Flow sensors play an important role in industrial systems by monitoring fluid movement within pipelines to provide stability and detect anomalies such as leaks, blockages or irregular pressure variations. Traditional flow monitoring methods rely on threshold-based detection, which may fail to capture subtle deviations that indicate potential failures. Real-time pattern classification can improve flow monitoring by integrating machine learning with Edge Impulse, allowing early anomaly detection and predictive maintenance.

This application note shows how to implement a flow anomaly detection system using the Portenta X8, a flow sensor and an Edge Impulse trained machine learning model deployed within a Docker container. The system will capture flow rate data, process it using the trained model and classify flow conditions.
