PHARMACIES

are a stronghold of health. Obviously, their function should not be limited to dispensing medicine. Therefore it is, however, necessary to have sufficient time and space. In this way well-trained personnel can advise clients in a calm and pleasant atmosphere. After all, sales of additional products comprise a considerable portion of earnings.
 

Sales area in a conventional pharmacy compared with a pharmacy
using the pneumatic tube system by Sumetzberger GMBH.

A completely new concept for pharmacies is the solution. Pneumatic tube systems installed by Sumetzberger GMBH represent a fast and efficient connection between the dispensary and the storage area. The sales floor - which formerly served as storage where pharmacists used to lose valuable time while fetching medicine - is now available for other tasks. The pharmacist may stay with the client, so he can make real use of his expertise and thus create mutual trust. And a customer who feels that he gets the best service available will come again!

THE SYSTEM

THE STORAGE AREA

may be installed in any part of the building, be it the cellar or the attic. The pharmacist orders the product via computer and the pneumatic tube system transports it to the sales area - anytime and without delay.

THE DISPENSARY

Customer-friendly medical counters can replace the old sales desk. Each line of the pneumatic tube system can supply two sales areas. This makes it possible to organize the newly gained space according to the different product sections and to decentralize the incoming customer traffic. And a bigger sales floor also means better product presentation and, hence, an increase in turnover.

THE SUMETZBERGER PHARMACY P.T.S.

have been designed especially for the needs and requirements of pharmacies. One of their remarkable features is their sophisticated technology. The carriers arrive either from below in the medical counters or from above in the dispensary shelves. Since the capsules don't have to be taken out, pharmacist and customer are able to communicate without interruption. Sumetzberger GMBH holds the patent for the lift stations in the dispensary. They can be installed according to the ergonomic requirements of the staff.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

A data interface guarantees that the products are assigned to the different lines within the system without any errors. Every line works independently and with an own propelling device. Even in case of a power failure there is no problem - thanks to an emergency power generator, the pneumatic tube system can continue working without delay. Since the system works with automatic self-closing tube sleeves, all fire protection requirements are fulfilled.
