. . . with no
strings attached
The Vitax Supaturf
SWOZI GPS-guided linemarking system is bringing new levels of
accuracy to one of the most fundamental groundcare duties and here is
your chance to put it through its paces.
SWOZI delivers pin-sharp
accuracy when marking out pitches without using using strings,
markers or lasers.
After testing the
system recently, Loughborough University said: "A remarkable
machine if you have to do a lot of marking out and means one man can
mark out from scratch without a tape measure, string line or even an
on/off switch on the sprayer; everything done for you. Brilliant."
The specially developed
linemarking machine assembled by Vitax at its Coalville,
Leicestershire, factory carries an onboard computer that is uploaded
with software for marking out the sports 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.
In UK field trials, the
SWOZI system has been used on existing marked-out pitches to correct
alignment inaccuracies, such is the precision of the process.
Council sport and
amenity contractors, stadium managers, head groundsmen and estate
managers are expected to find the SWOZI system particularly
attractive because marking out a pitch is far quicker than by
traditional means, freeing up time for other tasks.
