They\u2019re developing buildings that are going to be only in place in a few years, if not decades and hypothetically operational for decades to come.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You\u2019re looking at a property to ultimately build something on, and you want to make sure it\u2019s going to be around for the next few decades.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, if you are trying to build a commercial real estate development on Miami Beach, how do you know that Miami Beach coastline will be the same in 10 years time as it is today?<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a commercial real estate developer, you\u2019d want to know that your facility is safe for the next X number of years.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you look at something like coastal erosion, which is easily able to be monitored via <a href=\"https:\/\/starpath.global\/products\/imagery\">satellite imagery<\/a>, you could be able to get a good sense as to what your location will look like in 5, 10, 20 years time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We have many customers monitoring coastal erosion across the globe to understand the impact of climate change and ultimately, from a commercial real estate developers perspective how it would affect their bottom line.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The investment community is always looking for a competitive edge and <a href=\"https:\/\/starpath.global\/products\/imagery\">satellite imagery<\/a> can actually offer that in space.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lumber Production, Livestock Tracking and Electric Vehicles<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the most interesting applications is in something like lumber where you would be able to track specific lumber production across various mills in North America.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We saw this be particularly apparent in 2021 with the influx of lumber pricing and we actually had a lot of customers coming onto the platform for that specific use case<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These types of use cases are able to give investors a competitive edge when they\u2019re looking at public markets.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Electric vehicle production is another interesting use case where people can see the week by week progression on, say, Tesla factories producing Tesla vehicles.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What this gives a sense of is the downstream implications for that production and how that would influence something like Tesla stock price.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/starpath.global\/products\/imagery\">Satellite imagery<\/a> can be used to track a wide range of commodities and production facilities.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Global Supply Chain Monitoring<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another area being disrupted by <a href=\"https:\/\/starpath.global\/products\/imagery\">satellite imagery<\/a> is the global supply chain.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What we can do with satellite imagery is monitor each individual part of the supply chain and better understand how it\u2019s functioning.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As an example in 2021 there was a significant number of ships outside Long Beach port.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We had an influx of customers asking for data to count the ships to understand how many ships are there, trying to get access to trucks and offload their goods.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These are just a few of the examples of how customers are leveraging observation data.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is an infinite number of possibilities, and ultimately, what we want to enable here at STARPATH GLOBAL is for you to look at the Earth a little bit differently from space.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Commercial Real Estate Investments Commercial real estate developers are looking at long time horizons.
