Case Study: OroraTech achieves global wildfire monitoring with Google Cloud Platform

OroraTech Protecting Earth's forests from space with Google Cloud

OroraTech, a Germany-based wildfire intelligence company, needed a reliable global infrastructure to support its satellite-powered Wildfire Solution, which helps governments, NGOs, and local authorities detect fires early and monitor forests in real time. Using Google Cloud Platform, OroraTech aimed to improve availability, scale internationally, and meet strict data security requirements while continuing to grow its space-based monitoring service.

Google Cloud Platform helped OroraTech migrate its customer-facing core infrastructure to the cloud in just one month with minimal downtime. The solution delivered high availability and reliability, enabled ML model training with Vertex AI for faster wildfire detection, and reduced infrastructure overhead so the team could focus on product innovation. Google Cloud Platform reports that the solution now helps protect 1.6 million km² of forest, and OroraTech said it experienced zero outages or infrastructure-related incidents in the past year.
