Husqvarna to attend Sports Field Management Association Conference with Senior Director of Grounds, David Mellor to announce CEORA™ Robotic Mower partnership.

"Using the CEORA™ robotic mower to assist in day-to-day turf management operations at America's most beloved ballpark is exciting for the turf industry," said David Mellor. "I think the CEORA robotic mower helps the turf industry in many different ways. For one, it's going to allow us to reallocate the labor to work on other skilled opportunities and tasks. But also, it cuts down on the compaction that a normal mower would create. So, we're getting an outstanding cut, outstanding quality and multiple jobs done at once."

CEORA™ is a robotic mower that operates through virtual boundaries with Husqvarna's EPOS™ (Exact Positioning Operating System), an innovative satellite-based technology that enables the machine to work within virtual boundaries and independently mow up to 18 acres of grass day or night.

"Husqvarna's newest commercial autonomous innovation, CEORA™, provides a state-of-the-art solution for cutting commercial sports turf, campuses and municipalities," said Jason Connor, Director of Commercial Robotics, North America. "We are excited to make this game-changing solution available to a wider audience now."

In addition to experiencing the latest Husqvarna technology, attendees of SFMA 2023 will have the opportunity to meet David Mellor on Jan. 18 from 2-4 p.m. MT. He brings over three decades of expertise caring for some of the most well-known ballparks in the nation and is collaborating with Husqvarna in a long-term partnership to help shape the future of sports turf care.
