The Qx-Dextron from Qx Robotics Pvt. Ltd. is a tabletop device for dispensing medication in pharmacies, which reduces the daily work of the pharmacist purely to advising customers. There is no need to search for the required medication in the bearing. This economical automation solution can dispense individual medication strips, such as blister packs, as well as entire boxes of medication. The system pays for itself after just one year, even for smaller pharmacies.
The problem
In addition to advising customers, one of the tasks of a pharmacist is to collect the desired medication from the warehouse. This takes up time that could be used to advise other customers. This results in longer waiting times in pharmacies. The tedious task of procuring medication could be replaced by an automated solution. These are generally quite expensive and not economical, especially for small pharmacies.
The solution:
A drylin® XYZ gantry system is used for this automation solution. The dimensions of the system can be flexibly customised. This pick and place robot solution is efficient and also affordable for smaller companies. The system pays for itself within just one year. Another special feature is the innovative design of the Qx-Dextron, which enables it to dispense products that are more difficult to handle, such as push-through packaging for medicines. The system is also energy-efficient and consumes less than 1 kWh per day on average. Overall, the system ensures significantly faster dispensing of medication. For pharmacies, the time required to dispense medication is reduced to less than a third of the conventional process.
