Vegetation Management

Keep the iron moving.
Move fewer people.

A bolt-on remote operation kit lets existing heavy equipment fleets run from anywhere.

Built for utility ROW, fuels reduction, powerline clearing, and land management — mulchers in remote right-of-way, skid steers on smaller cleanup.

Vegetation management machine operating in the field

Value delivered for vegetation management

Equipment loses money if it sits idle. A remote seat cuts travel cost and raises uptime.

Keep machines already in service working

Installs on the fleet you already run, agnostic to brand and model. Mulchers for right-of-way clearing in remote locations. Skid steers for smaller-scale cleanup.

Raise uptime when the seat would sit empty

Keep the machine working in heat, long hours, or remote locations no one wants to work. The work can be coordinated from one place.

Easier to train and keep skilled operators

Finding and retaining operators who will stay on the road is a challenge. A remote seat makes skilled operators easier to train and keep, working the site from anywhere.

The operator stays off the machine

Keep people off steep slopes and high-risk ROW, fuels, and clearing sites.

Cut travel cost and per diem

Moving crews and paying per diem adds cost on top of idle iron. A remote seat cuts that travel without taking the machine out of the field.

Connects where the work actually is

Cellular, satellite, and local radio, bonded for field coverage where the signal is thin and the terrain is harsh.

Technical advantages

What the kit does

Bolt-on, no machine redesign

Installs on machines already in service. Agnostic to brand and model.

Connects in remote locations

Cellular, satellite, and local radio, bonded for field coverage.

Fails safe

If the link drops, the machine stops. Local e-stop for on-site safety.

Full telemetry

Oil pressure, gauges, and system health from the station.

Limits operator error

Built-in geofencing and operator limits to protect the machine.

Cab override remains

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

Advanced perception

A bird's-eye view around the machine. Add-on capability for seeing through dust and light foliage.

Future

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.

Semi-autonomous operation

A path toward capabilities that take more of the repetitive work off the operator.

Same bolt-on family, different job

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
Search & Rescue
  • → 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
