Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

MakeGPT

 



 

Context :

IIT Madras-incubated Kochadai Technologies launches MakeGPT to build IoT systems with prompts

 

Extract :

IIT Madras Research Park-incubated startup Kochadai Technologies has launched MakeGPT, a tool that can

help people build prototypes simply by using natural language prompts.

MakeGPT was officially unveiled by Dr. Palanivel Thiagarajan, Minister for Information Technology and Digital Services, Government of Tamil Nadu, during the ‘ZeroToOne: GenAI Product Day’ event. 

The toolkit is accessible to non-technical users who can just describe the idea behind their Internet of Things (IoT) system. 

The platform comprises of Natural Language-to-Hardware Interface for :

Ø  Conversational project creation,

Ø  Automated System Generation with component selection,

Ø  Real-Time Design Iteration through dialogue-based design refinement and

Ø  Educational Insight Mode to explain component functionality in context,

a statement released said.

“Imagine telling an AI to ‘create a soil moisture monitoring system that sends alerts to my phone when plants need water’ and receiving a complete prototype with component lists, firmware code, and assembly instructions,” said Naveena Swamy, Founder of Kochadai Technology Solutions

  “That’s the reality MakeGPT delivers today. We’re democratizing hardware innovation for everyone.”

 

Dear Naveena :


Congratulations for what could be a “ Path Breaking Innovation “

From this news report I cannot make out how your MakeGPT would “ democratize hardware innovation for everyone “ , but with Trump’s 50 % tariff on India-made Garments kicking in from today , your innovation could turn out to be that “ Knight in the White Armour “ for our Garment Industry .

If MakeGPT can enable Indian Garment Manufacturers to 3D Print , “ Custom-made / Personalized / Stitch-less “ garments ( even one UNIQUE piece at a time , as designed by any customer from any corner of the World , using a GARMENT SELECT AI-ENABLED MOBILE APP ), then we could beat the garment industries of Bangladesh – Philippines – Indonesia

 

Please take a look at my following suggestions and do let me know what you think

My Suggestions :

Ø  HOW FAR SHOULD WE SEE ?  …………………………………… 15 Feb 2016

 

Extract :

And then what would happen to such automated garment-making assembly lines when people install 3D Printing Machines in their homes ? - machines that can print garments as per designs downloaded from Net  ?

 

Ø  Tech World turning imagination real  ………………………… 23 Feb 2016

 

Extract :

A BBC TV report last evening talked about the Chinese Manufacturers having developed machines that can carry out traditional Indian " Chikankari " embroidery on a saree within one hour what takes poor women of Lucknow, close to a hundred hours 

 

And they are dumping these sarees in the Indian Market at one fourth the price  !

 

Some 5 lakh poor women in UP are in danger of being obsolete !

 

DIPP is planning to equip some 100 " Innovation Centres " at University Campuses across India , with 3D printers

 

How about some Indian Start Up developing a technology to 3D Print " Chikankari " sarees and make these software / hardware available to these poor women, to beat the Chinese at their own game ?  :

 

 

Ø  Congratulations, Ashwini Vaishnawji……………………………. 23 Feb 2022

 

Extract :

Dear Shri Piyush Goyalji,

Here is how 3D Printing industry, should be developed to boost exports :

 { A }  Exporting SOFTWARE for 3 D printing

Ø  Indian software geeks can design / develop 3D printing software at ONE TENTH what it would cost a US – EU – JAPANESE company to develop it in-house, in their own countries. They would prefer to outsource such software to Indians

Sitting in their homes with their own ( scale model ) 3D printing machines, these Indians would give a demo of the software developed, to their foreign clients, using ZOOM – Google Meet ( holograms, at a future date ), - before emailing it

{ B }  Exporting COMPONENTS manufactured in India, using 3D Printing

This is a case where a Foreign Company has already developed its own 3D printing softwares but do not wish to set up local manufacturing facility in its own country , with all its hassle / manpower / commitments 

 They would like an Indian Company ( with its cost-competitiveness ), to manufacture components using their software ( delivered over internet ) and ship out

I believe, given adequate support / encouragement / incentives / push by the government, this could motivate many Indian Startups to set up 3D PRINTING factories ( with 3D printing machines capable of using a wide variety of Raw Materials such as metals – resins – plastics – even organic compounds etc ) exclusively to cater to foreign clients

 

Ø  Stitch-less ? A Nine Year long wait  ………………………….. 24  Oct  2024

 

Extract :

It is said > A stitch in time, saves nine

I said  “ How about a Stitch-less garment ? “ – but I had to wait for nine years to realize !

Here is that realization :

Most innovative breakthrough:

No tailor required... Just feed the yarn in the machine and get the finished dress of your design and that too without stitches “
