Vegetation Management

Vegetation management

Run vegetation and land-clearing work from off-site. Bolt H.E.R.O. onto a machine you already own.

Built for utility ROW, fuels reduction, powerline clearing, and land management contractors.

Vegetation management machine operating in the field

Value delivered for vegetation management

Remote operation that expands what your existing fleet can do - without a new cab.

Expand what the existing fleet can do

Take on ROW, fuels, and clearing work with machines you already own - without buying a new cab or a purpose-built unmanned platform.

Hours and coverage when nobody will sit in that seat

Keep the machine working on linear or remote jobs when the cab is the reason it sits - heat, hours, or a corridor nobody wants to occupy.

Hire operators from anywhere

They work from the station, not the ROW. If you need operators, BOVI can staff them.

Less exposure on linear, steep, or fire-prone work

Keep people off high-risk ROW, fuels, and clearing sites while the machine stays in the cut.

Same machine, less cab wear

The platform stays in the fleet. Cab-tied wear items see less use when the operator is at the station instead of in the seat.

Built for difficult RF and terrain

Built on military-grade local radios and multi-path connectivity for reliable remote operation where coverage is thin and terrain is harsh.

One integration. Then many machines.

Paid initial integration on one model. After it is proven, we scale onto more machines you already own.

01

Scope the first unit

Model, site, coverage, who operates. This is the platform you will repeat across the fleet.

Audit

02

Integrate

Bolt-on kits on that first machine. That work becomes the pattern for the rest.

Architecture

03

Validate

Prove the system on unit one: spotter rules, link-loss stop, agreed tasks.

Field validation

04

Scale the fleet

Link + Ops stays up. Additional units of the same model reuse the integration - one to many on machines you already own.

Deployment

Technical advantages

What ships on every first unit - plus cutting-platform features where the head needs them.

On every first unit

Bolt-on retrofit, no machine redesign

Installed on the named model you already run.

Multi-path link

Local radio bonded with cellular / satellite so command and video survive thin coverage.

Fail-safes on link loss

The machine stops when the link drops. Written into the first-unit envelope.

Full telemetry

Monitor oil pressure, gauges, system health, and key operating parameters remotely.

Real-time geofence

Define safe operating zones to keep machines within approved areas.

Cab override remains

On-machine override stays available. Remote control does not lock out the cab.

On cutting platforms (mulchers and similar heads)

Coming soon

Auditory rock / metal strike detection

Alerts when the machine hits rock or metal so operators can respond quickly.

Smoke detection / shutdown

Automatic shutdown support to help prevent fires and protect equipment.

Reduced manned-cab wear items

Lower costs associated with AC filters, Lexan windows, and related wear items tied to manned cabs.

Same bolt-on family, different job

Agriculture and search & rescue use the same kits. They are proof of the stack - not the primary vegetation-management offer.

In Agriculture
  • Bolt-on kits supporting remote mowing and spraying in challenging fields
  • Performance that can match manned crews while reducing operator risk
  • Continuous operations across varying conditions
See H.E.R.O. for Agriculture →
Search & Rescue

Large-area remote operation

  • Full remote operation over large zones (e.g. multi-square-mile areas)
  • Effective speeds over rough terrain comparable to or exceeding manned crews
  • Reliable performance in low-light and demanding conditions
