Original Press Release:
PSI Automates the Pharmaceutical Industry
Mississauga, ON - May 21, 2004 - Since 1989, PSI's focus has been to design and manufacture automated packaging systems that result in substantial time and monetary savings for distribution centers and warehouses. Now, advancing in the prescription mail order industry, the Automated Prescription Packaging System (A.P.P.S.), dramatically increases production levels and reduces labor costs by processing a prescription order generally in under 3 seconds.
This system is designed to replace manual pack stations and can average up to 10,000 orders per shift. Customers shipping this kind of volume can expect to save up to $1.5 million a year in labor costs alone. Other benefits gained through the use of the A.P.P.S. are 100% order verification via barcode just before the item prescription documents are packaged. Wait times for order shipping is reduced thus enhancing customer satisfaction.
The Automated Prescription Packaging System handles prescription packages of various sizes that contain both bottles and boxes. The A.P.P.S. prints and matches the correct medical/order information documents with the item and completely packages the prescription in real time.
The process begins when the label on each item (box/ bottle) is scanned and the corresponding prescription and order information documents are printed concurrently. The prescription and documents are verified and matched via barcode and then automatically packaged. The order is complete when the shipping label is printed and applied to the package. Generally this entire process takes less than 3 seconds.
The Automated Prescription Packaging System works seamlessly to achieve exceptional fulfillment and packaging automation using top of the line software and barcode technology, developed by and exclusive to PSI. The results are improved efficiency, high productivity levels and low production costs.
