Kantonsspital Aarau

In September 2026 (T08), the newly constructed Dreiklang building will be handed over to Kantonsspital Aarau by general contractor Implenia. To ensure a seamless transition and efficient logistics operations, external consulting was engaged for:

• Developing a holistic FTS logistics operations concept
• Creating an integrated pneumatic tube system logistics operations concept
• Coordination between IBS (Inbetriebsetzung) and IBN (Inbetriebnahme)
• Development of a detailed IBN roadmap, including clear tasks, responsibilities, and dependencies
• Coordination between IBN and relocation planning to ensure a seamless transition.

We worked closely with Kantonsspital Aarau, suppliers, Implenia (general contractor), and Bauherrenvertretung Stokar + Partner, providing strategic guidance and hands-on project management to ensure the seamless integration of logistics and commissioning processes.

Our role included:

• Project management and coordination across all stakeholders to align logistics and commissioning efforts.
• Development of two logistics operations concepts—one for FTS (Automated Guided Vehicle system) and one for the pneumatic tube system (Rohrpost)—ensuring efficiency and adaptability.
• Close collaboration with suppliers to define system requirements and integration strategies
• Creation of a detailed commissioning (IBN) roadmap, outlining clear tasks, responsibilities, and dependencies for a structured implementation.
• Ongoing implementation and management of the IBN roadmap, ensuring a smooth and efficient commissioning process leading up to 2027.

• Two comprehensive logistics operations concepts (FTS and Rohrpost), providing a structured framework for future hospital operations.
• A detailed IBN roadmap, offering a step-by-step guide for the commissioning process.

This project lays the foundation for an efficient, future-proof hospital logistics system, supporting one of Switzerland’s most advanced healthcare facilities.

As KSA, we experience the cooperation with Manari GmbH as extremely professional and goal-orientated. The distinctly independent way of working, paired with a high level of commitment, testifies to well-founded expertise and a strong sense of responsibility.

Ursula Keller's structured approach and consistently on-time realisation of projects underline her high level of performance. Particularly noteworthy is the proactive and determined request for necessary services from the customer, which leads to efficient and transparent communication and the successful fulfilment of milestones. We recommend Manari GmbH as a reliable partner for demanding projects.
