CONSIS B FAQS
The CONSIS B is a German-engineered robotic dispensing system using channel technology to store and dispense medication quickly and accurately. It’s ideal for medium-to-high volume pharmacies looking to improve workflow efficiency and stock control.
Minimal travel distances of the picking mechanism enhance picking productivity. Where gravity chutes and perspex bins are used, each pack is delivered in 4-6 seconds to the workstation – halving the time required for manual picking.
The CONSIS B offers faster dispensing speeds, enhanced reliability, improved software, and greater storage density than earlier channel systems. It also features advanced hardware design for quieter, smoother operation.
Be it power failure or a computer crash, manually removing packages in an emergency is easy. Simply open the glass doors, remove the package – and you’re done!
The user-friendly intuitive CONSIS software is easy to use with the added convenience of the adjustable touch-screen monitor with integrated scanner and keyboard.
Medicine bottles are stored, dispensed and restocked quickly and easily without any need for double handling or specialised storage.
