A challenge that landscape contractors, greenskeepers, and sports turf managers can face is maintaining large and healthy lawns. Traditional mowing methods can be time-consuming, labour-intensive, and costly. Enter Kress Robotic Mowers — autonomous mowers that will transform turf-management practices. These intelligent mowers promise not only time savings, but also improved efficiency and lower emissions, transforming the way we care for our golf and green spaces.
Kress RTKn robotic mowers redefine unmanned mowing by extending their reach to cover larger areas.
Operating efficiently in parallel lines, they seamlessly transition from one area to another without the need for boundary wires, on-site antennas or beacons. Unlike traditional robotic mowers that rely on perimeter wires, Kress RTKn models utilise a satellite-based positioning system with centimetre-level accuracy.
Kress’ proprietary RTKn network^ delivers correction data to each robot mower and the Unique MAP (Mowing Action Plan™) technology creates a customised mowing route based on the specific features of your green space. By analysing the terrain, obstacles and boundaries, Kress mowers optimise their path for maximum coverage and efficiency. As they move, they dynamically adapt to changes in the environment, ensuring every blade of grass receives equal attention.
Features
• Mission RTKn (KR172E.1, KR173E.1 and KR174E.1): Designed for lawns up to 7000m2. Combining cutting-edge technology with user-friendly features, Kress Mission mowers operate quietly and emit zero site emissions, making them ideal for managing residential properties
• Mission Mega RTKn (KR233E.1 and KR236E.1): With Mission Mega RTKn mowers, Kress demonstrates what is possible in automated mowing today. Mega models include features such as dual discs for enhanced functionality, a wider cutting width of 35cm, and TeamWork™ collaborative technology. The unique in-hub drive ensures a more accurate and reener and more quieter mowing experience and, when combined with RTKn positioning, obstacle avoidance, and easy-clean IPX5-rated construction, the Kress Mega mowers set a new standard of efficiency, power, intelligence and reliability
• Customisable cutting height: Mission Mega RTKn mowers allow tailoring the cutting height to specific requirements within the range of 30mm to 60mm. For golf courses and expansive green spaces, the fairway kit is a game-changer. It provides additional versatility by allowing cutting as low as 10mm. Fairways, roughs and specialised areas can now be maintained with precision, ensuring a consistent and professional appearance
• Efficiency and fleet operation: Kress robot mowers revolutionise lawn maintenance with their systematic cutting approach. By mowing in parallel lines, a single Kress mower can efficiently manage up to 36,000m2 of green space. These robotic mowers are also designed to operate seamlessly as part of a fleet, ensuring even larger areas can be maintained effortlessly
• Time and cost savings: Traditional mowing demands labour hours, but with Kress robotic mowers, costs can be significantly reduced. Allocate the workforce strategically, knowing the mowers handle routine maintenance efficiently. Healthier turf means fewer expensive renovations. Kress robotic mowers can contribute to long-term savings by maintaining optimal grass health. Plus, the absence of fuel costs further enhances cost-effectiveness
• Zero emissions: Kress robotic mowers significantly lower the carbon footprint of any property, from homes to commercial facilities, fostering greener and more enjoyable living and working environments. These mowers operate with zero emissions, producing no polluting exhaust fumes, and their quiet operation minimises noise pollution, allowing the enjoyment of outdoor space without disturbance
• Satellite connection and adaptability: If the satellite connection becomes blocked by trees or buildings, inertial navigation and odometry take over, precisely routing the mower until it reaches an open sky area where satellite navigation is restored. This seamless transition ensures uninterrupted mowing even in challenging conditions
• Stay in control: The Kress Mission RTKⁿ app empowers you to stay in control of your robotic lawn mower at all times. Stay updated on mowing sessions and your robot’s schedule, create new maps and manage charging stations. Adjust working hours and days according to your needs, ensuring you’re always in control.
