Problem
Pharmacies are required to store an expanding range of medications while handling increasing prescription volumes, which strains limited floor space, elevates the risk of dispensing errors, and consumes staff time that could be spent on patient counseling.
Solution
FarmAsist delivers fully integrated pharmacy automation platforms built on Rowa® Technologies’ patented HD‑Multi‑Picking® robotic arm. The system consolidates high‑density storage with simultaneous multi‑pack retrieval, enabling rapid, accurate dispensing without manual handling. Real‑time inventory management software synchronizes stock levels with existing pharmacy management systems, providing automated replenishment alerts and audit trails. The modular hardware can be configured for pharmacies of various sizes, from small community outlets to large hospital dispensaries. Installation includes on‑site commissioning and training, while a dedicated service team offers remote diagnostics and preventive maintenance to ensure continuous uptime. By automating routine pick‑and‑pack tasks, the solution frees pharmacists to focus on clinical services and improves overall operational efficiency.
Target Audience
The primary customers are community pharmacies and hospital pharmacy departments processing 100–5,000 prescriptions daily, as well as larger dispensing centers and wholesale pharmacies seeking high‑throughput automation.
