Pharmacy automation uses significantly less labor, optimizes inventory levels, enables bulk medication buying, and improves pharmacy management. The intelligent PACMED packager works virtually unattended to fulfill orders electronically, replenishing for carts, cabinets, pharmacy stock and multiple sites.

The PACMED packager automatically tracks medications by lot numbers and expiration dates, ensures refilling and perpetual inventory through bar-code verification, and standardizes bar-code formats to facilitate bedside scanning.

It also is highly scalable, accommodating from 100 to 500 line items, flexible with three sizes of storage canisters and two sizes of packages with the ROBOT-Ready model.
