Team
Our team consists of two persons whose successful teamwork has proved itself for almost two decades in different companies, markets and constellations.
Our common 40 year automation experience on one side and our complementary knowhow on the other, guarantee a robust, end-to-end solution competency.
Recently, we enjoyed bidding welcome to a third team member, who will be primarily responsible for developing the business.
Hansjörg Petschko
Lead Software Architect
Owner and General Manager
I was born and raised in Graz, capital of Styria, Austria. During my University studies of Physics, I worked at the Institute for Digital Image Processing of Joanneum Research, where I gained great experience in many programming languages and platforms. After my studies I moved to Switzerland and worked for Leica Geosystems Machine Automation for 5 years, later for Phonak for 2 years and most recently for Moba Machine Automation solutions for 12 years.
I am now fully dedicated to growing my own business of engineering projects and selling the ViViVerseTM as a licensed framework.
Besides automation and robotics, I am interested in psychology and cell biology.
Core compentencies
System Analysis, Solution and Software Architecture, Algorithms
TIM Tsarfati
CMO, Relations & Contracts
I was born and raised in Utrecht, the Netherlands, and did my masters in Physics, Astronomy & Chemistry there. Ever since my award winning Ph.D. on nano-optical coatings, yielding high-impact semiconductor patents, my drive is to benefit society with innovative technology. I thus initiated & led the DIFFER Valorisation Office and engaged, supervised & concluded 70+ tech transfers & spin-offs at CERN, Switzerland.
I then obtained an MBA and led a 20 person team at VAT on a tenfold account growth journey, through successful relationship building, product marketing and contract negotiations. I headed Canvas and Competency programs with field engineering teams, global sales and customers. To take my sense of valorization impact to a next level, I joined ViViVerse to identify new opportunities, grow the market and customer base. Beside all this, I’m interested in geopolitics, philosophy and various outdoor activities.

Pedro Knecht
System integration, DevOps
I was born and raised in Neustadt, Sachsen. After my apprenticeship as Survey engineer, I studied Geodesy and thereafter Software Technology at the Technical University Dresden in Germany.
Already since my early youth I enjoyed experimenting with technical devices and their programming.
During my studies I worked in an engineering company in the field of databases. After my studies I moved to Switzerland where I met Hansjörg at Leica Geosystems. My trusted and successful teamwork with Hansjörg goes back more than 16 years.
I have dedicated over 20 years of my professional experience to the programming, automation and system integration, especially of heavy construction machines.
I keep my interest in system integration and system programming in the field of Medical Technology, following EN IEC 62304, EN ISO 13485, etc., as well as for sailing, my hobby.
Core competencies
System Integration, DevOps, App Development, I(o)T
Contact
«Our bond is our common passion for complex smart software solutions, our longlasting teamwork and not least the fascination for our ViViVerseTM framework, which lets us build modular and absolutely individual customer-specific robotic solutions – either by ourselves or by their software developers.»
