BoxPicker by Swisslog Healthcare is an automated pharmacy storage system designed to help health systems modernize medication storage while improving accuracy and workflow performance. By replacing static shelving with secure, high-density automated storage, BoxPicker controls access to medications and retrieves products through intelligent robotic picking. For inpatient pharmacies and consolidated service centers, this type of automation can reduce manual touchpoints and strengthen safety at the point of dispense.
The system is configurable to meet a range of operational needs, including ambient, refrigerated, and dual-temperature storage requirements. Scan in and scan out technology enhances verification processes, while controlled access to a single box at a time helps minimize picking errors. Configurable workstations on one or both sides of the unit allow pharmacies to align the system with existing layouts and staffing models.
BoxPicker also supports USP <797> compliance through a secure pass-through to anterooms, enabling medication and supply retrieval without unnecessary movement between cleanroom spaces. For pharmacy leadership teams focused on balancing efficiency, safety, and regulatory readiness, automation solutions like BoxPicker represent a strategic investment in long-term operational resilience.
