel Management System automatically dispenses and reconciles diesel across farm fuel depots, preventing theft, fraud, and errors directly at the nozzle. Our system’s real-time reporting and driver/vehicle authentication features deliver measurable savings on every tractor, harvester, and irrigation pump on the estate.
An Automatic Tank Gauging system delivers real-time monitoring of bulk diesel storage tanks through ultrasonic and radar technology. AFTECH’s system will allow operators to detect leaks, reconcile deliveries and prevent stock-outs before having to shut down planting, harvest, or irrigation.
At AFTECH, we believe in providing our clients with on-the-ground support and training. Our offices, engineers, and spare parts are all located in-country. Regardless of the event, we will send out the appropriate representative to attend to any problem in person. Our proactive approach ensures that our solutions not just prove effective in theory but in reality as well.
Yes. AFTECH’s fuel management system can greatly assist in monitoring fuel usage in tractors, harvesters, irrigation pumps, generators, pickup trucks, and any other farm equipment. By combining our fuel management system with our advanced fleet telematics, agricultural and plantation managers will be able to compare fuel consumption with vehicle location, operating hours, and utilisation. Our systems will provide accurate data, helping to manage fuel costs across large farms, estates, and plantations.
During planting, harvesting, irrigation, and transportation, fuel is often one of the major expenses for agricultural and plantation-based businesses. Our fuel management system delivers operators with a straightforward overview of fuel consumption and dispensing, making it easier for businesses to identify theft, waste, and inefficiencies. Further features such as automated reporting help reduce the need for manual record-keeping while making fuel reconciliation easier.
Yes. Operators can employ AFTECH’s fuel and fleet management technology across large agricultural estates and remote farming operations. We combine fleet telematics, AI dashcams, PoC radio communications, and workshop management software to grant operators a clear overview of their operations. Our systems will enable farm managers to monitor fuel, equipment, vehicles, maintenance, and field teams even if your operations are spread over large areas that are difficult to access.
