M can be a time-consuming and exhausting job in the
world of grounds maintenance . With a robotic mower , this work is completed for you with an autonomous , GPS controlled system . The device is app-controlled , allowing you to check on cutting progress and set a schedule for mowing . The mowers are durable and work across a variety of terrains .
Robotic mowers can be used across sports pitches , golf courses , airfields and schools . They are especially popular with site managers and head greenkeepers to make maintenance more efficient . A large benefit being that they can mow on softer ground than heavy machinery , minimising weather interruptions . The mowers are designed with capacities of up to 75,000m2 of grass being cut up to 4x per week .
The robotic mowers can cut and maintain grass to different heights without manual adjustment , making for efficient switchover between different types of pitches . With powerful blades , robotic mowers deliver optimum precision . The mower is also designed with healthy grass in mind , recycling cuttings back into the soil .
They are quiet with less noise pollution , meaning no disruptions to work or studying . Robotic mowers are also eco-friendly , emitting 90 % less carbon than diesel and petrol mowers .

Case Study - Cranham Golf Course Location : Upminster , Essex Customer requirements : A solution capable of managing the maintenance of all 18 fairways while upholding the quality and standard of finish .
Solution : 3x robotic mowers , one covering 8 fairways , another
covering 5 fairways and rough , the final one covering 4 fairways and rough .
Method : Working with the client , we were able to produce schematics using Google Earth with area sizes that needed covering , with that we were able to recommend the most efficient model of mowers to breakdown the tasks .
