Methods for filling packagings with at least one medication include producing filling instructions, operating a packaging station to fill packagings, and verifying that each of the packagings is filled correctly. The production of filling instructions includes an allocation of medications to separated compartments in the packagings. Each packaging receives a single medication pass for a specified time on a specified day, or a medicine pass for administration on an as needed basis. The packaging station may include a manual packaging station at which an operator follows prompts to move canisters of medications, pills from the canisters, and trays of packagings to fill the packagings. The manual packaging station includes a shutter assembly with shutters configured to selectively provide access to only one compartment in each packaging at a time, thereby reducing the likelihood of filling errors. Apparatus for filling packagings may include the same manual packaging station.

A laser-guided picking or placing system is provided. The laser guided picking system works with an inventory system including a plurality of items located in particular storage areas, such as drawers or bins. Each particular storage area stores a particular item. A computer system keeps track of the items and quantity stored in each storage location. A light reflector is preferably placed near each storage area, the light reflectors within line-of-sight of a nearby laser light system. When a list of items on a customer order is generated, the computer commands the laser to point to the storage areas of the desired items or to the reflectors corresponding to storage areas, one at a time. A picking specialist then manually picks the desired number of items from each storage area, placing the items in a tote or other container, until the order is complete. Items may also be placed in the bins to replenish inventory or to return items to stock.

A motorized drive roller conveyor includes an upstream zone and a downstream zone, with each zone having a drive roller, an idler roller that is driven by the drive roller, and a sensor. The upstream zone and the downstream zone are controlled by a card, which measures a gap between a first item on the conveyor and a second item on the conveyor by beginning a counter when a trailing edge of the first item passes the sensor of the upstream zone and stopping the counter when a leading edge of the second item passes the sensor of the upstream zone to generate a counter value. If the first item is stopped in the downstream zone, the card of the upstream zone causes the drive roller of the upstream zone to advance the second item into the downstream zone for a distance derived from the counter value before stopping the transportation of the second item.

An inventory system with feedback for picking or placing items is disclosed. In this system, there is a plurality of bins or storage locations, one for each item stored. The bins are typically used in a warehouse to fulfill and ship orders of a list of items. Each bin or pair of bins is equipped with a module for directing a picking specialist to the correct bin for manually picking an order. When the picking specialist reaches into a bin to select an item, a passive heat sensor senses heat from the picker's hand, or a magnet detecting circuit detects a magnet on the picker's hand or wrist. This provides positive feedback that the correct bin was sought to retrieve the item, or an alarm or other signal may indicate the incorrect bin. The system may also be used to replenish inventory or return items to stock.

An automated picking system is disclosed for filling orders of items. The A-frame picking system includes a central computer and a plurality of frames and their controllers, each frame including a plurality of items in dispensers with approximately vertical stacks. Each frame preferably also has a conveyor for transporting items dispensed from the dispensers into totes for filling the orders. Each tote has a unique identity and information storage medium, as well as an interface for communicating with the central computer and the frame controllers. The medium may be an RFID tag, a computer chip with an interface, or a two-dimensional or stacked barcode that contains the tote identification and the required list of items.
