Consultancy
We are at home in large data volumes and provide support and consultancy for the implementation and evolution of large-scale data management and processing solutions. From cloud native technologies to hybrid solutions we design and build stable, secure and cost-effective solutions that keep large data volumes both accessible and safe.
With a combined experience of 30 years in the design and implementation of operational data management and production systems, we design specific solutions for all scales and many domains for deployment in-house, in the cloud or in-between.
Implementation, hosting and operations
We implement services using state-of-the-art, scalable and cloud affine concepts and ensure efficient deployment in the cloud by exploiting elasticity concepts across various cloud providers. We ensure secure and highly available operations through advanced architectures, solid implementation and rigid testing.
We provide hosting for web services including managed database solutions in secure environments with a focus on sustainability and efficiency.
We support service operations from cost estimation to setup and day to day operations support. For reliable operations cost prediction we can employ system modelling and simulation techniques to achieve precise estimation of prices in different environments to support reliable cost optimization solutions.
Data products and services
We produce a selection of earth observation data product types in campaigns and systematically. For sales conditions please check the individual products information. We can also cater for individually tailored or designed product and processing needs.
Our data service ieoto provides functionality for earth observation data search combined with extensive functionality for finding, storing and inventorizing in-situ and IoT data for efficient remote sensing data calibration as well as in-situ data management tasks.
Sentinel-1 Ship Sightings
Ship sightings in Sentinel-1 data enriched with AIS ship information for use in training of statistical and deep learning models for ship detection.
Sentinel-2 Ship Sightings
Ship sightings in Sentinel-2 data enriched with AIS ship information for use in training of statistical and deep learning models for ship detection.
Ship traffic data (AIS)
Our AIS data collection contains data received by terrestrial stations with a focus on European and North American coastal zones and water ways.
The data can be accessed through our data service IEOTO.
ADS-B Data
Our ADS-B data collection contains flight data from around the world since August 2022.
The data can be accessed through our data service IEOTO.
IEOTO data service
IEOTO is an earth observation and in-situ/IoT data catalogue that provides information and access to free and open earth observation data.
Service Hosting
Based on our extensive experience in secure hosting of open source solutions we offer secure and protected,
individualized hosting solutions for Nextcloud, Drupal, Wordpress and R/Shiny
on European cloud platforms. Our services include dedicated staging environments,
streamlined dev-ops pipelines with optional regular package update and availability and security monitoring.
Vibe Coding Cleanup
We support customers in cleaning up existing code, in
strategy development for cleaner ai-based development, and through consulting during coding sessions,
either on-site or online.
Projects and Achievements
We are proud to showcase our projects and achievements where we always relied on good communication and collaboration with our partners and customers to achieve technically advanced results that met their needs and expectations.
Oil Spill Analysis System COSIWeb2
We support the BSH Oil Forensics group by maintaining the COSIWeb2
(Computerized Oil Spill Identification) software system for oil spill data
analysis and sample comparison.
The COSIWeb2 system consists of a backend implemented in Java and a client frontend that is based on the vue3 framework.

NEC Directive Reporting Tool
We support the German environmental agency in the fulfilling their reporting
duties with respect to the NEC Directive (EU National Emissions reduction Commitments Directive)
towards the EEA.
For this project we implemented an integrated data management and report generation tool with data verification and visualization elements for efficient data assembly and reporting in the required output formats (Excel).

ESA EOEPCA Processing Building Block Integration
We were selected by ESA and Starion to introduce the Processing Building Block
of EO Exploitation Platform Common Architecture (EOEPCA) into our IEOTO
data service that provides unified access to Earth Observation
and in-situ data.
As part of the project we enhanced our service with hosted processing capabilities using the EOEPCA supported OGC interfaces and successfully registered with the Network of Resources (NoR).

DLR-DFD Operational Dashboard
We have been supporting the German Remote Sensing Data Center in the setup
and design of monitoring and operational dashboard views for a long
term data storage service.
The informative dashboard views provide insights into the system status, resource usage and data flow. The dashboard is based on a combination of open source tools including InfluxDB and Grafana.

Sentinel-2 Next Generation Requirements Engineering
We support Airbus in the context of the Sentinel-2 Next Generation activity
for ESA (European Space Agency) in the definition of Payload Data Ground Segment
requirements. Part of the project is to define the high-level communication architecture
and data flows with the Ground Segment.
In this project our deep knowledge of Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-3 payload data ground segment architectures and data processing workflows is a key asset.

Web service implementation and hosting
For the FH Potsdam we have re-implemented a data management and
presentation system for restoration activity using polymeres (POLYKON).
The project consisted of data migration, service re-implementation with
the development of additional functionality.
We are hosting the developed system in our high availability cluster and provide maintenance and continuous technical support.

Drupal service hosting
We have been chosen by the Umweltbundesamt to host their
web platform for the Roundtable on Marine Litter (https://www.muell-im-meer.de).
The Web platform informs the public on actions and policies around pollution
avoidance and provides the members of the round table a platform to share
and coordinate their activities.
Next to the hosting in our high available cluster and ensure the save operation of the platform. Additionally we provide technical support where needed.
