Haier Biomedical: Pioneering Technological Precision in Pharmaceutical Innovation

In light of the advancements of the Internet of things (IoT) and the hospital information systems (HIS), the procedures related to hospital registration and medical treatment have experienced a significant acceleration. However, the traditional pharmacy model, characterized by a lengthy manual medication dispensing process which is prone to errors, the risk of drug cross-contamination, and suboptimal regulatory efficiency, has posed formidable challenges to the progression of the medical industry. Consequently, the inevitable shift from traditional pharmacies to smart pharmacies has gained momentum.

The emergence of smart pharmacies aims to enhance the efficiency and quality of drug sales and health management, all while prioritizing medication safety. Through the integration of pharmacy management with technological innovation, these pharmacies leverage intelligent devices to optimize the accuracy and efficiency of drug storage, dispensing, and sales. Additionally, they offer personalized and professional health management services to customers, solidifying their position as an integral component within the healthcare service industry.

During last month’s Smart Pharmacy launch event, Zhang Dapan, Africa project director at Haier Biomedical, delivered a comprehensive presentation on technological innovation in the pharmaceutical industry. She also introduced the company’s latest and most popular smart pharmacy equipment.

The rapid dispensing machine boasts a storage capacity of up to 20,000 boxes and a dispensing rate of 2,500 boxes per hour. Operating autonomously, it intelligently restocks medication based on usage patterns, significantly enhancing automation. In addition, both dispensing and restocking processes can be executed concurrently, with a restocking speed of no less than 2,500 boxes per hour.

Another notable offering of Haier Biomedical is the high-speed dispensing machine, specifically designed for the efficient dispensing of high-frequency and high-volume medications. With a total medication storage capacity of over 4,000 boxes, this machine features an independent high-speed dispensing system, achieving remarkable efficiency with a single-channel dispensing speed of up to 4 boxes per second and can simultaneously dispense from three channels. During restocking, the machine provides automatic positioning indications and supports multiple individuals restocking simultaneously, with each person capable of restocking at a rate of 100 to 150 boxes per minute.

The smart dispensing machine is designed to accommodate medications with irregular packaging or vials for prescription drugs by swiftly identifying the target medication within a mere 3 seconds, displaying the quantity and providing location indications. This feature enables pharmacists to quickly and accurately retrieve medications, thereby reducing retrieval time.

Moving forward, Haier Biomedical is committed to further advancing its research and development efforts and fostering innovation in the smart pharmacy sector. By enhancing the quality and efficiency of product services, the company aims to contribute significantly to the overall efficiency enhancement of hospital pharmacy services, with the ultimate goal of ensuring high-quality healthcare services are accessible on a global scale to make life better, through the intelligent protection of life science.
