Husqvarna and GreenSight Inc. have entered into a strategic partnership to combine their unique technologies to create a comprehensive solution that enables turf managers to increase the quality of turf care, use fewer natural resources and significantly reduce costs in their overall management practices. The solution, TurfCloud combined with Husqvarna Automower, will initially serve large-scale outdoor facilities such as golf courses and sports turf facilities. Numerous trials have produced impressive results leading to new efficiencies and reduced labor needs.
Husqvarna, a world leader in the design and manufacture of outdoor equipment, is the pioneer of robotic mowing and has changed the way professionals maintain their turf with the iconic Husqvarna Automower and Husqvarna CEORA robotic lawnmowers. GreenSight, a leader in agricultural and defense robotics, is defining the benefits of daily drone imaging on golf and sports turf facilities with TurfCloud, GreenSight’s leading cloud-based turf management platform. TurfCloud also empowers turfgrass professionals to proactively monitor and manage their turf and their teams.
“Our low-noise, zero-emission Automower® combined with GreenSight’s suite of digital management tools, sensors and imaging, is a revolutionary step forward in turf management for golf courses, sports facilities and other public green spaces,” said Jason Connor, director of Commercial Robotics at Husqvarna. “Our EPOS™ technology offers unparalleled flexibility and eliminates the need for physical boundary cables, enabling the Automower® a perfect addition to GreenSight’s digital solution.”
“Bringing two leaders in ground and aerial robotics together is a natural partnership that has resulted in an industry-changing turf management solution,” said James Peverill, CEO of GreenSight. “Integrating Husqvarna’s robotic lawnmowers into our TurfCloud golf course management system creates an efficient and effective solution for golf course wardens and turf managers that makes their job easier, while improving grass quality and easing staff constraints. The new platform brings together the turf manager’s drone images, sensor data, agronomic tools, labor and robotics planning systems; into one revolutionary integrated digital command center.”
