INNOVATIONS
of Sales and Marketing Tim Kubista . “ As part of The RC Mowers Success System , we consistently engage with our customers to learn from their AMR experience , and then innovate to provide them with new features that help them meet today ’ s landscaping challenges .”
The new split plan feature allows operators to set a single mow plan for an area and then deploy multiple autonomous mowers to determine the most efficient way to mow the area . Splitting a plan saves time by allowing the AMR app to divide a new or previously saved plan between multiple mowers . This results in a uniform presentation with mowers completing the task in concert . Operators can also provide their customers with unanimity by replicating the stripe angle and overlap between mowers .
The new English- and Spanish-language operator interface , on both the app and the machine display , allows operators to toggle between the language of their choice . “ This is a key part of our success system , which is built on unprecedented support , tools and policies that fortify our commitment to our customers ,” Kubista said . “ Many of our customers have workforces that are primarily Spanish-speaking , and adding this interface makes it easier and more efficient to implement the autonomous mowers within their fleet .”
