Monitor and Mitigate Risk to High-Value Assets

Intro

Remote infrastructure monitoring with UP42

Infrastructure, such as pipelines, power lines, and railways, can span hundreds of kilometers. As a result, manual, in-person monitoring is virtually impossible. The advent of high-resolution satellite imagery and machine learning makes automated monitoring of infrastructure from individual locations to transnational powerlines a breeze.

Overview

High-resolution imagery and weather data

Monitor assets using high-resolution, high-revisit-rate satellites to provide recent imagery of assets. Augment analysis with 1000 weather parameters.

Change detection and risk prediction

Detect change to areas surrounding critical infrastructure and implement alert systems for high-risk weather conditions.

Integrate into alert systems

Use our toolkit to seamlessly integrate data and processing outputs into existing or new geospatial products and early warning systems.

Benefits

Ensure data, and therefore insights, are as near-real-time as possible.

Build your solution with UP42

The technical details

How can you use UP42 to build remote asset monitoring solutions?

Building blocks

Choose your data and analytics

Create a workflow using data and analytics from vast options available on the UP42 marketplace. Or make UP42 your own but bringing in your own data and algorithms to run on our scalable infrastructure. Choose from a range of satellite data sources, weather data, aerial data, and more to feed pre-processing and machine-learning algorithms that are perfect for detecting change.

Processing

Apply algorithms to your data

Once you've built your workflow, trigger your analysis with full transparency into progress and pricing. Jobs can be triggered manually or automatically through the API to automatically run analysis when new archive data is available for your customer's area of interest and requirements, such as cloud cover.

Supplemental data

Access additional variables

Combine the outputs of your change detection algorithms with other data that, without additional processing, can provide early warning signals. For example, you can access 1000 weather parameters, including forecasts, on the UP42 platform that can warn forthcoming extreme weather conditions. Additionally, high-resolution digital elevation models can, over time, be used to illuminate changes to the landscape that indicate increasing geological risks to infrastructure.

API

Automate insights and alert your users

With UP42's Python SDK, you have the toolkit to trigger analytics workflows and receive insights directly in your systems. As a result, you can embed the outputs of UP42 workflows into your customers' legacy systems or in purpose-built early warning systems. Using Python, you can build alert systems if outputs of models or raw data fall outside of safety thresholds.
