A powerful solution
The pharmacy's range of products is designed to meet a wide variety of needs and health problems of all kinds. The equipment in its warehouse is correspondingly extensive - around 17,300 packages have to fit in there. At the Panda Pharmacy, it is absolutely crucial for Anette Gill that the products are available quickly, especially at peak times when there are lots of customers at the checkout. With the A3000, storage and retrieval can be carried out completely independently of one another, so that both processes can be carried out at the same time.
Cleanliness and optimized storage
The Panda Pharmacy not only relies on the ApoStore dispensing machine, but also on the specially adapted extras. For example, the connection of the machine to several visual selection displays enables several customers to be advised at the same time. Another add-on that the Panda Pharmacy team would no longer want to be without is ApoClean. This is a patented cleaning system that keeps the numerous shelves and products clean. It thus takes on a task that would require a lot of time from Anette Gill and her team if it were to be done manually. ApoClean uses a picking head to automatically clear the shelves, clean them with a cleaning block and then refill them. This happens completely automatically, whether during the day, at the weekend or in the middle of the night. Another advantage: the storage of the products is optimized at the same time.
State-of-the-art pharmacy technology also pleases customers
Equipping the Panda Pharmacy with ApoStore's dispensing technology allows Anette Gill's team to concentrate fully on advising their customers. The highest level of technology guarantees exceptional advisory expertise in all matters relating to health and well-being.
