Automated storage systems for hospital pharmacies

Full traceability, controlled access and efficient medicine distribution to wards

We support the pharmaceutical supply chain in hospital settings

From inventory management through to supply preparation for wards and healthcare facilities.

Hospital pharmacies
The hub of medicine distribution to wards

Receiving supplies, checking expiry dates, managing hundreds of SKUs and preparing daily distributions for wards, outpatient clinics and operating theatres. In this continuous flow every pack must be traceable and available without errors.

With ICAM automated storage systems you organise medicines in an orderly and secure way, maintain full visibility over stock levels and prepare ward supplies with greater speed and accuracy.

Hospital pharmaceutical distribution centres
Logistics hubs serving multiple healthcare facilities

Many healthcare organisations centralise medicines management in warehouses that supply multiple hospitals or territorial facilities. Large volumes of medicines pass through these hubs and must be tracked, controlled and distributed without interruption.

With ICAM solutions you organise stock in a compact and controlled way, improve FIFO/FEFO rotation management and reduce the risk of stockouts.

Clinical departments
Uninterrupted therapy continuity for patients

Intensive care, emergency departments, operating theatres and specialist wards all depend on the pharmacy to receive medicines at the exact moment they are needed.

Every delay or error in supply preparation has a direct impact on clinical activity. With ICAM guided picking you prepare ward supplies quickly and reduce the risk of dispensing errors.

Proven benefits for hospital pharmacies

When pharmaceutical logistics is automated, safety, traceability and continuity of care all improve.

  • Full batch and pack traceability

    Every medicine is recorded by batch and expiry date. In the event of a pharmacovigilance alert or a market withdrawal ordered by the relevant authority, affected packs can be identified immediately and the batch recall activated without delay.

  • Fast preparation of ward supplies

    IRIDE enables fast and accurate picking of the required medicines, helping operators prepare supplies for wards, operating rooms and outpatient clinics in less time.

  • Controlled access to medicines

    Access to medicines is restricted to authorised staff and every retrieval and deposit operation is logged. This reduces the risk of unauthorised access, loss or improper use.

  • Controlled storage conditions

    Many medicines require specific storage conditions. ICAM systems maintain controlled temperature and humidity parameters, essential for sensitive and thermolabile drugs.

  • Integration with hospital information systems

    ICON, ICAM’s warehouse management software, integrates with hospital management systems, giving the pharmacy real-time visibility of stock levels, ward requirements and patient therapy schedules.

  • More efficient and digitalised pharmaceutical logistics

    When medicines and stock are organised in a structured way, the pharmacy operates with greater control and continuity. ICAM solutions support the digitalisation of hospital logistics and improve ward supply management.
