Watch Now FAQ How does Wherobots handle petabyte-scale satellite imagery archives? Wherobots leverages a modern data lakehouse architecture built on Apache Iceberg and cloud object storage. Your satellite imagery stays in cost-effective cloud storage while WherobotsDB provides distributed query processing for geospatial operations. The platform scales automatically to handle queries across petabytes of satellite data, and you only pay for compute when processing jobs run. What are the typical deployment options for Wherobots for aerospace companies? We deploy as a managed cloud service. But we also have options for bring-your-own-cloud and VPC. Can Wherobots process both raster imagery and vector geospatial data? Yes. Wherobots provides unified support for both raster and vector geospatial data in a single platform. WherobotsDB includes over 300 spatial functions covering geometry operations, raster analytics, and spatial joins. You can combine vector map data with satellite imagery and Earth observation analysis in the same SQL query or Python workflow, eliminating the need for multiple specialized tools. How does WherobotsAI help with satellite imagery analysis? WherobotsAI provides a “bring your own model” inference engine that runs computer vision models on satellite imagery and Earth observation data at scale. You can perform object detection, semantic segmentation, and classification directly from SQL or Python without managing GPU clusters. For example, you can write a query to detect buildings, roads, or land cover types across millions of satellite images for geospatial intelligence, and Wherobots handles distributed model inference automatically. What makes Wherobots faster than traditional aerospace and Earth observation processing pipelines? Wherobots incorporates multiple performance optimizations: proprietary spatial indexing techniques, query optimization for geospatial operations, distributed parallel processing, and efficient I/O with cloud storage. These deliver up to 20x faster execution compared to processing the same workloads with general-purpose data platforms. Faster satellite imagery processing means quicker time-to-insight and lower compute costs. Does Wherobots work with our existing aerospace data infrastructure? Yes. Wherobots integrates with cloud data platforms including AWS, and can connect to data warehouses like Snowflake and Databricks. The platform is built on Apache Sedona APIs, providing compatibility with standard geospatial workflows. You can start with a subset of your data for pilot projects while keeping existing systems operational. Get started Ready to transform your aerospace workflows? Request Demo
