Cbus Super Stadium is leading the way as Australia’s first stadium to introduce robotic mowing technology.
The innovative, battery-powered technology is paving the way for an innovative and greener future in an Australian first, with autonomous operation, precision mowing, and sustainability benefits.
The robotic mower will allow Cbus Super Stadium to maintain its world-class turf as the stadium becomes as increasingly popular hotspot for national and international events.
Cbus Super Stadium Grounds Manager Phil Buke said the grounds team was already seeing the benefits of the robotic mower.
“The lighter robotic mower means we no longer have to use one tonne machinery over the top of the delicate grass when we repair turf,” Mr Burke said.
“We can now remotely mow through the night, during wet dewy conditions, in turn reducing disease pressure and resulting in healthier, denser grass,” he said.
Cbus Super Stadium General Manager Kristian Blundell said the robotic mower was a game-changer for the venue.
“This technology is not replacing staff, but rather giving our grounds team the ability to do what they do best by helping to improve turf management processes, better manage fatigue and decrease our environmental footprint,” Mr Blundell said.
“By adopting electric technology we’ve seen a big difference in fuel consumption and are saving 20 to 30 litres of diesel a week.”
Cbus Super Stadium is in good company, joining home of Liverpool FC Anfield and Fenway Park in Boston who are already utilising the technology.
Pauline Nilsson, Vice President of Sales and Service, Husqvarna Forest and Garden, Pacific region is pleased CBUS Super Stadium have advanced their capabilities.
“We are thrilled that Cbus Super Stadium is joining many other premium stadiums across Europe and North America in deploying our groundbreaking CEORA™ robotic mower technology,” Pauline said.
“This is a great commitment towards sustainability and sets a new standard for the future of turf maintenance.”
