About Kress
Kress was founded in Germany in 1928. With more than 90 years of experience in electric motors, R&D and production and more than 50 years of experience in the creation and production of power tools, several generations of professional users have trusted Kress and its power tools for quality, reliability and durability. 2017 was a pivotal year in the history of the Kress brand, as it joined the international Positec group. With its enhanced R&D capabilities, Kress went all-in into the development of products such as their wireless robotic mowers which are one of the best in class, in the industry. Kress offers a great range of robotic mowers for residential and commercial customers.
Features
UNIQUE MAP™ (MOWING ACTION PLAN) TECHNOLOGY
MAP technology automatically determines the most efficient path to complete the job.
FULL IOT FUNCTIONALITY
All Kress robot mowers are loT devices that connect to cellular networks to receive OTA software updates, support theft protection, adjust operation for weather conditions, and more.
FUSION ALGORITHM
When satellite connection is blocked by trees or buildings, Kress's proprietary algorithm uses the mower's inertial and odometry data to maintain accurate navigation.
RTK" CENTIMETER-LEVEL POSITIONING ACCURACY
Kress's proprietary RTK-network delivers correction data to each robot mower without the need for any GNSS receiver antenna on the lawn.
PRECISE MULTI-ZONE MANAGEMENT
Kress's MAP technology allows the mower to move between zones independently.
RBSTM REGENERATIVE BRAKE SYSTEM
When running downhill, the robot mower slows down and converts its kinetic energy into power that's stored in the battery for a longer runtime.
KI – KRESS INTELLIGENCE
Lawn size, edge length, weather, and other factors are automatically processed by a powerful cloud computing system to determine the optimal algorithm and mowing cycle.
MAP™ ROUTE OPTIMIZATION
MAP technology automatically calculates the
mower's shortest route to the charging station from its current position
The Kress RTKn Network
RTKn Network
The Kress RTKn network consists of a series of RTK antennas strategically deployed by Kress. This network sets Kress mowers apart from other RTK technology-equipped mowers that necessitate a dedicated RTK antenna. Instead, Kress mowers utilize 4G connectivity to communicate with a remotely located RTK antenna installed by Kress, streamlining the process and enhancing efficiency.
