Pharmacy automation is a mechanically tailored process of handling and distributing medicines. It is aimed at removing repetitive tasks, ensuring accuracy, and efficiency by automating time consuming tasks, like counting pills and putting labels on vials. There are several categories of pharmacy automation devices ranging from programs and websites that help in keeping medical data records, to robots helping in dispensing medicines.
Pharmacy automation devices are designed to improve speed, precision, productivity and manage workflow. It allows a pharmacist to deal with more clinical work and patient centric issues.
With the COVID-19 outbreak, the emphasis on technical automation rose significantly.

The shortage of human workforce propelled hospitals and clinics to lean towards pharmacy automation devices. Hence, the global demand for automation devices has grown significantly during the historical period.
There is a wide range of pharmacy automation devices available in the market. Automated medication dispensing systems, packaging and labelling systems, tablet counters, among others are some of the most common devices in the market. In January 2024, pharmacy chain Walgreens Boots Alliance Inc. was considering selling its pharmacy automation business at USD 2 billion . The unit aids in filling pharmacy prescriptions and is expected to be a major area of interest for major healthcare companies. Therefore, the pharmacy automation devices market value is expected to grow with the rising competition among market leaders.
Pharmacies are shifting towards artificial intelligence (AI), immersive technologies like augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) to automate the workflow as much as possible. This does not mean that the need for the human workforce is going to deplete but it can facilitate the staff to be involved in customer service and patient care, rather than being caught up in monotonous tasks. The new age pharmacies are expected to see a technology driven future.
