2. Vision
The company vision is based on the new frontiers opened by many kind of devices, especially imaging systems,
in providing data to be analysed, fused and elaborated according to physical modelling, artificial intelligence and
machine learning methods.
The aggregated knowledge becomes cognition when the system is able to solve and think on this basis, finally
providing a prediction for supporting decision making.
This is common to many application fields and Flyby is focusing on these cognitive processes from data to decisions,
offering high-value solutions especially in Defence & Security, Healthcare and Energy sectors where big data
analytics methodologies running on a basis of heterogeneous data are mainly required.
Flyby’s solutions are designed to support a final
decision: in Flyby we start from data and, by
means of our expertise, we supply solutions in
different market fields bringing a piece of future
in the present.

Data is raw, it hasn’t meaning by itself.
Information is data that acquired meaning by
means of relational connections. This “meaning”
could be useful or not.
Knowledge is an appropriate collection of useful
information.
Cognition is the capability to understand the
knowledge.
Decision is an extrapolative, non-deterministic
and non-probabilistic process. It relies on all the
previous levels of situation awareness for the
implementation of optimal control / actions.

3. Strategy
Flyby’s strategy consists in a plan for growing on three different aspects:
• Become the excellence in the cognitive processes/capabilities management with a continuous investment
in R&D and partnerships with the leading edge of the research organizations at global level.
• Differentiate ourselves from competitors by building up a reputation thanks to the capability to learn from the
multi-disciplinary fields in which the Company group is active by exploiting an open-innovation approach.
• Develop a new digital communication and marketing approach for business development, allowing customers to
trust in the company solutions by indirect quotations of leader customers.

All Flyby’s Strategic Business Units derive from company’s
expertise in the Space sector. Since 2003 Flyby has started to work
directly with the European Space Agency (ESA) and since 2005
with the Italian Space Agency (ASI).
Flyby developed several added value downstream services of
remote sensing for the Agencies, where the knowledge of satellite
sensors and the capability to process /analyse data is a key element.
In the last years Flyby also performed for the Agencies several projects where Telecommunication satellites and the
GNSS system had an important role.
Moreover the Space team has been involved as subcontractor by large companies in the development of components
for Level 1 and Level 2 ground processors of space optical sensors.

ESA (European Space Agency)
Flyby has been involved in many projects funded by ESA, also as prime contractor. The typical aim of such projects
has been to setup valuable information products exploiting EO satellite data provided by ESA/EUMETSAT/
Copernicus in order to satisfy the needs of end-users (e.g. big companies). End-users may benefit from the adoption
of such products in their routine processes and may then decide to purchase them. All such projects have been
completed successfully.
ASI (Italian Space Agency)
Flyby delivered to ASI and installed in the Space Geodesy Centre of Matera (Italy) a stand-alone SW program for
the detection and classification of oil slicks at sea. The SW processes ESA and NASA EO satellite optical imagery
with the aim to report the detected slick features to the Italian Ministry of the Environment. The oil slick detection
reliability was validated by in-situ inspection performed by a boat.

FishSat Strategic Business Unit is a joint venture company
controlled by Flyby. The joint venture is owned by Flyby (60%)
and PxL (40%).
FishSat has been founded in 2016 following two ESA founded
projects: FishSAT and i-FishSAT.
The FishSat SBU supplies integrated services that interconnects,
from end to end, the fisheries production and commercial (value) chain, thus transforming the seafood trade in
Europe from a local activity to a cohesive continent–wide activity featuring more balanced markets and more
stable prices for fresh seafood. Its services are mainly focused on the coastal waters of the Mediterranean sea
addressing issues such as improvement in product traceability, security aimed to reducing illegal unregulated
fishing activities and productivity estimation services for sustainable fisheries management.

Since 2005 the i-EM Strategic Business Unit has been dedicated
to energy management solutions for renewable energy projects.
In 2012 i-EM became a joint venture Large Corporation and it’s
owned and controlled by Flyby (70%) and Enel (30%).
i-EM won the EnelLab 2013 competition for the most innovative
start-up in the energy field .
Public and private players require expertise in innovation, reliability and risk minimization in the
following areas:
• Distributed generation from renewable sources;
• Smart grids and energy storage systems;
• Energy efficiency, control and optimization of energy consumption;
• Electric vehicles and sustainable mobility.
i-EM has a multi-disciplinary expertise combined with passion for technology innovation and for the
preservation of Earth’s energy resources.
The whole i-EM’s infrastructure has been developed following the philosophy of Business Intelligence (BI) in
order to transform data into knowledge and provide decision support systems.
The success of this implementation is the use of techniques for historicizing, analysing and presenting data in
order to support decision making in energy management.
The i-EM’s Business Intelligence technology consists of three layers: the data layer, the analysis layer
26
and the presentation layer.
i-EM exploits Big Data Analytics systems to manage all the information acquired and processed (georeferenced
within i-EM’s spatial database).
i-EM’s services run on a IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) infrastructure with the following features:
• Scalability and adaptability to customer needs;
• High reliability (SLA of 99.9%, high performances guaranteed for the provision of services);
• Redundancy (distributed architecture in the cloud across multiple servers worldwide).
