SCCON Geospatial receives certification in the Planet Orbit Certification Program

SCCON Geospatial, a Brazilian geospatial technology company, received certification in the Planet Orbit Certificate Program, from Planet Labs, being the second company in the world to receive this certificate. Planet is a leading provider of daily, global satellite imagery and geospatial solutions.

The newly announced program acts as a seal of approval, indicating that the Brazilian company offers robust applications and services that are ready to operate on a global scale.

As a solutions provider, SCCON will be able to commercialize its solutions on a global scale, and will work with Planet to develop the best strategies for international expansion using the SCCON Platform.

"The certification is a strengthening of the brand and the SCCON Platform, and opens new paths and opportunities for international partnerships within the Planet network. We are eager and prepared to scale our platforms and take our products and solutions around the world. Our solution for detection of changes in vegetation cover is well consolidated and fully scalable for other tropical forest countries, mainly", explains Murilo Oliveira, Director of Product and Solutions Development at SCCON Geoespacial.

"SCCON's platform is robust and offers many applications such as defense, forest monitoring, city growth, among others", comments Ricardo Sahagun, business manager at Planet LATAM.

“Our goal is to scale beyond Brazil, so that our platform provides service anywhere in the world, and with Planet certification this will become possible. Through the partnership with Planet, we will take our solutions to several countries, in order to demonstrate the ability to use daily images for the most diverse environmental, agricultural and agricultural applications, with the experience and performance that we have already developed here”, adds Iara Musse Felix, CEO of SCCON.

Recently, SCCON was also recognized as Planet's Partner of the Year, among more than 100 Planet partners. SCCON Geospatial has been in partnership with Planet since 2016, through the use of Planet satellite images, which help monitor deforestation, environmental degradation, fires, mining, among other processes of this type. The big difference in SCCON's solution is the Web Platform with numerous resources for analyzing the project area, including the availability of daily Planet images ready for use, within 24 hours of capture.

With almost 200 satellites in orbit, Planet is capable of revisiting the entire national territory, almost daily with the high-resolution sensor. This ensures complete images with the lowest levels of cloud cover and detailed monitoring of changes. SCCON's platform also provides automated analytical reporting and other information to support spatial analysis of alerts.

SCCON has a portfolio of services and solutions in geospatial technology for the private, public and non-governmental sectors, operating in different business segments: environment, agriculture, forestry, energy, public security, infrastructure, mining, among others. As a Planet certified partner, SCCON can take the solutions and technology already used in Brazil to its customers abroad.
