A Smarter Approach to Unit‑Dose Packaging

PillPick Aria stands out with its unique capability to package bulk medications and overwrap medications in multiple formats, including blisters, vials, ampoules, syringes, and cups.

At ergonomic workstations called BoxStation Plus, pharmacy technicians manage safe and structured workflows:

  • Securely transfer medications from original packaging into tamper‑resistant canisters
  • Register drug data on integrated RFID chips (TAGs)
  • Print high‑visibility labels for fast, accurate identification

 

Each unit‑dose packet includes a unique barcode with drug name, lot number, and expiration date for complete traceability.
The system also reduces material usage, automatically adjusting packet length to fit each medication, no manual configuration required.
