Imagine discovering groundbreaking tech at a barber shop—that’s exactly how Perceptive Sensor Inc. was born! Jim Paladino, Earl Crochet, and Jim Heim are here to share how their acoustic fingerprinting sensors, originally made for military and drug enforcement, are now shaking things up in oil and gas. This non-invasive tech can identify and track fluids in pipelines and tanks without ever touching them, solving the industry’s costly and often inaccurate tracking challenges. From enhancing efficiency in Downstream and Upstream sectors to the potential of digital fluid manifests, this tech could redefine fluid tracking, not just in oil and gas but in industries like chemicals, food processing, and logistics. With decades of expertise, these guys are showing us a future where real-time fluid analysis is accurate, efficient, and adaptable across multiple fields.
