ROBOTIC INFRASTRUCTURE 'SCALED UP'

Agrovista Amenity say they have significantly expanded their robotics division following a sustained increase in demand for autonomous turfcare solutions.

Having spent more than a year distributing line marking machines and mowers, the company have announced what they describe as "a major investment" in its robotics infrastructure "to support continued growth and ensure customers receive best-in-class technical expertise."

As part of this expansion, Agrovista has come to an agreement to succeed XDC’s robotic operation. The move sees experienced robotic specialist Liam Pindred join the Agrovista team, alongside autonomous solutions and drone technology specialist Brian Turner.

Together with Dave Mitchell, who joined the business in 2025, the trio forms a dedicated robotics division focused on demonstrations, installations and aftersales support across the UK.

The investment, they say, reflects the rapid growth of robotic technology within the amenity sector.

"We've seen exceptional growth in demand for robotic technology over the past year, and it was clear we needed to invest further in the infrastructure behind the technologies," said Dan Hughes, head of commercial (Amenity) at Agrovista UK.

"By expanding our dedicated robotics team with some of the industry's most experienced specialists, we're ensuring customers receive the highest levels of support from initial demonstration through to installation and long-term aftersales care. This investment is about building the expertise and service infrastructure needed to support the continued evolution of robotics in the amenity sector."

Alongside strengthening its technical support team, Agrovista say they continue to benefit from ongoing developments across its robotic product portfolio.

They boast that the RM21 robotic mower has received a series of specification enhancements, while the RLM01 robotic line marker continues to evolve through battery improvements, software upgrades and enhanced logo-marking capabilities.
