Description:
Pharmacy automation is defined as a mechanical system that performs operations involving the storage, packaging, dispensing, or distribution of medications while enabling control of the operation and electronic documentation of transactions. It enables pharmacies to streamline workflows and reduce the risk of errors.
Advent of Advanced Pharmacy Automation Technologies Drives the Pharmacy Automation Market
Advancement in digital technologies enables pharmacies to handle high prescription loads safely and efficiently. When pharmacy automation first became popular, pill counting was one of the only techniques available in the market. Nowadays, there are several more accessible automation machines available some of them include, automated medication dispensing systems, automated storage and retrieval systems, automated packaging and labeling systems, table-top tablet counters, and automated compounding devices. Recently, several technological developments have been made to improve the common tasks and processes performed in a pharmacy or other healthcare settings such as:
- In March 2022, Capsa Healthcare announced an expansion to its suite of NexsysADC automated dispensing cabinets. NexsysADC can accommodate any size of controlled or high-value medications or supplies in two new sizes of Controlled Access Module Drawers.
- In August 2021, Innovation Associates announced the launch of its Smart-Pod, a next-generation robot for central-fill pharmacy environments. Smart-Pod allows providers to adjust and scale their centralized fulfillment solutions to meet demands.
Switch towards Pharmacy Automation System Over Manual Methods
In the pharmacy system, various processes such as tablet counting, IV dosage fillings, medicine dispensing, etc. were done manually. The manual method used many workers, extra time in completion of the work, errors were common in these processes. But as the benefits offered by pharmacy automation grew clearer, even traditionalist pharmacies have started to make the switch. Automation increases a pharmacy’s efficiency while dramatically reducing its rate of error. Also, the costs associated with automation continue to drop, and more pharmacies are realizing that they can’t afford to put off automation any longer.
