A storage device having discrete drawers includes a housing having a frame assembly. A drawer assembly is movably received in the housing. A cover is fixedly mounted atop the drawer assembly preventing access to the contents of the drawer assembly. The drawer assembly is further divided into at least two discrete compartments. An actuator is connected to the frame assembly, the actuator operating to move the drawer assembly along a drawer slide slidably outward from the housing. At least two second actuators are connected to said drawer assembly, each actuator operating to move one of the at least two discrete compartments outward from the drawer assembly such that the cover does not move along with the compartment.

1. A storage and dispensing workstation, comprising: a housing;a plurality of drawer slides positioned horizontally adjacent to one another in the housing along a lateral axis, each drawer slide comprising a first member and a second member, the first member being attached to the housing and the second member being linearly movable relative to the first member along a longitudinal axis;a plurality of single-row drawer assemblies, each single-row drawer assembly disposed on top of a corresponding drawer slide and moveable with second member such that each single-row drawer assembly is linearly extensible as a single-row from the housing along a direction of the longitudinal axis independent of the other single-row drawer assemblies in the storage and dispensing workstation;each single-row drawer assembly comprising a plurality of discrete compartments located adjacent to one another in a single-row horizontal linear array along the longitudinal axis, such that the single-row horizontal linear array of compartments in each drawer assembly are extendable from the housing independent of other compartments in the other single-row drawer assemblies such that a top of the compartments in each single-row drawer assembly is visible when the single-row drawer assembly is extended from the housing,wherein each of the compartments is linearly extensible from the single-row drawer assembly along a direction of the lateral axis and generally perpendicular to the longitudinal axis;a plurality of first actuators connected to the housing, each first actuator operating to move a corresponding single-row drawer assembly linearly outwardly from the housing;a plurality of second actuators connected to each single-row drawer assembly, each second actuator operating to move a corresponding one of the plurality of discrete compartments linearly outwardly from the single-row drawer assembly from a closed position to an opened position;a single cover mounted to each single-row drawer assembly and covering each of the discrete compartments of the single-row drawer assembly, wherein the cover prevents access to each of the compartments when they are in the closed position, wherein the cover of the single-row drawer assembly is permanently fixed to the single-row drawer assembly such that it does not move with the discrete compartments when each of the discrete compartments is moved between the closed position and the opened position. 2. The storage and dispensing workstation of claim 1, further including a host control module in communication with the actuators operating with commands input by an operator to operate the first and second actuators in tandem with one another such that the discrete compartment does not move outward from the single-row drawer assembly until the single-row drawer assembly has moved slidably outward from the housing. 3. The storage and dispensing workstation of claim 1, wherein users are prevented access to the discrete compartments without supplying proper credentials. 4. The storage and dispensing workstation of claim 1, wherein the single-row drawer assembly is removably secured to the drawer slide. 5. The storage and dispensing workstation of claim 1, wherein the discrete compartments are removably secured to the single-row drawer assembly. 6. The storage and dispensing workstation of claim 1, wherein the discrete compartments are removably secured to the single-row drawer assembly. 7. The storage and dispensing workstation of claim 6, further including a host control module in communication with the plurality of second actuators, the control module controlling the moving of each of the discrete compartments from the closed position to the opened position. 8. The storage and dispensing workstation of claim 7, wherein each single-row drawer assembly is individually removably received in the housing. 9. The storage and dispensing workstation of claim 1, wherein the first actuator and the plurality of second actuators have means for communicating with a first transceiver, wherein communication from the transceiver actuates at least the first actuator. 10. The storage and dispensing workstation of claim 9, wherein the first transceiver actuates at least one of the plurality of second actuators. 11. The storage and dispensing workstation of claim 10, further comprising a host control module with a second transceiver, wherein the first and second transceivers are in communication with each other. 12. The storage and dispensing workstation of claim 1, wherein the cover is transparent. 13. The storage and dispensing workstation of claim 1, further comprising an end cover positioned on a leading end of the single-row drawer assembly. 14. A storage and dispensing workstation, comprising: a housing;a plurality of single-row drawer assemblies arranged in a two-dimensional array in the housing, with a first dimension of the two-dimensional array extending horizontally along a lateral axis of the housing and a second dimension of the two-dimensional array extending vertically in the housing;a plurality of drawer slides in the housing, each drawer slide comprising a first member and a second member, the first member being attached to the housing and the second member being linearly movable relative to the first member along a longitudinal axis that is perpendicular to the lateral axis;wherein each single-row drawer assembly of the plurality of drawer assemblies is disposed on top of a corresponding drawer slide such that the single-row drawer assembly is linearly extensible from the housing along the longitudinal axis independent of the other single-row drawer assemblies in the storage and dispensing workstation;wherein each single-row drawer assembly comprises a plurality of discrete compartments arranged adjacent to one another in the single-row drawer assembly in a single-row horizontal linear array along the longitudinal axis, such that the single-row horizontal linear array of compartments in each drawer assembly are extendable from the housing independent of other compartments in the other single-row drawer assemblies such that a top of the compartments in each single-row drawer assembly is visible when the single-row drawer assembly is extended from the housing,wherein each of the discrete compartments is linearly extensible from the single-row drawer assembly outwardly along the lateral axis between a closed and opened position, and wherein each of the discrete compartments is removable from the single-row drawer assembly;a plurality of first actuators connected to the housing, each first actuator operable to move a corresponding single-row drawer assembly linearly outwardly from the housing;a plurality of second actuators connected to each single-row drawer assembly, each second actuator operable to move a corresponding one of plurality of discrete compartments linearly outwardly from the single-row drawer assembly from the closed position to the opened position;a single cover affixed to each single-row drawer assembly and covering all of the discrete compartments of the single-row drawer assembly, wherein the single cover prevents access to all of the discrete compartments when the discrete compartments are in the closed position; andwherein the cover of the single-row drawer assembly is not attached to the discrete compartments and is not removed from the single-row drawer assembly when any of the discrete compartments is removed from the single-row drawer assembly. 15. The storage and dispensing workstation of claim 14, wherein the cover is transparent. 16. The storage and dispensing workstation of claim 15, further comprising an end cover positioned on a leading end of the single-row drawer assembly.
