About
I am Dinesh Kumar G, a BE in Electrical & Electronics Engineering, with more than nine years in industrial automation. I work across PLC and SCADA programming, electrical panel design, CNC retrofits, machine vision, and special purpose machines and test rigs, along with IIoT, OEE and traceability projects. In recent years I have moved into writing industrial software in Rust, using Tauri and Axum. ElectronIx DNC, a product I built for CNC program transfer, is already in production. I am based in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, and I work directly with the people running the plant, from the panel drawing to the production software.
