Scalability: Enables continuous packaging of multiple cards and supports growth without adding staff. Safety: Features like RFID trays, lot and expiry tracking, and logged packaging history ensure the right medications reach the right patients with robust traceability.
BlistMED requires minimal space - about the depth of a standard counter and roughly three feet wide - making it simple to integrate into retail pharmacy dispensary layouts without major reconfiguration.
BlistMED automates partial tablet filling to reduce manual intervention and supports continuous packaging ofup to 10 blister cards in sequence, maximizing throughput while maintaining accuracy.
BlistMED delivers key advantages: reduced manual labor for blister-card preparation, increased throughput for more cards per hour, improved safety and traceability to lower risk and liability, and space-efficient automation that minimizes facility changes. These benefits should be balanced against capital costs, training, and workflow adjustments to determine ROI.
Compared to manual systems, BlistMED delivers greater accuracy through RFID trays and lot/expiry tracking, along with scalability via continuous packaging and a minimal footprint. Versus semi-automated solutions, it further reduces manual intervention and boosts throughput—making it ideal for pharmacies with growing blister-card volumes.
BlistMED fits retail pharmacy settings with limited space and scales easily for operations preparing multi-dose blister packs with growing volume - including long-term care packaging and central fill units - where speed and accuracy are essential.
