Mega-Fixu for the shelving, retrieval and packaging of medicines
This Mega-Fixu, automated dispensing system, was designed for the needs of HUS Pharmacy. Its two robotic arms place 4,000–5,000 medicine packages in the storage unit each day.
Verifying the correctness of medicines throughout the process is a vital feature, which ensures that every end user gets the right medicines.
