AI-Powered Dispensing Robots: The Future of Hub-and-Spoke for Community Pharmacies
)
Pharmacy automation is no longer just about machines storing and dispensing medicines. With AI-driven systems such as SINTESI and SINTESI XL powered by STRATEGA, automation is being redefined to improve efficiency, sustainability, and patient service—helping independents thrive in a competitive healthcare landscape.
Why Hub-and-Spoke Dispensing Matters
Hub-and-spoke dispensing allows a central "hub" to assemble prescriptions and send them to "spoke" pharmacies for supply to patients. This model reduces dispensing pressure on individual pharmacies, frees up time for clinical services, and creates economies of scale—benefits long enjoyed by large pharmacy chains.
For independents, hub-and-spoke means more than efficiency—it means opportunity. By harnessing robotic hubs to take care of dispensing off-site, they gain the scale to compete while keeping their identity rooted in personal, patient-first care and deliver clinical services.
Pharmathek, a leading Italian manufacturer of automated dispensing systems, is ready to help UK independents seize this opportunity with its AI-powered robots.
STRATEGA: Intelligent Pharmacy Automation
Unlike traditional systems that simply store and retrieve medicines, STRATEGA makes the SINTESI robot super-efficient by using self-learning AI to continuously analyse dispensing data and adapt in real time.
✅ Faster dispensing – high-demand medicines always closest to hand
✅ Smarter storage – shelves reorganise automatically to fit more stock
✅ Lower costs – reduced energy use through optimised movements
✅ Quicker complex orders – Euclid3D AI plans the fastest multi-item paths
✅ Evolves with your pharmacy – adapts as your dispensing patterns change
This makes the SINTESI range the intelligent choice for pharmacies looking to combine speed, sustainability, and efficiency.
SINTESI XL: Built for Hub-and-Spoke Scale
The newly launched SINTESI XL, designed for large-scale central hubs, combined with STRATEGA’s AI, delivers unmatched performance:
✅ Deeper shelves & double grippers – handle more, faster
✅ Oversized & heavy packs – no problem
✅ Thousands of items daily – accuracy and speed guaranteed
✅ Perfect for independent hub-and-spoke networks
