The Accenture Innovation Zone at GRX25 is a dynamic initiative designed to bring together the brightest minds from startups, small companies, and research institutions. Situated on the main exhibition floor, this dedicated space will attract significant foot traffic, ensuring your innovations are showcased to industry leaders, investors, and peers alike. Please see some of the 2025 Accenture Innovation Zone participants below:
Optrix
Optrix has developed ARDI, a DataOps platform that consolidates and visualises digital information from mining machines and processes in real time. It provides mining companies with a single source of truth for digital data, enabling improved decision-making, remote operational monitoring, and machine learning applications to optimise processing efficiency.
Greyman Ops
GreymanOPS provides integrated pest management for mine sites using thermal drones to detect, track, and remove feral animals such as pigs and dogs. Their services improve workplace safety, reduce biosecurity risks, and support environmental rehabilitation. The company is focused on raising awareness of its solutions in the mining sector.
Swing Invent Holdings
Swing Invent Holdings designs swing pedal controls for hydraulic shovels and draglines, addressing repetitive strain injuries caused by joystick operation. Their technology reduces operator fatigue and enhances efficiency. Already installed in 60 percent of draglines in Australia, the company is working with global equipment manufacturers to expand adoption in hydraulic shovels.
Loop Hydrometallurgy
Loop Hydrometallurgy is commercialising the Halion Loop™, a process for producing high-purity copper on-site using saltwater-based extraction. This innovation reduces energy consumption, operating costs, and carbon footprint while enabling the processing of lower-grade and complex ores. The company is seeking investment and partnerships to advance commercialisation.
University of Adelaide - Fluorine Sensor
The University of Adelaide has developed a handheld fluorescence-based sensor for real-time fluorine contamination detection in coal. This sensor improves operational efficiency by eliminating delays from lab testing, protecting equipment, ensuring regulatory compliance, and enhancing coal marketability. Further investment and partnerships are needed for commercialisation.
University of Adelaide - MOVE Toolkit
The MOVE Toolkit, developed with BHP and IGO, provides a techno-economic analysis tool for mine electrification. It helps companies plan and optimise the adoption of electric haul trucks, charging infrastructure, and renewable energy to minimise costs and emissions while maintaining operational efficiency. The project requires further investment for commercial rollout.
Theia Simulation
Theia provides dynamic simulation modelling for mining operations, focusing on decarbonisation strategies. Their platform enables mining companies to assess fleet electrification, charging infrastructure, and renewable energy integration, helping avoid costly physical pilots. With established industry partnerships and a growing revenue stream, Theia is scaling its solution and will present proof-of-concept results at GRX25.
Stratum AI
StratumAI’s SAIGE technology uses machine learning to create highly accurate 3D models for mine planning and ore control, outperforming traditional Kriging models. It improves drilling, resource classification, and processing efficiency while reducing waste. The company seeks wider industry adoption to demonstrate its value and overcome skepticism toward AI solutions.
Metalogenia Australia
MTG has developed smart ground engaging tools (GET) for hydraulic excavators, using sensors to track wear, detect detachment, and optimise digging performance. The system improves efficiency and reduces downtime, with a fast return on investment. Adoption is challenged by competition from other digital tools and industry hesitation toward new technology.
Stimula Strategic Consulting
Stimula is working with FitWork Chile to commercialise FitIris, an AI-driven eye monitoring solution that detects cognitive impairment and fatigue in workers. Using infrared sensors and machine learning, FitIris provides real-time assessments, reducing accident risks and improving worker safety, productivity, and compliance. The solution is currently in pilot phase, with plans for expansion.
