ZCS: ITALIAN EXCELLENCE
Specialists
in Garden
Technology
IN THE WORLD
Over the years, ZCS has been able to expand its
boundaries and to successfully export the most
advanced and innovative technology to more than 40
countries.
ZCS has one main office and three branch offices
in Italy. 2014 marked an important stage in the
company’s internationalisation process with the
40
countries
Zucchetti Centro Sistemi Spa was founded in
1985 as a Software House. Today it is an innovative
multi-division company present on international
markets with products from its robotics and
automation division, made by combining know-how
and the highest professional standards in the fields
of computer science, electronics and mechanics.
For 15 years, ZCS has been designing,
manufacturing, innovating and distributing
Ambrogio, the robotic lawnmower with the most
comprehensive range on the market: 15 models
that can manage gardens of any difficulty in a
reliable, tireless, safe and effective manner.
The Ambrogio models stand out because they allow
obtaining beautiful lawns: frequent and randomised
cutting, reduction in water consumption, reduction
in weed regrowth, excellent aesthetic results
that cannot be obtained with traditional mowing,
maintenance of lawn at the desired height all year
round. The robot can also work at any time of the
day or night, is equipped with standard rain sensors
and perfectly navigates around obstacles.
You can now enjoy your well-manicured lawn and
spend more time doing the things you love, all
thanks to Ambrogio.
A legend in your garden!
Zucchetti Centro Sistemi invests in the development
of high-quality products designed specifically
for garden care. The real specialists in Garden
Technology.

INNOVATE
What new products and features
were introduced in 2014?
In 2014, the range of Ambrogio robotic lawnmowers
was technically improved and expanded, and the first
robotic pool cleaner, Nemh2o made its debut: a small
robot with amazing power and efficiency.
Interview with Fabrizio Bernini,
President of Zucchetti Centro Sistemi Spa
“If you always do what you’ve always done, you will always get what you’ve always got”
What does it mean for you to
innovate today?
Innovation is seeing what everyone sees and
thinks about something that no one has thought
of yet. It is the impetus to achieve a goal through
non-traditional methods.
Innovation must stimulate companies to create new
products, bringing uniqueness to the development of
a project. Therefore, the secret to obtain a good level
of competitiveness is to anticipate the needs of the
market, creating something that does not yet exist.
How important is innovation to
Zucchetti Centro Sistemi?
Innovation is the heart of Zucchetti Centro Sistemi’s
business culture. At ZCS, we believe that innovation
is the only path to development and that true value
is represented by ideas and creativity. ZCS does not
present itself on the market as a company specialising
in garden care products, but rather as a specialist in
the fields of agriculture and home automation. We
make robots that can be used in different sectors. We
consider ourselves specialists in these areas and, as
such, we are able to offer guarantees and assurances.
A. Einstein
At ZCS, we focus strongly on diversification software, mechanics and electronics - in order to
offer the best mechatronic solutions.
In this regard, our “Laboratory of Ideas” consisting
of highly qualified personnel, creates projects and
products not yet available on the market, but that
the market is ready to receive. This is how the line of
Ambrogio robotic lawnmowers was born!
How was Ambrogio robot born?
Ambrogio robot was born 15 years ago. The insight
was to use the excellent skills present in the company
to create an autonomous system to care for and
maintain a garden. Ambrogio is now present on the
market with a comprehensive range of products
able to cover areas of up to 30,000 sqm and to
handle lawns of any size, shape and difficulty.
The newest addition to the Ambrogio range is L400
Elite, designed to manage large areas of up to 30,000
sqm, including parks, airfields, golf courses and
soccer fields. It is equipped with referential GPS that
delivers high-precision mowing, which has not been
available on the market until now. The use of this
new technology licensed exclusively to ZCS allows the
L400 Elite to offer excellent technical performances
with high-precision mowing (3 cm) in a very short time.
Nemh2o requires no power cords, it can work 365
days a year, it recharges itself in complete autonomy
in water by means of induction and is programmed
through Bluetooth. Nemh2o means there is no longer
any need to cover the pool, even in winter, thus saving
on operating costs. However, the real innovation of
Nemh2o is that it makes use of the large filters present
in every pool. The Nemh2o turbines break up leaves
and debris deposited in the water and stimulate the
work of the large filters. This means that the Nemh2o
filter rarely needs to be cleaned.
What other solutions does
Zucchetti Centro Sistemi design
and manufacture?
In addition to the Ambrogio and Nemh2o lines, other
projects being developed by the ZCS Robotics Division
relate to the world of energy, such as the revolutionary
“Elios Mobile”, the innovative energy storage system
with solar panels. There are also the robotic feeding
systems called “Groom robot” and “Dog robot” for
horses and dogs, respectively.
The offer continues with automated solutions developed
by our Automation Division: conveyor belts for automatic
wardrobe systems and dirty garments, distributors for
folded garments, machines for receiving dirty garments,
automatic pick-up doors, etc…. which can be used
in hospitals, industrial plants, hospitality facilities,
professional laundries, private sectors (spas and gyms).
The company also has Software and Healthcare
divisions that develop software products tailored to the
specific needs of industrial and healthcare sectors.

complex, with obstacles
or slopes. Ambrogio
meets them all
SLOPES
Manages slopes of up to 45%
without any problems, up to
25% near the perimeter wire.
For the L85 model, the
maximum slope is 55%

ORIGINAL PARTS:
GUARANTEE OF SAFETY
AND DURABILITY
ZCS’s commitment to safety means the components
of Ambrogio are carefully selected, tested, and
eventually discarded if they do not meet the
company’s high standards for placing the products on
the market.
So why buy the best robotic lawnmower and then not
preserve its technical qualities?
This is why you should only use original parts:
• Original parts ensure the quality standard, and
allow maintaining the original performances of
the machine. The use of original parts is the best
choice in the long term. In fact, even though nonoriginal parts are less expensive, they do not offer
the certainty of maintaining the performances of the
Ambrogio robot and can lead to serious damage.
• The use of non-original parts inevitably leads
to total loss of the warranty, since the replaced
parts may damage other important components
of the machine.
• Ambrogio has been designed to stand the test
of time; the use of original parts ensures
long service life of the robot in line with the
expectations.
•
For some parts, such as the cutting blade and
perimeter wire, there is also the safety aspect.
In fact, the use of original parts, having the same
quality as those used in production, guarantees
conformity of the Ambrogio machines with the
European directives on safety and functionality.
Here are some problems that may arise from the use
of non-original parts:
• No full coverage of the area to be mowed
• Loss of signal of the perimeter wire
• Oxidation of the perimeter wire
• Danger of collision with the blades of the robot if
non-compliant.
All the robots in the Ambrogio line are the result of
in-depth studies and extensive field tests performed
to determine the behaviour and to prevent any
anomalies. Ambrogio also has CE Certification
which means it fully meets the most stringent
international safety standards.
Ambrogio is a real robotic lawn mower:
Do not underestimate its maintenance!
