Innovator Creates Machine to Make Garland-Making Easier
In Hyderabad, technology is helping improve traditional craftsmanship. A 34-year-old innovator has created a machine that makes garland-making faster and easier. This new invention reduces the effort needed by workers and increases efficiency.
M Syam Babu, from Balkampet, designed a 10-kg machine that automates the process of tying knots. Normally, skilled hands are needed for this task, but his machine does it automatically. The worker simply places the flowers in the machine and presses a button. Steel strings, acting like fingers, securely tie the knots. With each press, the process repeats, reducing manual labor and speeding up production.
Syam Babu is already working on a more advanced version. He wants to create a machine that can pick up flowers by itself, eliminating the need for any manual work. Originally from Nidadavolu in Andhra Pradesh, he is determined to make garland-making a fully automated process.
He is not working alone. Several voluntary groups are supporting him in developing his innovation. They are also helping him patent his design, ensuring his unique idea is protected.
This invention has attracted interest beyond India. A person from Saudi Arabia contacted him, asking for a similar machine. The request was in Arabic, so he had to translate it. He is now in discussions with them, showing the growing global appeal of his work.
The machine is designed to work on both battery and electric power. This makes it suitable for different environments, whether in large flower markets or small workshops. It aims to increase efficiency while still preserving the beauty of floral decorations.
Syam Babu remains optimistic about the future of his invention. With the right support and further improvements, his fully automated garland-making machine could soon become a reality. His journey shows how innovation and determination can transform traditional industries and help workers worldwide.
