Husqvarna, global
leader in robotic lawnmowing, today launches Husqvarna EPOS technology, a
satellite-based solution for a new series of professional Husqvarna Automower
robotic mowers, enabling mowing with virtual boundaries.
Next year, Husqvarna has pioneered and shaped the robotic mowing
segment for 25 years with high performing, silent and direct emission-free
robotic mowers that are designed to help landscapers maintain healthy lawns and
increase productivity.
In 2019, Husqvarna introduced its first all-wheel drive
robotic mowers, allowing residential and professional users to cover areas with
an incline of up to 70 % - an important further step into the professional
segment. Husqvarna is committed to continue to lead and develop the robotic
mowing category through customer centric innovation and solutions.
As the next step, Husqvarna today launches the Husqvarna
EPOS technology, a high-precision satellite navigation system that
delivers an accuracy of 2-3 centimetres. It is used to create virtual
boundaries for professional robotic mowers.
The new system will significantly increase the flexibility and use
of professional robotic mowers in green spaces, as virtual boundaries can be
adapted to meet the ever-changing needs of sports fields and public
spaces. This new system further opens up opportunities for areas which
historically were challenging for robotic lawnmowers, for example areas passing
hard surfaces or those which are often remodeled as well as making aerating and
scarifying easier.
Sascha Menges, President Husqvarna Division, commented: “Robotics
and autonomous solutions will play a major role in the future of green space
management. We are committed to
continuously improving professional green space management and Husqvarna
EPOS is a technological breakthrough in Husqvarna’s robotic mowing that
will further accelerate the adaptation of robotics in professional lawn care. “
Husqvarna pro robotic mowers with Husqvarna EPOS integrate with
Husqvarna Fleet Services, a digital fleet management control system, and make
the management of large lawns and green spaces easier and more flexible and
efficient than ever before.
The new technology is the next step in Husqvarna professional
robotic lawnmowing and will be launched with selected professional customers in
US, France, Germany and Sweden in 2020.
