Geneva (Genève), as one of Switzerland’s primary economic engines, sits at the heart of global luxury manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and international diplomacy. With exceptionally high land acquisition costs and labor expenses within the Canton of Geneva and neighboring Vaud, conventional manual warehousing is no longer economically viable. Local enterprises must maximize volumetric storage density and operational precision.
Furthermore, Geneva’s location near the French border makes it a critical cross-border logistics gateway. Automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS) provide the necessary high-density storage (up to 85% footprint reduction) while maintaining compliance with rigorous Swiss labor laws. The deployment of vertical carousels and intelligent radio shuttle racks ensures that industries like watchmaking (demanding zero-dust, high-security micro-storage) and biomedical labs meet stringent quality benchmarks.
The global transition to "Smart Warehousing" centers around IoT integration, real-time tracking, and modular scalability. For Swiss businesses, the priority is to connect hardware—like AS/RS and DWS systems—directly with enterprise resource planning systems (such as SAP EWM) and warehouse management software (WMS).
Okapi Logistics meets these challenges by utilizing premium raw materials (high-grade Q235B & Q345B steel) combined with advanced automation components. The goal is to provide Geneva manufacturers and logistics providers with high-reliability systems certified to European CE and ISO9001 quality standards, minimizing downtime and maintenance overheads.

At Okapi Logistics, safety and engineering reliability are our top priorities. All custom-fabricated platforms, Nesrack setups, and automated racking profiles are manufactured from certified Q235B and Q345B steel. Our advanced powder-coating lines apply a corrosion-resistant protective coating (thickness ranging from 60 to 90 microns), ensuring longevity even under high-humidity or sub-zero conditions (-30°C for cold storage).
Our structures comply with the European FEM (Fédération Européenne de la Manutention) 10.2.02 and EN 15620 standards, which govern tolerances and deflections for high-bay automated racking systems. This precise manufacturing prevents structural distortion under dynamic loads, ensuring the smooth operation of AS/RS cranes and shuttle shuttles.
Deploying heavy machinery and high-bay automation in Switzerland requires compliance with local standards. All automated systems exported to Geneva must adhere to standard safety directives issued by the Swiss Accident Insurance Fund (SUVA) and Federal coordination office for labor safety (EKAS).
Our machines carry full CE mark certifications, conforming to the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU, and Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Directive 2014/30/EU. We collaborate with Swiss-licensed engineering integrators to provide seamless local site acceptance testing (SAT), ensuring systems pass all safety audits smoothly.
Modern warehouse operations rely heavily on software integration. Okapi Logistics' system hardware interfaces directly with your WCS (Warehouse Control System). Our PLC architectures support standard industrial communication networks like PROFINET, EtherCAT, and Modbus TCP/IP, ensuring seamless integration with master control networks.
This allows your local Swiss system integrator to easily map sensor feeds and control loops into higher-level inventory management systems. As a result, operations can achieve real-time monitoring of SKU locations, battery statuses of radio shuttles, and volumetric profiles captured by DWS sorting tunnels.
Answering common questions regarding the procurement, engineering compliance, and delivery of automated logistics hardware to Switzerland.
By utilizing the vertical height of a facility (up to 30 meters or more), automated vertical carousels and AS/RS stacker cranes allow you to reclaim up to 85% of your floor footprint. This eliminates the need for expensive warehouse expansions in premium zones like Plan-les-Ouates or Meyrin. Additionally, automation handles repetitive movements, reducing reliance on manual shifts and lowering labor costs while ensuring 24/7 productivity.
Yes. All of our structural steel and automated machinery comply with CE directives, including EN 15095 for vertical carousels and EN 15635 for steel racking. This helps ensure compliance with Swiss SUVA safety protocols, allowing for a smooth inspection and commissioning process by local authorities.
Absolutely. We specialize in custom-engineered warehouse solutions. Our engineering team utilizes advanced software to design mezzanine levels and steel platforms that match your specific loading requirements (ranging from 300kg/m² to over 1500kg/m²). This enables us to accommodate the unique spatial profiles of Geneva's electronic component assembly lines and pharmaceutical operations.
For customized heavy rack setups and modular automation systems, manufacturing typically requires 1 to 3 months, depending on project complexity. Shipments are processed via major international ports (such as Ningbo Port) and delivered under FOB, CFR, or CIF terms. Our team coordinates with local logistics partners to ensure safe delivery and offers complete on-site installation supervision and remote commissioning support.
We maintain a rigorous quality assurance framework under our ISO9001 registration. Our QC management team oversees production at every stage: testing raw structural steel, verifying weld integrity, measuring powder-coating depth, and testing dynamic automation systems prior to dispatch. This process ensures high structural integrity and operational reliability for all our systems.
