About the MicroSorterOne system for your complete medication sorting
The MicroSorter is a compact, modular sorting system that is placed behind your existing blister machine. Without major renovations, you automate the entire sorting process, from production to ward trolley. The system identifies each product via barcode or data matrix, determines the destination and sorts with 99.9% accuracy.
Whether you run a hospital pharmacy with dozens of wards, a community pharmacy with high prescription pressure, or a pharmaceutical wholesaler with thousands of order lines per day: the MicroSorter scales with your operation. Modularly expandable, relocatable, and operational within two days.
Why automate?
Manual sorting costs 4 to 6 FTE per average hospital.
Sorting errors directly impact patient safety.
GDP/GMP audit trail pressure increases with every inspection.
Direct connection to your blister machine
The MicroSorter connects to all common blister machines. After production, rolls, cards and sachets go directly into the sorting system. No manual intermediate step, no queue, no errors.
