The vision
“At the beginning, there was my vision: I wanted to create a compact solution that measures everything directly inside the production cell!”
Dr.-Ing. Dipl. Math. Ulrich Wiest, manager
The founder

Dr. Ulrich Wiest is from the branch and he knows the problem from practice: Since 1996, he has worked as a developer in the field of robot calibration and has played an important role in the development of “robots with absolute accuracy” as well as of the “measuring robot” designed for the company KUKA in Augsburg.

In 2001, he received a doctorate upon the “Kinematical calibration of industrial robots” at the Karlsruhe University and was awarded the “Südwestmetall-Preis zur Förderung des wissenschaftlichen Nachwuchses” (An award for the Promotion of young scientists).
Since the foundation of the Wiest AG, Dr. Ulrich Wiest has developed products in the field of robot calibration and participated in the nationwide research project “iroProg – Innovative Roboterprogrammierung” (Innovative robot programming). His invention “3D Koordinatenmesssystem” (3D coordinate-measuring system) was patented in 2006.
