- optimal layout (no obstacles, simple zones)
Think of it as “best case, stretched usage”
What Makes the Husqvarna Automower 580 EPOS Different?
Unlike traditional robotic mowers, the 580 EPOS uses virtual boundaries instead of wires, allowing you to:
- Instantly adjust mowing zones
- Create temporary exclusion areas
- Continue mowing during aeration or repairs
- Manage multiple sites remotely
This makes it ideal for dynamic commercial environments where flexibility is critical.
