Hi, I'm Sergey. Being the CEO of SoftGripping & Wegard GmbH, I have learned a lot in the last few years. I commited to many aspects of out products without nearly any experience in the field just because... someone had to do it. I learned how to design embedded software, compose a suitable hardware and then rewrite the whole codebase. I fought the wireing, built harnesses and pneumatic control systems, optimized production processes by applying desing for manufacturing techniques.
Now frankly, I have never learned it in my time at the university. Sure, you get to know some topics, but designing a whole system that is supposed to be used by a customer on a daily basis? Where do I start? What's really important?
I have the advantage of being able to share everything we do in this blog, to help you with the struggle to develop completely new hardware. Let's get started!
