THE SECRET TO DREDGE ROBOTICS' AWARD-WINNING INNOVATION.
-
Dredge Robotics' recognition as the winner for the Innovative Mining Solution category in the 2025 Australian Mining Prospect Awards is a watershed moment for the Western Australian technology company, which has relied on imaginative thinking to rise from humble beginnings.
“When I first started working at this company [in 2006], we were based in a shed next to a house with only three employees, and we had not much more than of a lot of ambition,” Dredge Robotics chief executive officer Antony Old said. “To be awarded this amongst a pretty heavyweight and impressive field is huge for us.”
Bibra Lake-based Dredge Robotics is helping to transform water asset maintenance in the mining sector with innovations like the Zero Entry Robotic Dredging System. This award-winning product is a remotely operated solution engineered to service ponds, tanks and tailings facilities without requiring manual human entry.
