The Complete River Intelligence Platform

Purpose-built for industrial logistics, RiverSat provides chemical producers, steel manufacturers, power generators, and barge operators with the forecasting precision needed to secure supplies, lock in transport, and maintain operations during low-water events. No hydrology expertise required.

  • AI-Driven River Level Forecasting
    RiverSat's advanced machine learning models forecast actual river levels at each gauge station—not streamflow proxies—delivering operational certainty for barge transport planning with ±1 day accuracy for minimum water level prediction.

  • Industry-Leading 28-Day Visibility
    Built on multiple weather data sources and cutting-edge AI, RiverSat provides reliable 28-day forecasts while competitors struggle with 10-day limits. This extended visibility transforms strategic planning from reactive to proactive.

  • Built by a Proven Team of Experts
    Developed by EarthDaily Analytics' forecasting team, RiverSat applies the same rigorous AI/ML methodology that powers agricultural intelligence for global commodity markets—now optimized for industrial logistics and low-water event prediction.

FAQs

Built for operational environments where every change matters and every hour counts.

EarthDaily's sensors capture data beyond the visible spectrum, reveaRiverSat is operational on the Rhine River with coverage at five critical gauge stations: Maxau, Kaub, Cologne, Duisburg-Ruhrort, and Emmerich. Coverage for Upper Mississippi River with stations at St. Paul, MN; Winona, MN; Camanche, IA; and Grafton, IL. Expansion to the Thames River system is planned for 2026.
ling concealed activities invisible to standard imagery. Multispectral data enables detection of camouflaged structures through spectral signature analysis, identification of materials and surface characteristics, and discovery of environmental disturbances that indicate human activity even when visual changes are minimal.
RiverSat achieves ±1 day accuracy for predicting the actual date of minimum water levels. This precision enables confident operational planning for time-critical logistics and procurement decisions.
Public services typically forecast streamflow (requiring conversion to river levels) with 10-day accuracy limits. RiverSat forecasts actual river levels at specific gauge stations with 28-day reliable horizons using ML models optimized specifically for low-water events.

Yes. RiverSat provides RESTful API access in addition to CSV data exports for seamless integration with procurement, logistics, and ERP systems. Technical documentation and integration support are included.
RiverSat provides up to 20 years (1995-present) of cleansed, normalized historical data for each gauge station, enabling trend analysis, seasonal benchmarking, and validation of current season forecasts against historical patterns.
Forecasts are updated daily at approximately 10:00 AM CET and leverage the most recently released ensemble weather forecasts. Current river level values are refreshed every 15 minutes in the application (and API) providing users with near real-time logistics intelligence.
RiverSat tracks forecast evolution and can alert users when significant changes occur in predicted minimum levels or timing. This enables dynamic adjustment of procurement and logistics strategies as conditions evolve.
No. RiverSat's ML models are specifically optimized for low-water event prediction—the scenarios that devastate industrial logistics. For flood forecasting, alternative specialized systems are more appropriate.
