This way of dispensing medicine requires a large number of pharmacy staff, and the speed of dispensing medicine is slow. In addition, manual dispensing of medicine is easy to cause drug infection and other shortcomings, which is far from meeting the medicine dispensing needs of current hospitals, especially large hospitals.

[0003] Although some hospital pharmacies currently use belt transportation to distribute medicines, which reduces the number of staff in the pharmacy to a certain extent, but each belt can only place medicines for one prescription, and one belt transports medicines belonging to one prescription to the lower belt. Finally, the superior belt can continue to deliver medicine to this section of the belt. When there are many medicines, it is necessary to wait for the medicine to be delivered, which is very inefficient, wastes a lot of time, and is easy to make mistakes.
