Scaling Dispensing with the SINTESI XL Original Pack Dispensing Robot and Hub & Spoke | Stand C50

Scaling Dispensing with the SINTESI XL Original Pack Dispensing Robot and Hub & Spoke | Stand C50

Hub & Spoke is opening up new possibilities for how pharmacy dispensing can be organised. As dispensing volumes grow, capacity, space and technology become increasingly important.

 

Scaling Pharmacy Dispensing with SINTESI XL

For pharmacies embracing Hub & Spoke, this can make high-density storage and automated dispensing particularly valuable. SINTESI XL, Pharmathek's original pack dispensing robot, brings together high-density storage, greater capacity and versatile product handling to support pharmacies managing larger volumes of medicines.

Its capabilities make it a natural fit for Hub & Spoke, while also making it a valuable option for high-dispensing pharmacies looking to maximise their available space.

 

How Hub & Spoke Is Changing Dispensing

Hub & Spoke gives pharmacies another way to organise dispensing, allowing a central hub to prepare medicines on behalf of one or more spoke pharmacies. By bringing more dispensing activity together in one location, the model can create greater opportunities to use technology, space and resources efficiently.

For a hub managing higher volumes and a broader range of medicines, having the right storage and dispensing technology becomes increasingly important. This is where SINTESI XL's high-density storage and flexible product handling can provide a valuable advantage.

 

Why Storage Density Matters at Scale

As dispensing volumes grow, making the most of the available footprint becomes increasingly important. Rather than simply adding more storage, pharmacies can look at how much capacity can be created within the space they already have.

SINTESI XL increases storage density through its ultra-deep shelving:

  • 60% more shelf depth than SINTESI
  • Up to 6,110 packs per linear metre
  • 2.11 m wide, helping maximise capacity without simply increasing the floor footprint

By making greater use of the available space, SINTESI XL can accommodate more medicines within a compact footprint. This makes it particularly relevant to high-dispensing pharmacies and Hub & Spoke operations managing larger volumes of stock.

 

What Makes SINTESI XL Different?

Greater capacity is only part of what separates SINTESI XL from the standard SINTESI. As dispensing operations grow, the challenge is not simply storing more medicines but being able to manage a wider variety of products within the same automated workflow.

Larger and heavier packs can be more difficult to accommodate within automated pharmacy dispensing systems, particularly when a pharmacy is managing a diverse stock profile. SINTESI XL addresses this through its Slim-Fit XL gripping head and flexible configuration options.

Key capabilities include:

  • Handles products up to 4,500 g: allowing heavier packs to be managed within the automated system rather than requiring separate handling.
  • Accommodates a wide range of pack sizes: from 30 × 20 × 15 mm up to 450 × 350 × 250 mm, supporting a broader range of medicines.
  • Single or dual gripper options: allowing the system to be configured around the pharmacy's requirements, with dual grippers helping support higher-volume operations.

Together, these capabilities allow a wider range of products to be managed within the same automated workflow, including larger and heavier packs. For high-dispensing pharmacies and Hub & Spoke operations, that combination of capacity and flexibility can become increasingly valuable as volumes grow.

 

Built for Scale

As dispensing becomes more centralised, pharmacies need technology that can keep pace with increasing volumes while making efficient use of available space. SINTESI XL brings together the capacity, storage density and product handling capabilities needed to support larger dispensing operations.

For Hub and Spoke, this creates a natural fit, while the same capabilities can also support high-dispensing pharmacies looking to make more of the space they already have.

 

Scale dispensing. Maximise space.
