Seegrid names Sid Wiesner as vice president of engineering

Seegrid Corporation, a leader in three-dimensional vision navigation, has announced it has hired Sid Wiesner to serve as its vice president of engineering.

“Sid will be responsible for overseeing the strategic areas of technology, hardware and software engineering, and quality assurance for the company,” said Jim Rock, chief executive officer for Seegrid. “His strong background in product and technology development and engineering management aligns with the company’s strategy for continued growth and success.”

Wiesner served as Seegrid’s director of development from 2003-2007, followed by a one-year sabbatical to help a non-profit NGO in Kenya. “I worked at Seegrid for the first seven years during the core technology development phase and now I have a great opportunity to rejoin the team,” he said. “Seegrid allows incremental automation in a way other automation options can’t match in the materials handling industry. Driving a vision-guided vehicle off a delivery truck, training a workflow, and beginning an application quickly and efficiently is something that excites customers.”

Wiesner previously held the position of chief technology officer of Wellbridge Health, a healthcare IT company dedicated to improving care for people with chronic diseases. Prior to Wellbridge Health, he served as vice president of product development for Touchtown, a company that produces hardware and software with a focus on life-safety and wellness communication with senior living communities.
