DSC Dredge launches the DSC DredgeMaster Suite, the First Dredge Production Smartphone App

DSC Dredge, leading custom dredge designer and manufacturer, recently announced the launch of its new app for iOS mobile devices – the DredgeMaster Suite. This addition to DSC’s technology suite illustrates the company’s initiative in building the most comprehensive experience for dredge owners and operators.

Over fifty years, and across three generations, the Wetta family has remained in the forefront of the dredging industry in terms of designing and manufacturing quality dredges and dredge equipment. With each generation introducing new and innovative opportunities to better serve this unique community, it’s no surprise that DSC has continued to become more innovative in addressing the technology gaps experienced by the dredging industry.

“We get dozens of requests to do dredge evaluations on a weekly basis,” said William “Bill”  J. Wetta, SVP and Chief Technology Officer, “For years we have tried to figure out a way to allow customers to have access to this information themselves without giving away all of our trade secrets. From this desire to better serve our customers, the concept of the DSC DredgeMaster Suite app was born.”

The first comprehensive solution of its kind, the DSC DredgeMaster Suite app has been developed entirely in-house as a collaborative father-son effort.  Bill’s youngest son, Nick Wetta, has spent the past two years working tirelessly to bring this concept to life.

This app is the first of its kind that will allow dredge owners and operators to take better control of their operations. “As time evolves, it is important to remember that it is not that we live in technology but that we use technology daily and the dredging industry should be no different”, stated Nick (official creator of the DSC DredgeMaster Suite app).

This digital tool is a comprehensive production toolbox that provides users with benchmarking data, operational information and “what-if” options at their fingertips. When paired with DSC’s Dredge Rx system, it becomes part of a complete maintenance solution that allows users to view and track dredge performance and required servicing while on the dredge or while working remotely.

According to Bill Wetta, “We are living in an age where technology can offer enormous upsides, and Nick has brought to life an idea that my brother, Bob, and I have been talking about over the past decade. This app, in a nutshell, shows whether a particular dredge meets the conditions requested. We are excited to introduce this technology to the dredging community as it will allow for easy access to information in real-time.”

“Over the years, DSC has focused its expertise on the design and manufacturing of customized dredges of all sizes and purposes for the dredging market.  As a result, we have dredge units in use throughout the world and across an expanse of industries; aggregates, mining, construction, environmental, navigational, recreational, restoration and specialty projects. This is all about customer service and helping make our product more user-friendly by putting the control in the palm of your hand.” stated Bob Wetta, President and Chief Executive Officer,  “It can save time, increase operational efficiency and instill confidence in the day-to-date operation.”

DSC’s app, the DSC DredgeMaster Suite, is now available in the Apple AppStore and currently only available for the iPhone or iPad.  Additional versions to be released soon. Download now.
