The Swisslog Boxpicker is a proprietary system that meets PDDC requirements and is the only Automated Pharmacy Storage and Delivery System that allows multiple operators to work simultaneously on different tasks. This Boxpicker is widely used across various PDDCs thus having same product at PDDC in Langley will support compatibility and interoperability. Other system characteristics that are essential to the PDDC are the smaller footprint and modular nature of the product to allow for future expansion. The ability of the product to allow for pre-picking of one medication at a time into a bin, ahead of the user, is essential for PDDC to reduce errors and movement across the carousel.
