CareFusion—improving the safety and cost of healthcare for generations to come.
Carol Farrow, Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital, Norwich“With Rowa, we reduced our medication stock, increased security for our patients and improved the supply of our wards!”
Dr. Sean O’Hare, Royal Victoria Hospital, Belfast“Reassigning job responsibilities, more efficiently managing services, handling pharmaceuticals specific to wards and reducing storage requirements—we’ve achieved all of these objectives with Rowa. We’ve also increased space and morale. The reliability of the system in our demanding 24/7 operation is very impressive.”

tandem system, the fully automatic inputting Rowa ProLog® system and a Rowa Box-

Rowa Vmax® system—slimline medicinesmanagement for hospital dispensaries
Hospitals must be able to rely on their systems.
That’s why Rowa systems always offer maximum
reliability.
More than 400 systems constantly operating in
demanding conditions prove the advantages of our
automated stock management.
The Rowa Vmax system provides an extremely flexible
and high-performance storage and dispensing system.
When combined with our wide range of product options,
Rowa enables:

Integratingwiththehospital’sstockcontrolsystem,
Rowa technologies clearly streamline medicines
management. Stock intake, recording, storage and
order picking for the wards—all of these previously
manual activities can be done in a fraction of the time
with Rowa technologies, so qualified personnel can
now work more on the wards, for example. This is
a huge advantage, especially in times of increasing
pressure on hospital staff budgets.
CareFusion ensures medication stock management—
around the clock, 365 days a year—by providing
the highest reliability and a comprehensive, fast and
competent service network with our 24-hour hotline
and very own technicians.

The right temperature— the Rowa Refrigerated unit
According to regulations, some medicines must
be stored at a constant, low temperature. The
patented Rowa refrigerated unit offers dispensaries
the option of constantly cooling medicines. Upon
input, the unit recognizes that a particular
medicine must be cooled and stored with high
priority. To minimize power consumption, the
lamellae open just enough to enable input while
ensuring a constant temperature.
Rowa product options— customized automation
Rowa technologies offer numerous configuration options that increase your level of automation based on your specific dispensary needs.
Rowa ProLog system— stock input at the touch of a button
Ifstockmustbemaintainedwithminimalmanual
movement, the ProLog system offers the optimum
solutionatthetouchofabutton.Itcantherefore
unlock enormous additional potential for efficiency.
Pharmacy staff simply has to tip out the boxes
containing new medications, and the system
automatically handles the remaining input—up to
5,000 packs per day. Loading can take place anywhere:
directly at the system, remotely from the system using
Rowa Conveyor technology or even from a different
floor or separate goods inward gate. The Rowa ProLog
system also processes 2D barcodes and round packs.
Rowa Conveyor system— extremely short routes
Optimally using available space and setting
up the stockroom in unused space are important.
Thanks to our conveyor technology developed
specially for pharmacies and dispensaries, Rowa
storage and dispensing systems can be installed
exactly where the space exists—on the upper
and lower floors or in adjoining rooms. Conveyor
belts as well as chutes and servo-controlled
lifts quickly and quietly transport medications
directly to the necessary places.
Rowa Box system— picking from bulk orders
With the Rowa Box system, CareFusion offers a practi-
calsolutionfordeliveringlargerorders(e.g.,forthe
wards). Up to 100 boxes can sit in a buffer. The packs
are picked on an order basis, labels are applied by the
Rowa Label printer and packs are then packed into the
proper box. The box is then transported onward either
by a conveyor belt or manually. The system can also
handle commercially available wholesale boxes and
take the necessary information for label printing and
pickingfromtheITsystem.Allstepsfromorderingto
delivering larger orders can be automated.
Second inputting belt— faster semi-automatic inputting
The second inputting belt enables a larger input buffer
for semi-automatic inputting. When the first belt is full,
the employee can start inputting on the second belt
while the picking heads are clearing the first belt.
