AIS announces new pharmacy automation solutions

American Industrial Systems Inc. on Monday announced its new single and multi-touch screen panel computers and open HMI solutions designed for Pharmacy automation, M2M and Internet of Things applications.

Pharmacy automation enables health care workers to perform tasks more efficiently. A variety of pharmacy roles can be involved, including counting small tablets and capsules; measuring and mixing powders and liquids for compounding; and tracking and updating customer information in databases for personal identification information, medical history, drug interaction risk detection and inventory management.

AIS Touch-Panel Interfaces provide pharmacists, nurses and medical workers with an easy-to-use interface, web-based solution with wireless connectivity, interoperability and communications with other equipment. AIS Single or Multi-Touch Screen Panel Computers features automated medication dispensing systems, automated packaging and labeling systems, automated medication compounding systems, storage and retrieval systems, table-top counters and other systems.

Automated dispensing equipment with AIS’s single- or multiple-touch HMI Panels provide benefits including reducing medication errors and improve quality of care; improving nursing and pharmacy staff efficiency by reducing manual steps and processes; heightening medication security and diversion prevention; improving medication tracking and regulatory compliance; reducing inventory costs and optimizing inventory to minimize impact of drug shortages; minimizing redundant data entry, system maintenance and IT involvement; and seamlessly integrating health care information systems.
