Exploring Satellite Data and Utilizing it for Business.

Rice growth management and its branding support

Managing large farmland everyday is a laborious task of farmers. By analyzing growth situations of crops from satellite data and meteorological data, and “visualizing” farmland information, we support reduction in inspection time and cost of pesticide/fertilizer use, stabilization of quality, and improvement of productivity.
Moreover, by integrating information that the farmers enter, we can provide highly reliable information for each farmland.

These services are used for instance in Funagata, Yamaguchi Prefecture, and Tanaka Industry Co. Ltd. in Joetsu, Niigata Prefecture.

Reducing workload of municipalities with satellite data

Satellite data can be applied to a variety of fields. For example, the government conducts a survey of farmland once or twice a year, which requires an enormous amount of labor for field surveys and subsequent work.　In addition, farmers tend to own farmland in several different locations, which makes their farming less efficient.
Therefore, there is a desire to consolidate farmland. We can provide assistance based on satellite data analysis to address these issues.

Approach to a global environmental problem.

Satellite data are also used in addressing global problems such as plastic waste in ocean and river pollution. JAMSS is using satellite imagery to visualize plastic waste for its policy usage.
In future, we will be examining how to expand it to the cities surrounding the demonstration area, and eventually to the whole world.

Training digital staff using space as an entry point.

DX is being promoted around the world, and therefore, demand for digital staff continues to increase. In Japan, personnel training through STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) education has also started. However, this is not limited to students. As this has become the official government policy, digital staff training among primary industrial workers and municipal staff is also becoming an urgent task. Utilizing our astronaut training techniques, JAMSS is conducting training of digital staff, whose entry points are space and agriculture, to students, satellite data users, and municipalities.
