Abstract

The present invention relates to a satellite information-based supply chain monitoring solution for stockpiled goods. The present invention may include the steps of: receiving satellite images through a communication unit; identifying at least one stockpiled item included in the satellite images using an artificial intelligence model that has learned spectral information for each type of stockpiled item; estimating the weight of the stockpiled item identified in the satellite images based on a weight estimation algorithm; mapping at least a portion of the satellite images, information on the time of taking the satellite images, information on the type of stockpiled item identified in the satellite images, and weight information, and storing this in a DB as stockpiled item volume information; and providing a monitoring screen to a user terminal using stockpiled item volume information corresponding to different time points.

Description

Method and System for Monitoring the Supply Chain of Stockpiled Materials Based on Satellite Information The present invention relates to a satellite information-based supply chain monitoring solution for stockpiled goods. Recently, due to advancements in satellite technology, the use of satellites is becoming increasingly important in fields such as Earth observation, weather forecasting, and communications. Through sensors and cameras, satellites can collect various forms of data, including high-definition images and video, geographical information, and environmental data. With the advancement of such satellite technology, it has become possible to monitor the volume of various stockpiled goods, such as forest changes, the degree of urbanization, and the status of building construction and expansion in areas of interest, using satellite imagery. Meanwhile, since Japan became the first in the world to launch futures trading for stockpiled goods in 2005, stockpiled goods have become an important investment product in the global financial investment industry. As demand for base metals increased due to China's economic growth, the value of stockpiled goods also soared. However, because it is more difficult to secure a continuous supply of stockpiled goods than for base metals, their prices are highly volatile. Consequently, from an investor's perspective, this makes it a product with high investment risk. Consequently, there is a need for a solution to reduce the uncertainty of futures trading for stockpiled goods.
