Sports fields in top condition

Sports facilities management is a separate branch of sport. Here, precision and performance are of great importance. With the Kress RTK robotic mowers, Kress offers a smart, efficient and advanced solution for the maintenance of golf courses and soccer fields, among others. 'Thus, sports facility managers are assured of a future-proof infrastructure and athletes of an always optimal sports field.'

One of the most notable advantages of Kress RTK robotic mowers, is accuracy, says David Mooibroek, Regional Sales Director Kress Benelux. "Kress' Moving Action Plan (MAP) technology enables management of every single area. Whether identifying drainage problems, assessing surface flatness or optimizing irrigation patterns, the accuracy of Kress RTK ensures consistency and optimal playing field quality." 

Kress' RTK series robotic mowers mow large lawns accurately and efficiently without a boundary wire or fixed reference antenna. Mooibroek: "Other brands require the user to buy an antenna and place it in the garden. With our system, this is not necessary. In fact, we provide our own network. That saves on costs and there is no longer an antenna in sight." Setting up is simple: to establish a virtual boundary, the installer simply walks along the edge of the lawn with a trolley, after which the receiver with digital map is placed back on the mower. Even if the satellite signal is briefly lost due to trees or buildings, the robotic mowers continue to do their job thanks to the Kress algorithm. The MAP technology thereby ensures efficient mowing. The mowers feature an obstacle avoidance system and a floating cutting deck that adjusts to uneven terrain.

Traditional methods of managing and maintaining sports facilities can be time-consuming and costly. With Kress RTK, however, managers can optimize their resources and realize significant time and cost savings. The powerful cloud computing system automatically calculates values such as lawn size, edge length or weather. The system finds the optimal algorithm and mowing cycle depending on the factors prevailing at the time.

Mooibroek: "With this new technology, Kress remains committed to innovation and progress. The brand continues to develop continuously. Among other things, by integrating functionalities, implementing advanced analyses or exploring autonomous maintenance solutions. Thus, Kress RTK offers sports facility managers a future-proof infrastructure and athletes always an optimal playing field."

"But let's also talk about sustainability. Keeping our ecological footprint in mind, the RTK robot mower is designed to be extremely energy efficient. Thanks to the use of electric motors and with a smart charging function that ensures that the Kress RTKn robot mower mows only when needed, it not only reduces emissions, but also energy bills. In short, the Kress RTKn robotic mower represents a new standard in grass care. With its advanced technology, it not only provides an easy solution for lawn maintenance, but also enhances the overall grass experience.
