Real-world Applications
For over a decade, GSE has been providing custom solutions to some incredibly difficult engineering challenges for its clients. In doing so, GSE has learned how to adapt tools, hardware, and technology to suit the needs of a number of different clients and their vastly different industries.
Additionally, GSatTrack, GSE’s flagship software product powering many of these solutions, has been developed in an attempt to bring together all available data gathering options. With each of its unique challenges, GSE and GSatTrack grew to accommodate new hardware, improve reporting options, process inbound data differently, and operate new, complex automations.
Whenever possible, GSE likes to share these challenge scenarios and its solutions publicly in order to provide insight for other organizations struggling with the same problems, to source opportunities to work with new and exciting clients from adjacent sectors, and to provide some thought leadership in an industry that is characterized by its slow growth, but strong thirst for innovation.
Recently, GSE has even begun working with major network provider partners, and some of its case studies have been published with them in order to reach a broader audience. If you have interest in re-publishing a GSE case study to your website, blog, or media outlet, please contact us so that we can determine the best way to work together.
Sample Case Studies
Case studies demonstrating the power of GSatTrack to solve complex industry challenges
Ranching Intelligence with West Sky Technology
When Global Satellite Engineering began working on the GSatSolar, we knew the technological pieces required to deliver a solar unit in a small form factor. Considering our own CEO Jeff Palmer had been a member of 4H in his youth, and still enjoys sharing stories of his successes at cattle competitions, we knew that...
Snow Removal Management
Winter is creeping its way upon us, and brings with it snow in 70% of the United States. Snow depth measuring is a very analog process involving no more than a snow stake in the ground and someone to read it via camera or in person. In theory that’s a solid way to gauge the snow, but in reality, there are...
Snow Season Telematics
Every year, snowfall accumulates on over 3 million acres of North America, covering nearly 70% of its population in snow. The effects of this precipitation impact the US with nearly 76,000 people injured in traffic accidents each year. In Canada, 30% of all automobile accidents are specifically attributed to...
GSatTrack and satellite-based systems aid wildfire prevention tactics
In the spring of 2019, I wrote a case study on how monitoring chipper data and harvesting forest fuel could reduce forest fires. Little did I know during the next 18 months the world would see catastrophic fires across the globe. In August of 2019 the Amazon was seeing over 1000 fires a day. By January of 2020,...
GSatTrack Keeps Families Safe
In today’s world where everyone is connected, it is easy to find ourselves placing free apps on our phones to let our family know where we are at all times. We may even download a free app offered by our network for added security. The truth however is that these apps are rarely free and offer little in the...
Construction Companies use GSatTrack for BIM
Most GIS systems incorporate mapping imagery or layers is by purchasing licenses from a single mapping provider. This provider may also offer additional historical satellite imagery for use by the GIS provider, but the images provided may be antiquated or out of date, with recent construction or natural events...
GSatTrack and Forestry Telematics
In the summer of 2000, fire destroyed millions of acres of forest across the United States. In response, M. Chad Bolding, a Graduate Research Assistant, and Associate Professor Dr. Bobby L. Lanford at the School of Forestry and Wildlife Sciences of Auburn University performed a study to investigate the feasibility...
GSatTrack Supports Man Down Features for Lone Workers
These case studies often begin with statistical data that shows a clearly defined pain point in a certain industry GSE has helped in the past. In the case of lone worker and man-down instances, however, the need to show numbers or percentages to convince anyone that a triggered SOS button is important seems...
