What's In An Alert?

Satelytics provides information-rich alerts, driving timely response.

Précis
  • Problem: Making data actionable.
  • Solution: Data-loaded alerts trigger response.
  • Benefit: Immediate response = decreased costs.

Many in the “remote sensing” world claim to offer analytics but, in reality, are employing analysts to look at pictures and make inferences. Satelytics’ algorithms automatically analyze a satellite image, transforming it into actionable alerts and measurements within hours of image delivery.

Let’s take a closer look at what information is included in a Satelytics alert.

Once imagery is captured by the satellite, the resulting data is transmitted to the cloud, where Satelytics’ algorithms go to work immediately. Results are then deposited to the cloud for viewing a few hours after the satellite overpass. Results are published in the form of individual alerts. Each alert includes:

  • A unique ID number. Projects may include hundreds or hundreds of thousands of alerts, depending on the project type or duration.
  • A timestamp. Satelytics never deletes any data; results can be searched by timeline or date.
  • A latitude/longitude indicating where the threat was identified. Location data can also be tied to local tax plats or company infrastructure like pads or pipeline assets for oil gas, or circuits and poles for our electric customers.
  • An upload function. A tab where pictures or documents associated with the threat can be uploaded and comments can be logged. After an alert has been investigated in the field, the status can be resolved so it doesn’t sidetrack future investigations.
  • Quantification. This means that not only is the threat physically identified, but also its severity.

Alerts are presented in map form overlaid on the actual image or in a table format. The alert can also be displayed side-by-side with the previous analysis showing the change.
