초록 ▼

Robotic pick-and-place automation is used to transfer oral solid pharmaceuticals from moveable trays or canisters. Sensors are used to verify that the pharmaceuticals have been properly placed in the desired pharmaceutical locations precisely according to the patient prescription data. A pharmacist places pharmaceutical products within dispensing trays or canisters to present the pharmaceutical products for picking and placing via the robotic pick-and-place machinery. Once the canister or tray is located adjacent the pick-and-place device, a sensor or imaging unit associated with the pick-and-place device verifies that the pharmaceutical product the size, shape, and/or color of an expected pharmaceutical product that is to be placed within the packaging material in accordance with patient prescription data stored by a computer associated with the system. Sensors verify that each individual pharmaceutical specified by a patient prescription have been deposited into each specified location strictly in accordance with the patient prescription data.

1. A dispensing container for robotic pick-and-place packaging of solid oral pharmaceuticals comprising: a continuous interior bottom surface forming a base of a solid pharmaceutical reservoir portion and a pick-and-place staging area, wherein: the solid pharmaceutical reservoir portion has a volume that is sufficient to hold a plurality of solid pharmaceuticals; andthe pick-and-place staging area is adjacent the reservoir portion and provides a flat surface; anda hinged lid comprising a fixed portion which covers the reservoir portion and a movable portion which covers the staging area when the hinged lid is in a closed position, the movable portion comprising a barrier that extends downward from the hinged lid and separates the reservoir portion from the staging area when the hinged lid is in the closed position to prevent transfer of solid pharmaceuticals from the reservoir portion to the staging area, wherein:when the hinged lid is in an open position the movable portion moves to:expose the staging area while the reservoir portion remains covered by the fixed portion; andmove the barrier such that the reservoir portion and the staging area form a single volume; andthe dispensing container is configured to be tilted while the hinged lid is in an open position, thereby allowing solid pharmaceuticals to be transferred from the reservoir portion to the staging area. 2. The dispensing container for robotic pick-and-place packaging of solid oral pharmaceuticals of claim 1, further comprising a suction tip holder portion that temporarily secures a suction tip for the robotic pick-and-place device so that the robotic pick-and-place suction tip is covered by a suction tip corresponding to its respective dispensing canister when transferring solid pharmaceuticals from the dispensing container thereby prevent cross-contamination by using suction tips with different medications. 3. The dispensing container for robotic pick-and-place packaging of solid oral pharmaceuticals of claim 1, further comprising a linear motor for vibrating the dispensing container in order to transfer solid pharmaceuticals from the reservoir portion to the staging area. 4. The dispensing container for robotic pick-and-place packaging of solid oral pharmaceuticals of claim 3, wherein: the linear motor is further configured to tilt the dispensing container. 5. The dispensing container for robotic pick-and-place packaging of solid oral pharmaceuticals of claim 3, wherein: an amount of vibration provided by the linear motor is based on one or more of a size of each solid pharmaceutical, a shape of each solid pharmaceutical, and a weight of each solid pharmaceutical. 6. The dispensing container for robotic pick-and-place packaging of solid oral pharmaceuticals of claim 1, wherein: an angle of tilt of the dispensing container is dynamically altered based on a number of the solid pharmaceuticals present in the dispensing container. 7. The dispensing container for robotic pick-and-place packaging of solid oral pharmaceuticals of claim 1, wherein: the hinged lid comprises a mechanical cam that is configured to engage a static arm of the robotic pick-and-place device, wherein the engagement of the mechanical cam and the static arm opens the hinged lid. 8. The dispensing container for robotic pick-and-place packaging of solid oral pharmaceuticals of claim 1, wherein: a bottom surface of the reservoir portion is sloped toward the staging area. 9. The dispensing container for robotic pick-and-place packaging of solid oral pharmaceuticals of claim 1, wherein: the barrier is configured to permit access between the reservoir portion and the staging area when the hinged lid is in an open position. 10. A dispensing container for robotic pick-and-place packaging of solid oral pharmaceuticals, comprising: a continuous interior bottom surface forming a base of a solid pharmaceutical storage region and a vision region, wherein: the solid pharmaceutical storage region has a volume that is sufficient to hold a plurality of solid pharmaceuticals; andthe vision region is adjacent the storage region and provides a flat surface; anda hinged lid comprising a fixed portion which covers the storage region and a movable portion which covers the vision region when the hinged lid is in a closed position, the movable portion comprising a barrier that extends downward from the hinged lid and separates the storage region from the vision region when the hinged lid is in the closed position to prevent transfer of solid pharmaceuticals from the storage region to the vision region, wherein: when the hinged lid is in an open position the movable portion moves to:expose the vision region while the storage region remains covered by the fixed portion; andmove the barrier such that the storage region and the vision region form a single volume. 11. The dispensing container for robotic pick-and-place packaging of solid oral pharmaceuticals of claim 10, wherein: the solid pharmaceuticals are transferred from the storage region to the vision region by one or more of tilting the dispensing container. 12. The dispensing container for robotic pick-and-place packaging of solid oral pharmaceuticals of claim 10, wherein: the dispensing container is configured to be tilted, vibrated, or both tilted and vibrated by a linear motor of a staging area of the robotic pick-and-place device. 13. The dispensing container for robotic pick-and-place packaging of solid oral pharmaceuticals of claim 10, wherein: the hinged lid comprises a mechanical cam that is configured to engage a static arm of a staging area of the robotic pick-and-place device, wherein the engagement of the mechanical cam and the static arm opens the hinged lid. 14. The dispensing container for robotic pick-and-place packaging of solid oral pharmaceuticals of claim 10, wherein: a bottom surface of the storage region is sloped toward the vision region. 15. The dispensing container for robotic pick-and-place packaging of solid oral pharmaceuticals of claim 10, wherein: the barrier is configured to permit access between the storage region and the vision region when the hinged lid is in an open position.
