Manufacturo and Pixxel Partner to Modernise Satellite Production and Traceability

BREA, Calif., May 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Manufacturo, a next-generation manufacturing management system for complex production environments, has been selected by space technology company Pixxel to support the build and scale of its hyperspectral imaging satellite constellation. The implementation enables Pixxel to move away from disconnected spreadsheets and manual processes, creating a foundation for high-quality, traceable, and production-ready workflows.

Pixxel, which recently launched its first commercial satellites, uses proprietary hyperspectral sensors to collect data across hundreds of spectral bands, enabling applications ranging from climate monitoring to precision agriculture. Pixxel is using Manufacturo to streamline and standardize its build process to meet increasing demand and uphold rigorous production standards.

"Pixxel is pioneering a bold new standard for satellite intelligence — and that demands an equally advanced approach to production. Their choice to move off spreadsheets and fragmented systems is a strategic one, and we're proud to be building alongside them. With Manufacturo, they can orchestrate production with precision, connect digital threads across locations, and maintain full auditability as they scale globally," said Miroslaw Baran, Project Manager, Manufacturo.

"As we scale our hyperspectral satellite constellation, our operational complexity is increasing rapidly," said Kshitij Khandelwal, Co-founder and CTO, Pixxel. "Manufacturo's platform gives our engineering and production teams the flexibility to build efficiently, while ensuring every component is traceable, every step is recorded, and every mission meets our exacting quality standards. This partnership is critical to our next phase of growth."

Pixxel's engineering and production teams began with a structured pilot program, including a dedicated sandbox environment and hands-on training, before fully transitioning to Manufacturo's platform in April 2025. The implementation spans production and quality operations at Pixxel's facility in India, with potential integration into SAP and future expansion plans.

About Pixxel

Pixxel is a space data company and spacecraft manufacturer redefining Earth observation with hyperspectral imaging. With the successful launch of its first three commercial hyperspectral satellites, Fireflies, Pixxel is building a constellation of 18-24 satellites designed for a daily revisit frequency anywhere on Earth. This constellation will deliver the world's highest-resolution hyperspectral imagery, enabling industries to detect, monitor, and predict critical global phenomena across agriculture, oil and gas, mining, environment, and other sectors with 5m resolution and 50x richer detail than conventional satellites.

Beyond Earth observation, Pixxel also manufactures satellites, advancing cutting-edge spacecraft technology for various applications. Aurora by Pixxel is an in-house Earth Observation Studio that helps users seamlessly analyze satellite imagery, making hyperspectral data more accessible and actionable.

Pixxel has raised $95 million from M&G Catalyst, Glade Brook Capital Partners, Aditya Birla Ventures, Google, Lightspeed, Radical Ventures and others.
