Concept scenario
Boiler Room Analog Gauge OCR Reading
Scenario record: it defines the environment, the mission flow and a proposed hardware and software configuration. The list below is a configuration proposal, not an installation inventory. Field projects lists deployed systems and their measurements.
- Environment
- Indoor, facility
- Operating mode
- Supervised autonomy
- Proposed robot
- Unitree B2
The problem addressed
The necessity of manual reading of non-digitalized equipment in old facilities by humans.
Draft mission flow
- 1Positioned sequentially in front of old-style analog gauges in the boiler room.
- 2Reads pointer positions with its optical camera and converts them into digital data with Edge AI.
- 3Warns the system when pressure/temperature limits are exceeded and saves data to the digital archive.
Proposed hardware
- 4K Optical Camera
- Pan-Tilt-Zoom (PTZ) Unit
- Lighting Module
Proposed software
- Navigation
- Autonomous routing in enclosed and complex machine rooms
- Model
- Analog Clock and Gauge Reading OCR Edge Model
- Integration
- IoT Platform and SCADA

Values are manufacturer data. Scenario fit is determined by comparing these limits with site conditions.
From scenario to installation
Feasibility is determined by the site survey: floor and route, network coverage, the charging point, intervention responsibilities and the conditions under which the robot must stop. The survey report defines the scope, the constraints and the commissioning steps.
