Recently Husqvarna have put resources behind the training of dealers in its robotic product, in order to upskill and help educate them on the selling points of the Automower for the end user.



The training came in two formats; basic and advanced, and the company says it proved successful in a number of locations.

Basic Automower training consisted of:

• Understanding how Husqvarna Automower works
• A live installation demonstration
• Installation examples
• Basic servicing
• Using Autocheck
• Testing
• How to access all necessary documentation

Training sessions took place in: Harlow, Bath, Chesterfield, Edinburgh and Coleraine. Due to popular demand one more session is to be arranged soon.

Advanced training consisted of a more in-depth look at the market and how robotics are tested and benchmarked. This training took place at Husqvarna’s UK headquarters in Newton Aycliffe and covered:

• A factory tour to see Husqvarna Automower® being manufactured
• Advanced installation examples
• Advanced setting examples
• Using Autocheck
• How we test and benchmark Automower
• Market overview
• Cable break finding
• Dealer Q & A session

Due to the success of the training sessions, the company say they will be exploring more opportunities next year to educate dealers in the benefits of the Automower.

Husqvarna UK Sales and Marketing Director, Ken Brewster said, "The basic training provided an insight to those who had perhaps had only minimal involvement with Automower in the past allowing them to get a solid understanding of its benefits. The advanced training on the other hand really dove deeper into the marketplace and the opportunities for dealers to thrive with our robotic product.

"We’re pleased with the feedback we’ve received and will be looking to hold further sessions in the future.”
