Smart Coach for Garden with Husqvarna Group

With the right data, the Smart Coach could evolve into a comprehensive recommendation engine for garden design and maintenance. For example, by analyzing parameters such as soil moisture and temperature, the Smart Coach could suggest which plants are most suitable for a specific garden or how to care for them effectively. It could also provide guidance on the optimal use of gardening tools, such as advising how frequently a robotic lawn mower should cut a specific type of grass.

The system could incorporate components like add-ons for lawnmowers or sensors placed in the garden environment. Additionally, it could utilize external data, such as weather forecasts and historical information about the conditions of specific green spaces. The solution could be software-based, hardware-based, or a combination of both, with the potential for direct integration into Husqvarna Group’s various customer interfaces.

Husqvarna Group, as a global leader in green space management, offers startups the opportunity to test their solutions in real-world environments, with the potential for scaling across multiple markets. The solutions developed will not be standalone but will evolve into a larger ecosystem with Husqvarna’s extensive and established customer base, through either joint development or licensing agreements. The solutions will be evaluated based on their cost-effectiveness and ability to enable new business models.
