Projects

Projects and examples from space, industry and SaaS

Six engagements that show how we work: the starting point, the chosen solution and the measured result after go-live.

Selected case studies

01 · Earth observation

Flood mapping from SAR data for a civil protection network

Starting point
After an event, analyses took 30 to 40 hours and were assembled manually.
Solution
Automated pipeline with Sentinel-1 ingest, a segmentation model, reference data comparison and a tile server for response maps.
Result
First situation map in 46 minutes; 12 cantons and regions in operation.
02 · Industry

Predictive maintenance for 240 forming presses

Starting point
Unplanned downtime cost the manufacturer around EUR 4.2 million per year.
Solution
Edge capture of vibration and current signals, an anomaly model per machine type, and a maintenance cockpit wired into ticketing.
Result
Unplanned downtime reduced by 38%, payback in 9 months.
03 · Vertical SaaS

Operations platform for small satellite constellations

Starting point
An operator ran 18 satellites on spreadsheets and one-off scripts.
Solution
Multi-tenant platform for contact planning, telemetry analysis, anomaly alerting and regulator reporting.
Result
Weekly planning effort cut from 22 to 5 hours.
04 · Industry

Vision-based quality inspection in electronics manufacturing

Starting point
Visual inspection was sample-based and defect patterns surfaced late.
Solution
Camera stations with edge inference, continuous retraining and inspection records for audits.
Result
False positive rate below 1.4%, scrap down 27%.
05 · Vertical SaaS

MRV platform for forest carbon projects

Starting point
Certification evidence was compiled by hand from field reports and maps.
Solution
Satellite time series combined with a field app and a tamper-evident reporting module aligned to the standards.
Result
Audit preparation cut from 6 weeks to 4 days.
06 · Technology

Energy analytics for a commercial vehicle fleet

Starting point
Consumption data sat in three systems and allowed no root cause analysis.
Solution
A shared data model, driving profile classification and a charging window recommendation module.
Result
Energy cost per 100 km reduced by 11%.

How these numbers are produced

Before every go-live we agree a baseline measurement and its collection method with the business unit. The results shown come from measurements taken three to twelve months after rollout and were approved by the respective customers.

Sectors and use cases

Where our projects typically originate and the questions behind them.

Earth observation and geospatial

Flood and forest mapping, change detection, infrastructure monitoring, ground segment tooling and tile servers for large archives.

Manufacturing and plant engineering

Predictive maintenance, vision-based quality inspection, operator guidance, energy and OEE analysis down to machine level.

Energy, mobility and infrastructure

Fleet analytics, grid and consumption forecasting, condition monitoring of distributed assets wired into existing control systems.

Regulated markets

Evidence and reporting platforms for certification, sustainability and regulators, with tamper-evident data retention.

Questions about references and results

Can we speak to your customers?

Yes. After the first conversation we arrange reference calls with project owners from a comparable sector, as far as confidentiality allows.

Why are some customer names missing?

Part of our work is under non-disclosure, especially in defence and critical infrastructure. In those cases we state the sector, the order of magnitude and the result, but not the name.

Do these results transfer to our company?

The order of magnitude usually does, the exact figure rarely. During scoping we calculate a benefit estimate from your own baseline.
