An article about the cooperation between AS Datel and P. P. Projekt was published in the Äripäev construction news portal Ehitusuudised.ee.  Knowledge of big data analysis, on the one hand, and technical know-how on the other. 

According to Aimo Kõva, Business Development Manager at Datel, an engineer can go back in time to 2016 based on the data processing of the images collected by the Sentinel-1.  “Collecting a similar amount of data, for example, geodetically, using drones, LIDAR or other similar applications is not rational from the viewpoints of time or cost efficiency,” Kõva explained. 

According to Richard Viies, Head of the Construction Audit Division of P.P. Projekt, the combining of satellite research enables users to obtain preliminary information at a reasonable cost when planning a project by analyzing the surface geometry, and the effect of seasons, surrounding constructions, and demolitions.  Read more (in Estonian)

27-28 April 2021, our Business Development Manager Aimo Kõva presents SILLE.space at the MiningTech World virtual event. How to cope with health& safety and environmental regulation high demands, a lack of skilled labor, and increased operating costs in the mining industry?
We can help with remote monitoring solutions. In addition to identifying if surrounding construction, mining, or geological subsidence has caused a deformation or structural weaknesses, our service SILLE.space also allows users to develop a timeline for existing subsidence-related issues, including data that land or structural deformities pre-existed construction or mining work.
Sille’s data can bolster transparency in the mining industry by assessing the land and surrounding structures before and after mining to detect possible movement. This data can also be used as evidence to show that mining has in fact not caused any damages.

Estonian e-construction 3D twin, developed by AS Datel, includes three-dimensional models of buildings throughout Estonia. The ground elevation model and 3D models of buildings used in 3D twin are created by the Land Board.
This digital tool is especially helpful for the real estate and construction sectors, but can also provide important information to, for example, a private individual purchasing a house.
The new digital tool allows a look at what a building would look like in the existing environment, what restrictions should be considered when designing the building, and how shadows will affect the building. 

The Estonian IT company Datel has conducted a study into technological options for creating a research archive of heliophysics data collected during the Solar Orbiter mission of the European Space Agency (ESA).  Engineers from Estonia assessed 10 database technologies designed for recording time series, four of them in more detail.

"Hämarik appeared silent before, but we were able to send commands to the satellite with more amplified antennas and Hämarik started communicating. The main radio does not appear to be working, but the backup radio is talking and we have regular communication. The contact with the first satellite Koit is very weak and still early to tell how the satellite is doing or what exactly happened before", said Rauno Gordon, Space center manager at Tallinn University of Technology.

We shared the benefits of the Datelś Early Warning System SILLE at India´s 1st and largest smart exhibition for smart technologies.

More than 10 thousand Smart Technologies Professionals participated in Smartec India virtual expo.

On September 3rd Vega rocket carrying student satellite Hämarik launched from the space center at Kourou in French Guiana. 
For now, we know that the Vega rocket has reached orbit and Hämarik has separated from the rocket. 

The earliest launch opportunity is August, 17th. Hämarik is the second of two student satellites that the TalTech - Tallinn University of Technology, in cooperation with DATEL, will launch into orbit. The Koit (Dawn) satellite launched on July 5 last year with a rocket from Russia.

TalTech Satellites, Koit and Hämarik, are built to monitor the Earth from space, both satellites have two remote-sensing cameras, one for color (RGB) and the other for near-infrared (NIR).
The Vega rocket has over 40 small satellites onboard - most of them cube-satellites like satellites Koit and Hämarik.

Scope of certification: project management, development, implementation, training, maintenance, sales and rent of the solutions and services (including mission-critical) for information systems, information technology, data communication, and presentation techniques. ISO 27001 is the best-known international standard for an information security management system (ISMS). 

ITS Estonia delegation with Asse Hang from Datel introduced smart city solutions in the ITS Congress in Europe. ITS Congress in Europe is the largest event entirely dedicated to smart mobility and digitalization of transport is organized by ERTICO – ITS Europe. ITS Estonia was cooperating with Finnish colleagues from ITS Finland, to introduce solutions and products for organizations from the public and private sector.

Initially the students from the university planned to launch one satellite into orbit, but a prime opportunity recently arose for them to launch two. Datel is supporting TalTech’s Mektory Space Centre with calculation and presentation equipment and both satellites with software.

Driven by demanding environmental regulation, increased operating costs and a lack of skilled labour the European mining community are turning to digital technologies to boost productivity. The conference shared best practice and innovations from leading mines across Europe.

The data center named ESTHub helps technology companies obtain and process more quickly remote sensing data obtained from space. AS Datel uses remote sensing data collected by the Sentinel-1 satellite and disseminated via ESTHub, among others, in the new service Sille.  Via ESTHub we can get data about Estonia and the nearby region especially fast, which enables us to offer a service of particularly high quality. 

Sille gives you the power to see structural and surface deformation of any site on the planet, since 2014, from your browser. "The service, based on satellite data, helps prevent accidents caused by the disintegration of infrastructure, and its uses are very wide," explained ITL President Ivo Suursoo.
