This paper introduces a method for flow monitoring through various supply lines by implementing a mathematical function, majority of which is dependent on standard deviation. Instead of including various sensors and numerous complex electrical connections which is still the common way to measure and monitor leakage or flow, this project just uses flow measuring sensor to collect data and process the data in such a way that actually focuses on user conditions and takes regular variation of flow into account and modifies its monitoring protocols regularly. The other systems in this sector implies various sensors to accurately detect leakage which is good but those systems lack the ability to collect, process and store regular data related to the supply line. For this reason, users often have to handle two different systems simultaneously, one to monitor leakage and the another for regular data collection regarding supply. To reduce that effort and cost, this system includes both flow measurement, data storing and monitoring as well as keeps an eye whether the flow is regular or there is any leakage or illegal line taken out. In the field of commercial distribution of oil and water, leakage and unauthorized or illegal supply is one of the main issues to be considered. Yet now, not many systems has been developed to prevent or monitor such losses. We have developed a system to monitor and locate line leakage, illegal supply lines and faulty supply lines in a much swift and simpler way which is cost effective too.
