The Year of the Robot

A pharmacy in Texas is now using a robot to count their prescriptions. The EyeCon will scan the NDC code on the stock bottle, a technician pours out the medication onto the EyeCon and the EyeCon counts the required number of pills and the technician removes the excess. When counting C-2 medication the EyeCon has the ability to take pictures of the pill count to ensure that the correct amount of medication is dispensed. This picture can be viewed again later incase patients are questioning the accuracy of their dispensed medication. It is a pretty neat tool to have in the pharmacy and it is increasing productivity and allowing for fewer technicians.
