BIGGA education partner Vitax Amenity is promoting the new opportunities for linemarking technology in golf course traffic management at this year's show (stand A2)
The next generation Briteliner Arrow, unveiled at BTME 2015, is already being applied successfully for a range of duties at clubs across Britain, including boundary, hazard lines and driving ranges.
The benefits of speed, accuracy and cost efficiency that linemarking machines bring to course management are compelling reasons for greenkeepers to commit increasingly to this technology.
GPS is transforming the world of linemarking with the Supaturf SWOZI linemarking system - introducing heightened accuracy to one of the most fundamental groundcare duties.
Launched to wide acclaim at SALTEX recently, the specially developed linemarking machine carries an onboard computer that can be uploaded with software for marking areas for whichever sports are required.
A GPS receptor positioned on the pitch talks to the onboard computer via Bluetooth, which triangulates Swozi's position with help from its own GPS unit, directing the linemarking machine to the appropriate line selected.
Deviation from the marking map by even a few millimetres triggers the head to adjust to maintain an accurate line. If the machine moves too far out of correct alignment, the computer tells the linemarker to stop spraying until the operator positions the machine to the correct marking pattern.

Leaving a lasting impression on sports surfaces everywhere is the innovative Supaturf EvenSprey Club sprayer, geared up to deliver measured applications accurately and fuss free.
The TFS25 tank free system linemarking machine brings further convenience and refinement to marking out and is ideal for applying the Vitax Supaturf artificial paints range just launched.
