Pharmacy Storage and Retrieval

Alternative to Vertical Carousels

BoxPicker, Swisslog’s pharmacy storage and retrieval system, is a cost-effective alternative to vertical carousel storage and retrieval in the hospital pharmacy. BoxPicker provides higher speeds than vertical carousels, averaging 5 picks

per minute and up to 200 transactions an hour. A two-workstation configuration allows for simultaneous production.

Drug access is secured in the BoxPicker by limiting user access to one medication bin at a time with a single-box access port. The software adds security by tracking inventory and user access. View our BoxPicker Component document for further information and specifications.

2. Limits access to one medicine at a time
3. Picks more than 3 bins to 1 when compared to carousels
