    Abstract: A pharmaceutical dispenser for dispensing a quantity of pharmaceuticals into a container includes a pharmaceutical counter to count and release the quantity of pharmaceuticals. A pharmaceutical outlet delivers the quantity of pharmaceuticals to the container. A pharmaceutical gate receives the quantity of pharmaceuticals from the pharmaceutical counter. The pharmaceutical gate includes a receiver sized and shaped to define a pharmaceutical receiving space to hold the quantity of pharmaceuticals. The receiver moves between a receiving position and a dispensing position. In the receiving position, the receiver receives the quantity of pharmaceuticals in the pharmaceutical receiving space from the pharmaceutical counter. In the dispensing position, the receiver dispenses the quantity of pharmaceuticals toward the pharmaceutical outlet.

    Abstract: A packing system for packing products (e.g., medications) and other components into a container for shipping to customers is provided. The packing system includes a system controller that directs carrier devices along routes between task stations. The system controller can monitor the tasks performed by the task stations, the locations of the carrier devices, the tasks yet to be performed to complete packing of the containers at the task stations, and queues of other carrier devices at the stations. Based on this information, the system controller may direct the carrier devices to different stations and may change the task performed by or assigned to one or more of the stations.

    Abstract: A pharmaceutical container processor for a pharmaceutical container, components thereof, and associated methods. The pharmaceutical container includes a container body and a preexisting label on the container body. The preexisting label has opposite side edges defining a preexisting label gap therebetween. The pharmaceutical container processor includes a label holder, a label detector, and a container transporter. The label holder positions a patient label to be applied on the container body of the pharmaceutical container. The label detector detects the preexisting label on the container body. The container transporter orients the preexisting label on the container body of the pharmaceutical container relative to the label holder so that at least a portion of the preexisting label gap is uncovered by the patient label when the patient label is applied on the container body.

    Abstract: A pharmaceutical order processing system, components thereof, and associated methods for filling a prescription order. The pharmaceutical order processing system includes a lower insert placer, a syringe placer, a dosing cup placer, a pharmaceutical container placer, and/or an upper insert placer. The lower insert placer places a lower insert into a box. The syringe placer places a syringe into a syringe compartment of the lower insert. The dosing cup placer places a dosing cup into a dosing cup compartment of the lower insert. The pharmaceutical container placer places a pharmaceutical container into a pharmaceutical container compartment of the lower insert. The upper insert placer places an upper insert into the box after the box has received the lower insert and the lower insert has received the syringe, the dosing cup and the pharmaceutical container.
