The pavers of Swiss construction company WALO seal the cores of dams with a layer of special asphalt with a thickness of up to 1 meter to make them waterproof. Those dams can reach several hundred meters in height and thickness. The precision needed for such impressive buildings comes from highly accurate GNSS measurements which are used for the fully automatic control of the machines.

For several years, ViViVerse™ GmbH has had a trust- and fruitful cooperation with RoboMark, the Swiss based creators of self-propelling regatta buoys. We have been supporting RoboMark in all matters related to software development. This includes the design and implementation of a multi-language mobile app, together with a communication backend for the real-time control of multiple buoys. The development of a BSP for the communication node and application specific firmware adaptions for the buoys also belong to our contributions.

Together with Leica Geosystems, ViViVerse™ GmbH has provided full 3D support for a special railbed construction and refurbishing machine of Austrian-Swiss construction company Rhomberg-Sersa. This machine removes existing ballast (the gravel underneath the rails), recycles it and puts it back in one pass. The use of two surface designs at the same time - one for cutting and one for filling, being able to fall back on various degrees of semi-manual operation and the seamless transition from GNSS to Total station position measurements were the reasons to prefer a custom made application software over a standard solution.

In 2021, the ViViVerse™ GmbH developed the basis of a new generation of microcontroller-based firmware for the Swiss manufacturer of hydraulic components and systems Wandfluh AG.

While its predecessor was written in the programming language C, for the new firmware C++ in its most recent specification (2020) was used. The goal was to implement extended flexibility - of course besides the well-proven existing functionality. In addition, maintainability should be improved and deployment made easier, thus the software can be maintained and extended very easily throughout the entire lifespan of the durable products. All this should be achieved without inflating the resulting firmware too much compared with the previous version.
After a short and intensive analysis phase, a prototype was created, which then was iteratively refined and extended, all based on almost daily reviews.

When the software had reached the intended degree of maturity, further development was handed over completely to Wandfluh, with the ViViVerse™ GmbH continuing to provide practical support.

The German manufacturer of components and systems for mobile automation MOBA has been using the ViViVerse^TM framework for several years for the development of software applications.

The ViViVerse^TM is used on embedded devices powered by microcontrollers, on mobile displays running WinCE, Linux and Android and on cloud servers running Windows.

The implemented applications include data collection and exchange for communal waste collection vehicles, control of construction machines and general purpose fleet management.

The ViViVerse™ GmbH maintains the framework and provides support for the MOBA development team.
