An automated dispensing machine is a type of vending machine used to dispense drugs and other medical supplies to patients. It is also known as a unit-based cabinet, automated dispensing device, and automated distribution cabinet. Automated dispensing machines allow medications to be deposited and distributed near the point of care while monitoring and tracking drug distribution. Technological advancements in pharmacy automation have led to more developments in dispensing machines such as the implementation of centralized control and decentralized control methods of operation. These devices have also helped in elevating patient care and allotting extra time for patient counseling as automation saves pharmacists’ time, which in turn encourages them to guide patients about their medications.
