Abstract: A method for packaging discrete medicaments in pouches in a packaging device configured to form and fill the pouches in an elongated web,



the method comprising the following steps:
transporting the elongated web along a web trajectory,
printing information on the elongated web related to the discrete medicaments that are fed to the elongated web at the position of the printed information on the elongated web,
feeding the discrete medicaments to the elongated web at the position on the elongated web of the related printed information,
inspecting the elongated web to determine whether there is a fault related to the elongated web, and
in response to a fault being detected, printing a fault indication or a fault symbol on the elongated web, and forming an empty pouch at the position of the fault indication or fault symbol.

Abstract: A method, a computer program product and a dispensing device for dispensing discrete medicaments,



wherein the dispensing device comprises a dispensing section, a collection section and a packaging section, wherein the dispensing section defines an array of feeder positions for holding a plurality of feeder units, wherein the collection section comprises a first collection unit that is movable in a collection direction,
wherein the method comprises the steps of:

positioning a first feeder unit at a first feeder position; and
prior to removing the first feeder unit from the first feeder position, positioning a second feeder unit at a second feeder position, downstream from the first feeder position in the collection direction,


wherein the first feeder unit and the second feeder unit hold medicaments of the same first composition.
