Case Study: Renu Robotics improves solar field vegetation management with Digi XBee-PRO 900HP

Renu Robotics cuts vegetation management costs 30-50% with Digi International

Renu Robotics, a company focused on solar energy facility maintenance, faced the challenge of managing vegetation growth at large-scale solar farms. Traditional methods using chemical herbicides or landscaping crews were costly, environmentally harmful, and posed safety risks. To address this, they turned to Digi International and utilized the Digi XBee-PRO 900HP embedded RF modules for wireless communication in their autonomous mowing solution.

The solution implemented by Digi International involved a mesh network of XBee-PRO 900HP modules to provide long-range, reliable communication for a fleet of autonomous electric mowers called Renubots. This enabled precise navigation and centralized management. As a result, Renu Robotics helped solar facilities save 30-50% on vegetation management costs, eliminated safety concerns from human crews, and significantly reduced carbon emissions by using an all-electric autonomous vehicle.
