Naperville Park District has begun testing new electric, autonomous mowers at several parks to see if it's a labor-saving option that could divert staff to other work.
A programmed, unmanned electric lawn mower cuts the grass Wednesday at Monarch Park in Naperville as Matt Pawlelski, of Naperville-based Havenshine Technologies, mows along the edges of the park property. Havenshine's technology allows one person to control the work and keep track of several robot mowers running at the same time.
Havenshine Technologies adds an autonomous element to commercial-grade electric lawn mowers, thus providing a safe, clean and cost-saving alternative to organizations that maintain large open fields, Sagalovich said. With the help of Havenshine, Naperville Park District is exploring how autonomous mowers might fit into the maintenance of the 2,400 acres the district oversees and help fill in gaps due to the current labor shortage.
“We can utilize in other functions that’s looking at maximizing staff and increasing service standards,” Teper said. The most challenging of the three was White Eagle Park, which has a playground, picnic shelter, basketball court and numerous trees and landscaped areas. Sagalovich said his company is working to fully configure each of the different park features into the map.
