Codex Automata: The PLC Oracle
A software tool that automatically parses undocumented PLC project files, creating interactive documentation and allowing engineers to query complex machine logic using simple, conversational commands.
The PLC Architect
An AI-powered platform that organizes the world's PLC knowledge into structured 'blueprints', teaching programmers to build complex automation logic from fundamental, layered concepts.
The PLC Architect is a niche educational and development tool inspired by the knowledge preservation of Asimov's 'Foundation' and the structured world-building of Nolan's 'Inception'. The core concept is that mastery in PLC programming isn't about memorizing code, but about understanding how to construct robust logic from first principles, layer by layer. The project works in three stages:
1. The Foundation (Data Aggregation): A web scraper, similar to an 'Online Courses' scraper, continuously gathers PLC code snippets, logic examples, and technical discussions from public forums, manuals, and repositories. This raw data forms the 'Encyclopedia Industrialis'—a vast repository of collective industrial programming knowledge.
2. The Seldon Vault (AI Analysis): The collected data is processed and analyzed by an AI model. The model deconstructs complex programs into their most fundamental 'logic primitives'—the equivalent of basic ideas or building blocks (e.g., a seal-in circuit, a one-shot, a timer). It identifies best practices, common patterns, and optimal structures for various industrial tasks.
3. The Dream Machine (The Platform): This is the user-facing web application. Instead of a typical tutorial, it offers an 'Architect Mode'. A user is given a problem (e.g., 'Create a traffic light controller'). The platform guides them to select the necessary 'logic primitives' and layer them together to build a complete, structured solution. For advanced users, it provides 'Inception Blueprints'—fully-formed, heavily documented templates for complex machinery, derived from the AI's analysis of best-in-class examples. This methodology 'implants' the core thought process of an expert engineer, transforming learning from rote memorization into a process of architectural design.
This project is low-cost, requiring only standard web development and scraping tools. Its high earning potential lies in a freemium subscription model, offering basic primitives for free and charging for access to advanced 'Blueprints', AI-driven code analysis, and enterprise licenses for training new automation engineers.
