Tathya

Tathya specializes in developing tools to monitor commodities supply chains on a near real-time basis. The company leverages proprietary deep learning algorithms, developed in collaboration with leading academia, and remote sensing technology on alternative datasets such as satellite imagery and maritime data. Tathya provides a Hot Metal Production Index (Pig Iron) for major global steel producers and an Inventory Index that tracks iron ore and coal inventory at major ports worldwide. Additionally, the company offers an Iron ore/Coal Mining Index across major mines globally, using machine learning and computer vision technologies for near real-time insights on key economic indicators. Tathya explores critical areas such as coal and thermal power generation, GHG emissions, and agriculture monitoring, tracking inventory changes at major ports, mills, and mines worldwide. The company aims to bridge gaps in supply and demand, bringing transparency to iron ore and coal pricing through advanced computer vision algorithms applied to low-cost medium resolution satellite images. Tathya covers major iron ore and coal mines and ports in Australia, Brazil, China, and India, updating data near real-time to provide an edge to customers in the financial and hedging world. The datasets include inventory change analysis, which can be filtered at port, region, and country levels. Tathya’s Hot Metal Production Index covers major steel mills worldwide, using satellite images and maritime flow of raw materials to provide holistic insights into steel production. The company provides near real-time and unbiased steel production data at a mill or company level, covering major steel-producing geographies such as China, India, Japan, and South Korea. Data is updated weekly and monthly with a lag of 3 months. Tathya uses advanced machine learning leveraging thermal properties captured in certain bands of satellite images to determine hot metal production. The Iron Ore Inventory Index is based on the area occupied by iron ore stockpiles at ports, and a similar methodology is used for the Coal Inventory Index. Tathya has also developed a Mining Activity Index to measure mining trends in major mines worldwide, using the latest SAR technology to measure changes in the earth’s surface caused by mining activity and build 3D surface maps of mine areas.
