How golf clubs are automating greenspace management
It's hard to imagine professional automated mowing without the rigor of perfect strips. A question of aesthetics, but also of efficiency. ECHO Robotics® therefore offers its range of professional robot mowers equipped with RTK GPS navigation technology. We explain it all to you.
Many types of robot at your service
Golf courses are synonymous with intensive lawn maintenance. Most clubs already work with robot mowers to automate as many recurring tasks as possible. Did you know that ECHO Robotics® also offers robots capable of picking up to 12,000 golf balls in 24 hours?
Combining with automatic mowers offers you even greater time savings and economies of scale. And that's not all: after picking up 300 balls, the robot empties its load into an automatic washing system. Your golf balls are redistributed clean and ready to play.
The benefits of automated mowing
- Our robot mower works 24/7. So you can mow larger areas, faster.
- GPS RTK technology enables mowing in precise strips. And avoid going over areas already mowed.
- Mowing in strips saves energy. And additional time savings.
- The robot's configuration adapts to golf courses with complex shapes.
- No buried or damaged balls. Our robots are lightweight and their cutting heads are fitted with protective disks.
- The mulching function enables automatic, 100% natural soil fertilization. You drastically reduce your maintenance costs.
The benefits of automated golf ball collection
- Adaptation to seasonality: the robot adapts to course attendance rates. No more headaches for staff who need to be flexible. You keep control of the work in automatic mode.
- Less bales buried: as with robotic mowers, robotic bale collectors are lightweight and retrieve all bales.
- Energy savings: our bale picker robot has low power consumption (close to that of a refrigerator). You reduce CO2 emissions by 90% compared with equivalent thermal machines.
- Precious silence: golf ball pick-up robots are silent. Players stay focused.
- The collected balls are fed directly by the robot to the deposit pit. Everything runs in automatic mode.
Automated golf ball cleaning and distribution
The golf balls are in the deposit pit? The pick-up robot activates the system to take them down to the washing station. The balls are automatically washed, sorted and dried. Back to the distributors and players. Your members will thank you.
A robot or a fleet: always the winning combination
The TurfMower and the golf ball picker are autonomous, but form a solid team. The aim is to work in synergy and in a logical sequence of operations. Results?
- Your employees avoid repetitive tasks and can finally be called upon for high value-added missions.
- The frequency of mowing and bale collection is regular and more efficient. You can adapt your opening hours for the enjoyment of your members.
- The club's players are neither disturbed by the presence of your teams on the course nor by the noise of the machines.
- Thanks to mulching, your terrain becomes more resistant without chemical additions. Fewer fertilization operations are required.
- Your lawn is mowed more precisely. Perfect aesthetics and energy savings.
