Computerized sensors and automation helps industry to get better accuracy and throughput. Aim of thisproposed system is digitization of fluid flow rate measuring device called Rotameter. In market for different fluidsdifferent rotameters are available and this system is able to support them independent of its fluid. It uses BeagleBoneBlack (BBBlack) or ORANGEPI 2G-IOT a tiny computer for all its computation needs and a camera device as an eye ofthe computerized sensor to read the rotameter. Application code is entirely written in C++ with Qt for GUI andOpenCV for camera handling. This system gives real-time measurement and it is more accurate than human measuring.It requires one time calibration to detect rotameter. This system is highly modular and scalable. Currently system isdesigned to consider one rotameter at a time but with little modification system can be easily extended to centralizedsystem with multiple rotameters and cameras.
