Percepta Spirits: Barrel Proof Technologies

Precision Meets Tradition

  • Spirits Monitoring

    Barrel-aged spirits are built on patience, process, and product integrity. But inside the rickhouse, data has always been missing — until now.

    Percepta delivers real-time, non-invasive insight into whiskey, tequila, rum, and other aging spirits. From proof to fill level, our patented radar and dielectric sensing technologies bring precision monitoring to an industry built on legacy.

  • What We Measure

    Track volume and loss barrel by barrel.

    Monitor alcohol concentration over time without breaching the barrel.

    Model how aging is progressing with AI-driven predictions

    Reduce waste and preserve revenue by catching anomalies early

  • Our Technology

    Radar-Based Fill Sensing — Accurately detects liquid level using FMCW radar

    Dielectric-Based Proof Estimation — Measures ethanol concentration through container walls

    AI & Environment Modeling — Combines temperature, humidity, and volume trends to forecast readiness

    Compliance Logging — Automated audit trails and TTB-ready reporting
