Watch: the award moment at ISSA 2026
The PUDU BG1 Series has won the 2026 ISSA Excellence Awards – People’s Choice Award at the ISSA Cleaning & Hygiene Expo in Melbourne.
What makes this recognition meaningful is who decides it. The People’s Choice Award is voted by the people attending the show — cleaning professionals, facility managers, customers and industry specialists who deal with these challenges every day.
What the award validates
For ERA Robotics, this is about more than one product. It validates the direction commercial cleaning is heading:
- More autonomous operation
- Greater cleaning consistency
- Better productivity
- Less repetitive physical work for cleaning teams
- Technology that solves practical operational problems
Great technology still needs proper implementation
Successful robotics also requires the right deployment, training, service, support and an understanding of each customer’s environment. That is where the partnership between PUDU Robotics and ERA Robotics matters.
ERA helps businesses across Australia and New Zealand assess, deploy and maintain commercial cleaning robots, backed by local support and maintenance. Also from the show: the PUDU GT Series mower launch at ISSA Melbourne.
Thank you
A big thank you to everyone who voted, visited the stand, shared feedback and supported us throughout ISSA 2026 — and congratulations to the entire PUDU and ERA teams.
Autonomous cleaning is no longer something the industry is waiting for. It is already here, and the industry is embracing it.
