Inspiration
Chris Wanstrath Co-founder CEO GitHUB - Mega Code Keeper : “Coding is not the main event anymore. Building software is the main event. Coding is just one small part of it. We think the future of coding is no coding at all. we think autonomous coding is a very real thing.”
“We talk about software eating the world, we talk about all this great technological innovation, and yet at the end of the day we're still just hitting buttons on a keyboard.”
“That doesn't mean this is going away, that means this is going to become more awesome, there's going to be more great tools, and more ways for you to communicate to the computer, to the system, what you want to build than ever before. We're going to have more control over the software we build in the future and it's going to be way better because all software is increasing together.”
These, once voiced and irrefutable facts on the part of an authoritative talent, for a long time did not allow me to sleep well, and I began to make my old dream come true.
What it does
We have developed a tooling NO CODE platform to simplify, speed up and reduce costs in processes R&D for developers of robotics, automatics and smart systems
How we built it
It is the result of my many years of practical experience and knowledge in robotics, automation and intelligent systems in many fields such as livestock, automotive, test benches, medical equipment, simulators, military equipment, etc., I have developed a tool platform to simplify, accelerate and reducing costs in R&D development processes.
Challenges we ran into
We feel like pioneers in this area and are looking for marketing strategies to popularize our product, bring it to a wider audience, democratize research and development. At the same time, we cannot rely on the expertise of third parties for success stories in our industry. Communication between experts is not very simple, since they are initially classical programmers, and in their eyes we are competitors, claiming to simplify their work and the cost of their projects. We are also hindered by stereotypical thinking among many clients about what tools developers should use and what skills they should have.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We have implemented our idea into a real commercial software product. Today, it is a fully functional toolkit that expands the audience of developers, allowing them to create their own business and provide their services in areas that, until recently, due to the large capabilities of projects, could not afford automation or robotization in their workplaces. We have successfully completed validation (4 projects in 6 months) in several commercial projects (medicine, automotive, instrumentation and scientific research). Have had positive feedback from our clients. Recently, our company was nominated in the ranking of the leading Israeli startups as a developer of NO CODE tools in the field of automation and robotics. Welp Magazine, an independent London-based IT publication https://welpmagazine.com/these-are-the-top-industrial-automation-companies-in-israel-2021/ Our product has passed an expert assessment at the largest American trading platform RobotShop and has been presented for sales in many European countries. https://www.robotshop.com/en/beeptoolkit-no-code-tool-pc-platform-developers-of-robotics-automatics-smart-devices.html
What we learned
The Beeptoolkit platform provides clear benefits to everyone who uses it. Tool allows you to test your ideas for decision-making and implement them at the hardware-software level, to create your own IT business. The platform is aimed at a wide audience of specialists, including those who do not have programming skills, who, due to age and other restrictions, are forced to think about their future professional path, students - graduates. , IT entrepreneurs, etc. We are on the verge of opening a new layer of high-level no-coders developers.
What's next for NO CODE platform tooling for R&D of Robotics, Automatics and Smart systems.
As the product spreads, we want to develop an international partner network of our agents and distributors in various industries, in medicine, agriculture, education, science, defense industry and so on. In accordance with the needs of our clients, we will increase the functionality of the platform and provide comprehensive technical support. This is a big and interesting job with a lot of counter-initiatives.
