Automated pick-to-prescription

KNAPP has supplied automated logistics systems for over 80 PHOENIX locations worldwide. The solution featuring 5 Pack2Patient lines, which was supplied to the Runcorn distribution centre in 2019, has been so successful that PHOENIX recently installed an additional line at the site.

Products picked fully automatically by KNAPP's Central Belt System (A-frame automatic picking machine) are conveyed to a workstation where an operator removes them from the tote, placing them on a conveyor belt. This feeds the items automatically into the Pack2Patient system, where smart cameras scan each item to capture information from 1D and 2D matrix codes, shape/dimensions and several other attributes. The Pack2Patient solution automatically prints and applies labels to the articles on the fly as they pass through the system.
