Automation simplified. Baker Advanced helps pharmacies automate repetitive work, improve accuracy, and keep prescriptions moving through proven vial filling, pouch packaging, and blister packaging solutions.
Company Background
Walk into pharmacies across the United States today, and you will still see Baker Cells at work. Decades after they were installed, they continue to help pharmacy teams stay accurate, move fast, and keep work flowing behind the counter.
The Baker name may have stepped out of the spotlight, but it never really left the pharmacy. For many pharmacists and technicians, Baker/APS helped introduce automation into daily pharmacy practice. Its systems became known for reliability, scale, and the kind of consistency pharmacy teams could count on every day.
Today, that story continues.
McKesson Pharmacy Automation is now Baker Advanced by McKesson, bringing a trusted name back to the forefront of the industry. Backed by proven technology and supported by McKesson’s expertise, service, and support organization, Baker Advanced combines decades of automation experience with solutions built for the work pharmacies do every day.
After all, the work behind the counter has not changed. Prescriptions still need to be counted, packaged, checked, and ready on time. Baker Advanced supports that work across vial filling, pouch packaging, and blister packaging.
Built on Proven Technology. Backed by McKesson.
Baker/APS and its technology became part of McKesson’s automation offerings in the late 1990s. McKesson has been building on it, supporting it and standing behind it ever since.
That matters in pharmacy. When a system is part of your workflow every day, you need more than the machine itself. You need service you can count on, support that shows up, and a partner who understands how pharmacy really works. Baker Advanced brings that experience under a name many in the industry already know. It combines proven technology with McKesson’s reputation for service, support, and practical solutions that help keep work moving.
