The States Works Propagation Unit in Guernsey purchased their TinyLineMaker Pro X in February 2023. Guernsey is a small island, under 25 square miles. The administration of the island, Guernsey States Works, decided to switch to a GPS-automated robot for line marking. This means that the Pro X is responsible for line marking in the whole territory, making it one of our ‘biggest’ customers (at least by sovereign scope).
Richard Langmead manages the Land Management section of States Works. His team carries out grounds maintenance predominantly for the States of Guernsey local government which includes maintaining school grounds, parks, cliff paths, social housing and other public spaces on the island.

To help avoid problems, the robot displays the route it will take to mark out all queued pitches, so the users can ensure that the path is clear of obstructions for a seamless line-marking project. The robot also provides estimated completion time and driving distance, keeping users informed about project progress.
Working hand in hand with the Multi-Select Tool, the Low Paint Alert feature ensures no time is wasted due to running low on paint when sending the Pro X off to mark multiple pitches in succession. When the robot is running low on paint, an automatic alert is sent to the user’s hand-held tablet notifying paint level is low. In addition, the robot will also send an alert if there is blockage which is preventing the robot from marking. “A simple yet time saving feature that is going to be incredibly useful to
