Autonomous Mowing For Irish Golf Courses.

Labour Costs & Availability

Skilled greenkeepers are expensive and increasingly difficult to find. Tying them up on daily mowing is an inefficient use of your best people.

Less Morning Noise

Early mowing disturbs local residents and disrupts the course before golfers arrive. Machines that run silently through the night solve the problem entirely.

Consistency Of Cut

Manual mowing results vary with staff availability, fatigue and weather. Robotic mowers deliver the same cut quality every day, regardless of conditions.

FJD RCM01 - cylinder mower

Scissor-cut precision over undulating fairways, with anti-scalping technology that protects the turf on uneven ground. Smart boundary trimming eliminates manual touch-ups along every edge. Quiet enough to run through the night - perfect fairways ready for morning tee-off, without waking a single resident.

Where GPS loses signal under dense tree canopies, the RM21 uses 3D LiDAR to navigate with the same accuracy. A rear 4-wheel design distributes weight across soft, wet ground - protecting the turf that rotary mowers on the same terrain would damage. Handles the zones that have traditionally required your most experienced operator.

FJD RM21 - rough and semi-rough specialist

FJD RM21 with dual-brush attachment

Eliminates morning rope-dragging entirely. The RM21 with its dual-brush attachment covers dew removal automatically - no staff deployment, no delays, no disease risk from a stressed cut.

Built for the wide, open ground that swallows your greenkeeping hours. BigMow maintains up to 24,000 m² on its own, with five floating cutting heads that follow every rise and dip for an even finish. Fifteen stainless steel blades mulch clippings straight back into the turf, and five sonar sensors stop the blades the instant anything crosses its path.

Belrobotics - BigMow

LiDAR - Light Detection and Ranging - fires thousands of laser pulses per second to build a real-time 3D map of the surrounding terrain. Unlike GPS, it doesn't rely on satellite signal.

Under dense tree canopies, in hollows, or anywhere signal is unreliable, the RM21 navigates with the same precision as it does on an open fairway. It knows exactly where it is because it's reading the physical environment around it - not waiting for a signal from space.

In open areas the RCM01 uses GPS-RTK - Real-Time Kinematic positioning - which achieves centimetre-level accuracy rather than the metre-level accuracy of standard GPS.

The machine knows its position to within a few centimetres at all times. That's what makes consistent, straight mowing lines possible across the full width of a fairway, automatically, without drift.

The FJD Landscaping App gives your greenkeeping team live visibility of every machine on the course - position, status, mowing progress, battery level, alerts.

Schedules are set and adjusted from a tablet. If a machine stops for any reason - an obstacle, a low battery, an unexpected boundary - you get an alert immediately. Remote monitoring means no one has to walk the course at 3am to check progress.
