RxSafe, LLC, the leader in automated high density robotic storage and retrieval systems for pharmacies, has recently installed an RxSafe 1800™ system at a Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area supermarket for Giant Eagle, Inc., a leading regional multi-format food retailer.
"When we decided we wanted to investigate an automation system for our pharmacies, we looked for providers that had the required technology and the highest level of expertise," said Randy Heiser, Vice President, Pharmacy for Giant Eagle. "RxSafe was the top contender in both areas, and we've been extremely pleased with our initial one store pilot."
The RxSafe system is a comprehensive pharmacy workflow automation system for prescription medication in native packaging. The system allows pharmacies to accurately fill and track prescriptions, manage inventory, eliminate theft and diversion and avoid expired product. The easily customizable RxSafe system stores and automates up to 5,400 native prescription containers in less than 40 square feet of space and realizes a peak capacity of up to 500 scripts per hour in multi-operator mode.
"We're honored to have our leadership in pharmacy automation technology validated by Giant Eagle's interest in our new system," said William Holmes, Founder and CEO of RxSafe.
Fundamentally changing the workflow process, automating the tracking, storage and retrieval of prescription medication and reducing the amount of retail space required for the pharmacy, the RxSafe system is transforming pharmacy automation.
