Google ADK Multimodal Flowmeter Diagnostics Agent with Gemini

Industrial flowmeter calibration drifts cause costly billing errors and mass balance discrepancies in process plants. Construct a multimodal diagnostic agent using Google ADK and Gemini to parse acoustic sensor signals, camera readings, and flow rate logs. The agent must accurately identify 95% of calibration anomalies and issue corrective valve actions.
