Visaris History

The partnership agreement was made in 2002 to form a software engineering team in the field of digital medical imaging, archiving and organization of radiology wards.

2003

The company was founded in 2003 and registered in Genex tower, Belgrade Serbia on the 27th floor.
The first product to be developed was Visaris PACS and Diagon and the first installation was done in South Africa. Development of Visaris RIS began immediately after that in early 2004.
In the same year, Trixell’s flat panel detector was bought and integrated to construct the first Serbian digital X-ray machine Digraf X installed in an orthopedics clinic.

2007

In 2007, Jugorendgen stopped operations due to historic economic difficulties and its inability to collect receivables, leaving Visaris no option but to develop and produce own mechanics. This lead to start on development of completely new fully motorised overhead tube crane system Vision C (Air).
During this time, from 2005-2007, the Company completed a number of contracts with the Ministry of Health, City of Belgrade and won the contract in the World Bank tender for a number of Digraf C (later Vision C) units.
In response to the new situation in 2007 the Company also expanded its R&D capacity by building its first development and testing laboratory in Altina, Zemun, where development of Vision U and Vision C was completed.
