Case Study · Technology Scouting
Scouting the sensors behind smarter operations.
A major oil and gas company wanted a quarterly technology report on smart detection and diagnostic technologies. Over 6 Intelligence Briefs, Prescouter profiled 22 technologies across five chip and sensor categories and recommended 5 for further collaboration.
The Client
The client is a major oil and gas company with upstream and downstream operations worldwide. It wanted technologies it could deploy, invest in, develop, pilot or commercialize.
The Challenge
Many emerging sensors.
Pick the few that matter.
The client needed to identify and down-select 20 to 25 high-value smart detection and diagnostic technologies, in a report it could share across the organization to inform operational and venture capital decisions.
