Prompt for automation solution image

HarshEntrepre:

I am not able to get the right image for the kind of automation solution i describe, could someone help me with the prompt or with getting better results?

Generating specific mechanical designs is always tricky because DALL-E/GPT-image-2 tries to make things look ‘cool’ rather than ‘functional’.

A few tips to fix your prompt:

1. Focus on one module first: As @windysoliloquy suggested, try prompting just for a ‘single shelf segment with a motorized robotic platform’ instead of the whole rack.

2. Use ‘Cutaway view’ or ‘Technical Schematic’ style: This forces the model to focus on the alignment of wheels and tracks rather than cinematic lighting.

3. Be specific about the placement: Instead of ‘at extreme ends’, try: ‘A low-profile robotic shuttle on four wheels, positioned between two vertical steel rails. The shuttle is aligned to move depth-wise into the shelving unit.’

Also, if you have a rough sketch, try using the ‘Edit’ (In-painting) tool in ChatGPT to highlight just the wheel area and describe only that part. It’s often better than re-generating the whole image from scratch.
