Abstract:
Automation is the use of control systems, such as computers or robots, and information technologies for handling different processes and machineries in an industry to replace a human being. It is the second step beyond mechanization in the scope of industrialization. Today, the focus of automation has shifted to increasing quality and exibility in a manufacturing process from increase productivity. Research and design of automated pharmacy were introduced. It has been pointed out that the system should be provided with three main functions namely medicine supply, data analysing, medicine fetching and the realization scheme of each function. On the basis of the design of the systematic mechanical structure, the corresponding controlling systems for analysing information of medicine, automated medicine fetching device, automated medicine supply device were designed, and the study on the controlling method of each executing mechanism was carried out. Finally a detailed analysis was carried through on the function of the system software. The database of systematic medicines was constructed, and the software design of four modules of database management, automated medicine supply and automated medicine fetching was achieved by applying the multithread technology. Presently the development of system had already been accomplished, and this system can be applied to the outpatient service pharmacy of hospitals with good operational effects. The basic mechanism behind the machine relies on X-Y plotter mechanism. The medicines are picked up using vacuum pump and is released to outdoor which is then picked up by pharmacist. RFID tag is used as the medium to enter the medication data through a computer interface.
