Groundcare Automation Systems
Groundcare automation systems are transforming how large outdoor spaces—like golf courses, sports pitches, parks, and estates—are maintained. These systems use robotics, sensors, and smart software to handle tasks like mowing, turf management, and even ball collection with minimal human input.
Here are a few standout examples:
Robotic Mowers: Companies like AMS Robotics offer autonomous mowers that can maintain up to 19 acres with precision. These are ideal for golf courses, sports fields, and large properties, reducing labour costs and fuel usage.
Smart Powertrain Solutions: Lancereal provides bespoke electric and engine-driven systems for groundcare machinery, including gear drives and motor controllers—key components for automating traditional equipment.
Fleet Management & Remote Monitoring: Many systems now include GPS tracking, app-based controls, and AI-powered scheduling to optimize performance and reduce downtime.
Pinchbeck is a village and civil parish in the South Holland district of Lincolnshire, England. The civil parish population was 5,153 at the 2001 census, 5,455 at the 2011 census[2] and 6,011 at the 2021 census. It is situated 2 miles (3.2 km) north from the centre of Spalding.
The name Pinchbeck is derived from either the Old English pinc+bece (Minnow Stream) or pinca+bece (Finch Ridge).[citation needed] A family long associated with the area took its name from the village, one member of which was Christopher Pinchbeck, a watchmaker responsible for the invention of the Pinchbeck alloy, which was once used for imitating gold in cheap jewellery.[3]
The Anglican village church is dedicated to Saint Mary, and is around 900 years old.[4] It has a wide nave with mid-12th-century arches, and a 15th-century single hammer-beam roof supported by large gilded angels carrying the heraldic escutcheons of the Pinchbeck family. The chancel is by restorer Herbert Butterfield.[5]
Village schools are Pinchbeck East C of E School Primary School and Pinchbeck West St Bartholomew's C of E Primary School.
