Husqvarna EPOS™ is virtual boundary technology for Husqvarna’s robotic lawn mowers.
Husqvarna’s EPOS™ (Exact Positioning Operating System) is a breakthrough technology for a new series of robotic lawn mowers which allows operation without boundary wires.
The satellite-based technology enables the mowers to work within virtual boundaries, making it an easy and flexible solution. It’s perfect for football pitches, golf courses, city parks, company real estates – and all other places that deal with changing circumstances and needs.
Also, the absence of physical boundary wires means problem-free aerating, scarifying and turf repair.
The sky’s the limit
Once the Automower® is onsite and the reference station has been installed all you need is a smart phone and the Automower® Connect app.
Virtual boundaries can be created and set for the robotic mower using the phone in one or several work areas. As long as there is an unimpeded sky view to ensure optimal technical conditions, Husqvarna’s sophisticated satellite technology, Husqvarna EPOS™, delivers centimetre-level accuracy in seconds.
Combined with the reference station, the robotic mower can safely and efficiently mow any grass area.
How it works
Once a selection has been made from Husqvarna’s range of robotic lawn mowers you simply download the EPOS app for professionals or the Automower® Connect app for residential home owners, and you’re off to a great start.
The system consists of three parts: a charging station; a robotic mower; and a reference station.
The driver uses a mobile phone and the app to set up the installation and set virtual boundaries. The boundaries define work areas and stay-out zones, and are set by guiding the mower around the areas via the app. Boundary lengths are unlimited, allowing complex shapes for maximum flexibility. There are no physical wires to break or maintain, and different worksites with different names can be kept in either app and selected with a touch of the phone screen. And if a site changes, with a new fence or garden, for instance, the mower boundaries can be modified with a click of the app.
It’s a low-noise, no-direct-emissions set up ideally suited to professional propertymaintenance and landscaping contractors.
Easy fleet management
Using your smart phone, you’re able to activate and de-activate stay-out zones, and thanks to the Husqvarna Fleet Services™ digital management tool, you’ll always know where the mower is, how much you’ve used it and when it needs to be serviced or replaced – and much more. All this updated information, easily accessible on your phone or tablet, helps ensure a hassle-free and productive business.
Husqvarna Professional and Residential robotics
Here are three examples from Husqvarna’s EPOS™ range:
• The 550 EPOS™ handles all types of lawns and manages steep slopes up to 45 per cent (24°) with perfect cutting results – even in rainy conditions. Remote Object Detection enables higher mowing speed and area capacity. Robust, thorough construction provides durability and reliability
• CEORA™ is a professional-level autonomous mowing solution that is easy to use and has a very large area capacity – there are two models of CEORA™ available, with a working capacity up to 75,000m2. It’s also low in noise and direct-emissions-free when in use.
• Husqvarna Automower® 450X NERA is a high-performing robotic lawn mower, ideal for domestic use on lawns up to 5000m². Wireless installation via the Automower® Connect app and the Husqvarna EPOS™ Plug-in Kit results in customisable lawn maintenance by virtual boundaries – and no risk of wire breakage.
