SuperVision Earth - Preventing Pipeline Incidents with Satellite Monitoring. Enhancing the safety of asset infrastructure. Continuous risk assessment using geospatial imagery combined with AI.

SuperVision Earth provides a satellite-based monitoring solution for environmental and industrial applications, headquartered in Darmstadt, Germany. The company was founded in 2018 by Karsten Wiertz, Sebastian Bussmann, and Jan Kolmas after they met at an ESA hackathon. The founding team shares a passion for leveraging geospatial data to solve real-world problems. The company's core offering is the SuperVision Pipeline (SVP), a monitoring solution that uses proprietary AI algorithms to analyze satellite and drone data. This system is designed to detect and report on various risks to critical infrastructure, such as unauthorized construction, geohazards, or agricultural activity near pipelines. It serves as a digital alternative to traditional helicopter monitoring, providing clients with dashboards, reports, and real-time alerts to enable data-driven decisions. The platform combines satellite imagery with optional drone surveillance, using advanced AI to process the data and identify anomalies. This approach is noted to be 99% more carbon-efficient than conventional helicopter methods. SuperVision Earth's primary clients are operators of critical infrastructure, like transmission system operators. After a development phase with support from the European Space Agency (ESA) and pilot customers, the pipeline monitoring solution became its first market-ready product, and the company secured a long-term contract with a major German pipeline operator in January 2024. In addition to pipeline monitoring, SuperVision Earth is expanding into other markets with its geospatial information platform and offers solutions for EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) compliance. The company has received grant funding from Copernicus Incubation.
