Mirragin Consulting launches MADE ecosystem portal

Brisbane-based Mirragin Consulting has launched its Mirragin Australian Drone Ecosystem (MADE) portal to connect Australian businesses, industry, and government with trusted drone and autonomous system providers. MADE is building a connected, national drone (or Uncrewed Aerial System – UAS) and autonomous systems ecosystem and serving as a one-stop-shop to seamlessly help connect end users with the right drone specialists and capabilities to meet their needs.

“Drones and autonomous systems are being used everywhere – from crop monitoring to search and rescue missions,” says Rob Sutton, MADE’s Managing Director and founder. “But industries don’t always know where to go to find the right technology or right support. MADE acts as a matchmaking ecosystem by connecting customers with trusted drone suppliers and specialists across the country.”

Once viewed as primarily defence-focused capability, it’s now clear that drones are transforming a wide range of industries across Australia including agriculture, mining, energy and emergency services, says MADE. But for many organisations, accessing the right solutions and capabilities from suppliers remains complex and time-consuming.

The portal is designed to support rapid adoption of drone technology while also boosting Australia’s sovereign capability and making it easier for industries to find and engage with Australian drone and autonomous system solutions, says the company.

MADE is seen as an industry leader in this space and as UAS industry demand continues to grow it is ensuring that Australian defence and civilian industries can easily and seamlessly access autonomous solutions, fast.

“We’re incredibly proud to see MADE evolving into a national ecosystem that connects suppliers and end users through a single, streamlined platform,” said Rob Sutton. “As part of this, we’ve also launched the MADE Search and Rescue (SAR) Network – a rapid-response capability that enables emergency services to quickly access trusted drone support when and where it is needed most.”
