We now offer our customers data and expert analysis of the US Supply Chain Management in near-real-time as seen from satellite images.

In this study, we illustrate how our satellite-based nowcasting solutions can be used to track the evolution of the economic impact during one month of the nationwide lockdown in Malaysia imposed in June 2021 in response to the latest surge of the pandemic.

Satellites can image almost every corner of the earth. ML algorithms can be developed to recognize objects, detect changes, and measure economic activity with these images. This opens up endless possibilities. The question is not only what to look for – but where to look for it?

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 the past year, we’ve launched lots of new, groundbreaking datasets. SpaceKnow Insights is a data platform that brings these pieces together, giving our customers a front-row seat to see what’s happening in every industry observable from space, every day.

As a second wave of COVID19 lockdowns hit Europe, we look at our new nowcasting Satellite Activity Indices (SAI) to assess the effect on economic activity. Read our blog to find out how the second wave compares to the last lockdown, and how various sectors in different countries are responding.

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 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.
