Create a lean Pharmacy with dispensing integration

The healthcare industry appears to have taken longer to accept the techniques and practices adopted by other industries as they strive towards lean manufacturing and lean systems. Fully automated “Robot” picking systems require a huge investment and significant ongoing maintenance and have a number of limitations due to their fully automated status, such as the inability to replenish stock whilst picking is taking place. Pharmaflo is a semi robotic batch picking system, that utilises existing staff and our Pharmashelve pullout draw system. This combination offers a system that can deliver efficiencies to ALL of the dispensary output and stock, unlike full robotic systems that can only deliver small boxes. Fully manual systems, whilst requiring no investment, are time consuming and wasteful. Fixed shelving systems require less investment, are time consuming, and inefficient, these issues have left many Hospitals and large Pharmacies relying on old working practices rendering the whole dispensary function inefficient. Pharmashelve and Pharmaflo have a modern solution to address this dispensing inefficiency.
