We’re excited to congratulate FireFly Automatix on being named a 2026 SFMA Innovative Award recipient by the Sports Field Management Association. The award recognizes companies whose products or technologies significantly improve the efficiency, effectiveness, and safety of sports field management.

Since 2010, the company has focused on developing precision robotics and automated systems that address real operational challenges across turf production and maintenance. Their solutions are designed to reduce labor pressure, improve consistency, and deliver measurable gains in productivity.
The SFMA Innovative Award is judged by sports field managers and industry professionals who evaluate how new technology advances the day to day work of the profession. To qualify, innovations must demonstrate clear value in improving playing surfaces and supporting those responsible for maintaining them. FireFly’s autonomous mowing and automated turf handling systems stood out for their practical application and forward looking approach.
