In the management of golf driving ranges, maintaining a consistent supply of clean balls is a high-priority task. Automated and manual ball pickers are the backbone of this operation, but they face harsh outdoor conditions that often lead to equipment failure and operational downtime.
Golf ball pickers operate primarily outdoors under direct sunlight. Standard tablet or control screens are often unreadable due to glare, and traditional touchscreens frequently malfunction when exposed to morning dew, rain, or when operated by staff wearing work gloves.
Operating on uneven turf, sand traps, and rough grass exposes the vehicle’s hardware to constant vibration. Furthermore, the risk of being struck by high-velocity golf balls is a constant threat. Without a reinforced interface, control panels can easily crack or suffer internal damage, leading to costly repairs.
For large-scale driving ranges, coordinating multiple pickers requires precise GPS tracking and real-time data on hopper capacity and battery levels. Lack of a reliable, connected interface makes it difficult for managers to optimize picking paths or integrate autonomous driving systems.
Rugstorm Touch Panels provide the high-performance interface needed to modernize golf range maintenance. By combining outdoor-optimized display technology with extreme physical durability, Rugstorm ensures that ball pickers—whether manual or autonomous—operate at peak efficiency in all conditions.
Rugstorm panels feature high-brightness displays (up to 1000 nits) and anti-reflective coatings, ensuring perfect visibility even on the brightest summer days. The advanced capacitive touch sensors are designed to work flawlessly in wet conditions and support glove-touch, allowing uninterrupted service regardless of the weather.
Built to withstand the rigors of the field, Rugstorm panels feature IP65/IP67-rated sealing to keep out water, grass clippings, and dust. The screens are protected by chemically strengthened glass capable of withstanding the vibrations of rough terrain and the accidental impact of stray golf balls.
Equipped with robust connectivity options (4G/5G, GPS, and CAN-bus), Rugstorm touch panels act as the “brain” of the ball picker. They enable real-time path planning, remote monitoring, and seamless integration with autonomous navigation software, reducing labor costs and maximizing ball collection rates.
