High acquisition cost
High resolution imagery, frequent updates and specialist processing can make a simple data request expensive.
Platform overview
A cloud platform for satellite and environmental data.
Arche Zero helps organisations find suitable sources, prepare geospatial data and deliver it through APIs, streams, files and asset views.
ABOUT ARCHE ZERO
Find, prepare and deliver Earth data.
Arche Zero is for organisations that need geospatial evidence but do not want every project to begin with a new search, manual download and custom integration.
Satellite, climate and hazard data is spread across public catalogues, commercial providers, research institutions and internal systems. Each source can use different formats, spatial resolutions, time periods, licences and update methods.
Teams can select suitable sources, match time and geography, keep the details needed to interpret the result, and move the output into models, dashboards, alerts or existing systems.
Scattered sources
Records sit across public catalogues, commercial providers, research projects and internal systems.
Uneven records
Formats, quality checks, licences and update methods differ from one provider to another.
Manual metadata
Source dates and processing notes are often copied by hand, which makes errors harder to find later.
PATENTED METHOD
Match records by time before comparing them.
Satellite and sensor records often arrive at different times. Arche Zero uses patented time tagging and temporal synchronization to assign precise time information, line up related records and keep later changes attached to the source history.
Tag each record
Keep the capture time, source date and processing date with the data.
Match related records
Align satellite, sensor and asset records that cover the same period.
Keep the history
Record later updates so teams can see what changed and when.
PATENT GRANTED
The method supports carbon records, compliance work, emissions tracking and any task where the date of an observation matters.
PROCESS
How Arche Zero moves data from source to system.
Select
Choose satellite, sensor, open and commercial sources with clear usage terms.
Prepare
Match geography, timing and format through documented steps.
Compare
Create comparable layers, models, alerts and asset views.
Deliver
Send the result to people and systems through APIs, streams and files.
DELIVERABLES
Records prepared for the job at hand.
Prepared optical imagery for land, crop, asset and environmental review.
Radar records for work where cloud, smoke or darkness limits optical imagery.
Regular observations, change records and alerts for selected places and assets.
Historical and current records prepared for risk models and planning tools.
Location and event records prepared for exposure review and parametric products.
Source records for climate risk, adaptation and environmental reporting.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Work supported by Innovate UK.
Arche Zero received Innovate UK support for work with the University of Manchester on tracking changes to satellite and sensor data, detecting unauthorized use and maintaining the source history of changing records.

FREQUENTLY ASKED
Common questions about data, delivery and suitability.
What problem is Arche Zero solving?+
Earth observation data is spread across providers, formats, licences, time periods and specialist tools. Arche Zero reduces the work between finding a useful source and applying it to a decision.
How is Arche Zero different from a data marketplace?+
The catalogue is the starting point. Arche Zero also prepares the data and delivers it to a specific system or task.
How do I know whether a dataset is suitable?+
Each record makes its source, geography, time coverage, resolution, licence and intended use visible. Suitability still depends on the decision, which is why Arche Zero keeps those limits attached.
Who uses Earth data?+
Insurers, asset owners, governments, agriculture teams, logistics companies, researchers and technology teams use the data to study weather, land and environmental change.
