COVID has driven the demand for electronics through the roof, causing a global shortage of semiconductors, which has forced a variety of auto manufacturers to temporarily cease operations. Our algorithms process satellite data to capture these shutdowns in near-real time.

In this blog, we look at insights from our new Activity Structure Index – a warning signal for economic inflection points by looking at how COVID-19 lockdowns impacted auto production.

In this article, we uncover insights into China’s auto industry rebound post COVID lockdown, using our new China Automotive Satellite Activity Index. This is one of many industry specific indices we will be releasing in the near future, built using satellite data.

Our team has developed AI/ML algorithms designed to precisely classify military equipment on the ground using high-resolution satellite imagery. We analyzed Yelizovo Air Force Base and Avacha Bay to see if we could validate what was reported by the press.

Our China Satellite Manufacturing Index (June number released today) is an independent snapshot of overall manufacturing activity from space. In this post, we break the index down into specific categories ranging from distribution centers to container ports and more.

We are proud to announce the launch of SpaceKnow Nowcasting Solutions (SKNOW), an independent, near real-time product suite that tracks economic activity across a range of countries and industries.
