Pharmacy automation stands as a viable solution to alleviate the negative impacts of the 2024 DIR Initiative. By implementing advanced pharmacy automation systems, you can streamline medication dispensing, inventory management, and administrative tasks, allowing your team to dedicate more time and effort to revenue-generating activities and patient care.
Moreover, pharmacy automation contributes to freeing up cash flow by optimizing inventory management. Automated systems can track medication usage, predict demand, and minimize waste by ensuring accurate dispensing and reducing errors. By minimizing inventory holding costs and eliminating the risk of expired medications, automation helps pharmacies maintain better control over their finances and allocate resources more effectively.

Pharmacy Director of Operations
“The addition of Noritsu’s technology resulted in substantial improvements in EverSpring’s production time, workflow, and overhead costs. “We were running 16-hour days on average; sometimes we were so behind, we had to run 20 or 24 hours a day with the older machines,” said Blazier. “The new machines decreased our runtime to an average of 10 hours a day and increased our output by 25% while decreasing our payroll hours by about 50%.”
“Noritsu’s automated pharmaceutical packaging technology not only allowed us to efficiently automate drug packaging but provided us with the ability to ensure accuracy. We were very impressed with Noritsu’s machinery, as well as their demonstrably strong customer support.”
