Marking Out The Future With TinyLineMarker Robots From Origin Amenity Solutions

Line marking, an essential aspect of maintaining pitches, sports fields, and courts, has seen remarkable advancements over the decades. Origin Amenity Solutions (OAS) is at the forefront of this revolution, offering cutting-edge robotic line markers that offer a host of benefits and transform our approach to this age-old task. The TinyLineMarker Sport and the recently launched Pro X robots are leading the way, delivering accuracy, efficiency, and cost savings to clubs across the UK.

The Evolution Of Line Marking

Historically, line marking was a labour-intensive process involving traditional methods and materials such as dry and slaked chalk, carbonaceous preservatives, and various manual tools. These methods were time-consuming, required skilled labour, and often produced inconsistent results, especially in adverse weather conditions. Modern paints, although more durable, still faced issues with environmental degradation and required frequent reapplication.

Enter The Robotic Revolution

The integration of GPS/RTK (Global Positioning System/Real Time Kinematics) technology has revolutionised line marking. The result is mm-level accuracy in line marking, achieved autonomously, whilst freeing up manpower and significantly cutting down on time and costs.

The TinyLineMarker Sport

The TinyLineMarker Sport is suited to Sports clubs, schools, colleges, universities, and smaller contractors. This model is ideal for those who require frequent, precise line marking but do not have the resources to employ large grounds maintenance teams. The TinyLineMarker Sport provides-

• Ease of Use: The robot is simple and safe to operate, allowing even those with minimal technical expertise to use it effectively.
• Efficiency: It can mark a standard-sized football pitch in just 25 minutes, including penalty spots and corner arcs.
• Customisable: The Sport Package enables customers to choose relevant Pitch templates.
• Versatility: The robot is capable of marking pitches with moveable goals or fixed sockets, and its pitch dimensions can be easily adjusted.
• Environmental Benefits: It operates on low energy consumption, is battery-powered, and produces zero emissions, making it an eco-friendly option.

Introducing The TinyLineMarker Pro X

The TinyLineMarker Pro X represents the pinnacle of robotic line marking technology. It is designed for Local authorities and large contractors or where the surface is in poor condition. This robot keeps going when others can't – it can mark in all conditions.

The new models are packed with innovative features designed to make line marking as streamlined and effortless as possible. Here’s why the Pro X and Sport are proving so popular –

• Multi-Select Tool: One of the most popular features, this tool allows users to queue multiple pitches to be marked out in a specific order, saving significant time. The robot displays the route it will take, ensuring a clear path for a seamless marking project.
• Low Paint Alert: This feature sends an automatic alert to the user’s tablet when paint levels are low or if there is a blockage. This ensures that the robot operates without interruption, further enhancing productivity. The robots automatically stop if the paint runs out.
• Custom Logo Feature: Users can now mark custom logos on their fields using a simple three-step process via the supplied tablet. This feature has been particularly well-received, allowing clubs to personalise their pitches with logos and designs.
• Upgraded Hardware and Electronics: Both models boast new buttons for pump and nozzle activation, making it easier to prime, clean, and test the robot. Enhanced electronics give reliable and powerful line marking results.
• Adjustable fluent run settings allow you to customise the turning radius to overcome those tight spaces.

Upgraded Technology

Upgrades to RTK/GNNS systems have greatly improved performance around trees and buildings. Software updates have also improved anti-napping and tree filters so customers can expect improved performance in the most demanding scenarios with the TinyLineMarker robots.

A Must For Sports Clubs

The introduction of the upgraded TLM models has brought significant advantages to football and sports clubs across the UK, including -

• Time and Cost Savings: The robot’s efficiency in marking pitches allows grounds maintenance teams to focus on other essential tasks such as mowing, aeration, and spraying. This optimises the use of resources and reduces overall maintenance costs.
• Consistency and Accuracy: TLM Robots deliver consistent, reliable marking with mm accuracy. This precision ensures that all markings are uniform, enhancing the quality of the playing surface.
• Stress Reduction: Pre-season preparation can be a stressful time for grounds maintenance specialists. TLM Robots help by taking over the labour-intensive task of line marking, allowing staff to manage other critical tasks.
• Enhanced Presentation: Custom logos and accurate markings improve the overall presentation of sports fields, reflecting positively on clubs and enhancing the experience for players and spectators alike.

The Perfect Partnership With IMPACT Paint

Adding to the environmental advantages of robotic line marking, the use of IMPACT^TM paint from OAS enhances sustainability efforts. The range of IMPACT ^TM paints is free from harmful solvents and heavy metals. It naturally breaks down over time without releasing toxins, reducing the ecological footprint of regular line marking.

IMPACT^TM paint also offers significant water-saving benefits. Unlike traditional paints that require large amounts of water for application and maintenance, IMPACT^TM paint needs minimal water, 89% less than traditional line marking paints. A real benefit during periods of droughts or in areas focused on water conservation.

Combined with the low-energy, zero-emission operation of TinyLineMarker robots, IMPACT^TM paint ensures an environmentally friendly line-marking process that helps clubs meet environmental regulations and supports them in adopting sustainable practices.
