Rezatec

Rezatec is a UK-based geospatial AI company that offers a forest spatial analysis technology (SAT) AI solution, which harnesses satellites, other data feeds, and AI to remotely monitor ground-based assets and critical infrastructure.

Rezatec offers geospatial analytics solutions using optical and radar satellite data, ground sensors, and AI for industries like forestry, agriculture, and more. Its geospatial platform claims benefits: 41% more data coverage, 90% greater accuracy, 40% improved cost efficiency, and complete species mapping compared to traditional methods.

The company’s forest management services use this solution to provide clients with forest inventory , carbon stock analysis , and mill optimization . Rezatec’s geospatial AI is able to scan entire forests at an individual tree level and offer continuous data on height, count, volume and species distribution for forest inventory. It is also able to track changes in biomass and carbon stock to assess and plan for deforestation and regeneration activities. Further, the company’s mill optimization solution analyzes the ideal species mix, log, and optimum supply area to reduce haulage costs and excess inventory.

Rezatec also offers forest monitoring services that tracks forest health , disturbance , post-fire risks , and brushing . The company remotely monitors the health of forests and identifies pest and disease outbreaks, the extent of its spread, and models the risk of further spread. Similarly, it tracks storm damage and evaluates post-fire risks to identify the severity, the likelihood of fires resurfacing and to identify salvageable timber. Rezatec’s forest-brushing product remotely analyzes young tree growth within forests to optimize when and where to carry out silviculture activities.
